Astronomy telescopes are pretty different from the sorts of optical sensors used to take pictures of people. Through amplification they can detect very small numbers of photons. The error margin of trying to exclude something like a bright satellite in the field of view is going to be significantly larger than the detection threshold.
The article you pointed to said that is would be $2 million that SpaceX would have to spend on each launch. That would not be the amount for someone to purchase a launch with that rocket. Considering Elon estimated that development would cost $5 billion to $10 billion [1], the cost of launch would likely be much higher based on recouping the intial development and manufacturing costs.

As a side note, I don't really believe the $2 million price tag either based on my own experiences. Mission specific planning/services/verification tend to push prices of launches 10s of millions of dollars above the "sticker prices" that SpaceX puts on their website.

Nothing against SpaceX, I am a fan of everything they have done to decrease launch costs. They have significantly changed the game in terms of lowering launch costs. But it is really hard to take Elon's wild numbers that he gives the press at face value.

And that was the most complete one of the bunch, from my understanding. Children of Hurin was only scraps before Christopher turned it into something cohesive. He still described his role as "editorial", but his father did not even have a draft of a standalone Hurin book.

I have a personal set of charities that I donate to regularly.

Then, as a family, we discuss, and we have a couple regular charities, and then a few charities for causes that are important to us that year (e.g. this year it's voting rights), and we research and find the best charities (not necessarily the biggest) and donate a much more significant amount.

We discuss this every year, and bring up the past year's giving.

This is something new for us -- discussing money and charity like this. As kids, we had no idea my parents donated to anything. My own kids are too little at the moment, but soon enough they can join too.

I don't donate anything else (except for my local homeless news carriers), and feel no guilt at all for not accepting the supermarket's scammy charity of anything else.
Maybe look for related tasks that no one else wants to do? I enjoy polishing, hardening, fixing, and optimizing existing code. Turns out a lot of "great" programmers can't be bothered to check error statuses, document their stuff, handle unusual cases, etc.

We were seeing 15+ minute delays on every job submitted to AI Engine. That’s 15 minutes to just get a traceback if your job failed immediately. They had to upgrade their internal k8s cluster and that took 6 months (??).

And their service would randomly fail entire jobs a few hours in that GCloud support engineers never diagnosed. We had people on-site too.

GCloud should be giving away this advertised support plan free for at least the next two years. Their stuff is way too unreliable to justify a support fee.
You're assuming that Japan could have kept Midway resupplied, let alone defended it. From what I understand, that's very questionable.

Midway wasn't keeping Japan contained in the South Pacific - the two were as militarily separated as Midway and the Aleutians. Japan probably could have taken the South Pacific in early 1942, in fact - but instead divided her fleet carriers up piecemeal, available to be defeated in detail.

I run about 7-10 miles a day and mediate, and no I am not talking about me, I am talking about the effects of cortisol and chronic stress generally. And not to take away from the stress you felt in your studies, as I say stress is cortisol and the effects are the same no matter the trigger, but in the scheme of life stress in studies is very low. Consider people who have been through traumatic events war, rape, homelessness, kidnappings, murder of a loved one, the death of a child, etc... ]

I never said there are no beneficial effects of IF, caloric restriction is good for most people and IF helps that.

Fake news isn't the biggest issue with media. It's obvious and can be easily taken down or discredited.

The selective editing of facts by individuals with personal bias inside large organizations that are supposed to be trustworthy to push narratives and frame thinking in a self serving and incorrect way is much more insidious imho. It's also a way harder problem to solve.

>What makes it hard to believe that an educated collection of people who make decisions at a large technology company sincerely care about doing something good about it?

I have incredibly cynical views on corporations due to their strong incentives to put the bottom line before everything else. They have a legal obligation to shareholders who tend to either be sociopathic or low-information enough to not care about anything about the bottom line.

That all being said I do believe that do-gooders do try to push initiatives like this for ethical reasons and try to sell them to shareholders as helping the bottom line. Certainly IT will only come under more and more scrutiny in terms of its climate impact anyways.
In my experience they aren't different at all. Steam Workshop is just a distribution platform for mods. It's a mod installer and manager. It doesn't stop you doing it manually.
You're supposed to follow the argument in the article. The idea of invoking these colours as an explanatory tool is circular reasoning. You're taking a bunch of traits, call them blue, and then use that colour as an explanation for why you have the traits, when in fact you have just restated some behaviour using slightly different words.

it's like saying "the weather is bad because it rains". That's not an explanation for why the weather is bad, it's just the definition of what bad weather is.

When people are led to believe they have this or that trait because of some sort of colour schema they tend to believe that this classification is an explanation for their behaviour and has some sort of control or ontological meaning, which it has not. In reality, the behaviour is complex, dynamic, context-dependent and escapes easy classification. Which really should be obvious to anyone with a critical mind because human psychology is slightly more complicated than a test which has fewer colors than the power rangers.

Which is caused by the bad cultural ideas in the first place. Ideally, people should almost never sit (on the chairs at least, yogic sitting postures are Ok once mastered). Maintaining the right posture while standing for whole days is hardly possible for most of the people too. People should mostly lay while using computers + walk for at least an hour + have about 20 minutes (see the "The First 20 Minutes" book by Gretchen Reynolds for scientific references) of high-intensity exercising and there will be no back pain. Sitting is what killing us. Whenever I don't have to go to the office I do my coding laying on the floor an feel a way better. Sadly, I've never seen an office where you would not be meant to sit.

This post is poorly researched or misguided relative to the topic at hand.

We are discussing drugs(or other systemic measures or therapies) that make people younger. The only thing that you can manage to do if you do all those things you listed perfectly is to come close to your theoretical maximum lifespan that is already preset in your biology/genetics. What we are trying to do with these drugs is to increase that biological span, the base span that you are currently always limited at, regardless of how many broccoli you eat or how many steps you make each day. Those are not the same endeavors, they don't work in the same way (although sometimes they will overlap of course).

Please see this quote from Aubrey de Grey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPyObli0ezA

It is not enough to just recommend people to have a good lifestyle. That is a plus, but that will not get humanity to regular 100+ of healthy life years. We need actual new biological or genetic technology to do this.

One of the things that Game of Thrones got right is to realize that a novel corresponds to a dozen hours of screen time, not three. The Lord of the Rings trilogy misses a lot of the epic scope of the book, focusing a lot more heavily on battles and missing out on the sheer weight of time.

I don't know if any film could really capture that, especially to Christoper's satisfaction. But the movies are action-adventure blockbusters, and the books really aren't. It's notable that the Battle of the Hornburg was only about a page of text, but close to an hour of screen time. That kind of shift of focus recurs throughout the adaptation. Tolkien was creating an alien world; Jackson gave us a familiar Sort Of Middle Ages Or Something.

The films did manage to capture the age of the world better than anybody could possibly have imagined. Jackson hired the best artists, famed for producing images that were better than Tolkien's own, and capturing a lot of what Christopher would treasure in the book. As a series of still images, Christopher should have found a lot to admire in the films. But the dialogue doesn't achieve the same.
Don't try to read it in book order/chronological order. Instead, start with "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age" (which has a brilliant short retelling of LOTR), then "Akallabêth", then "Quenta Silmarillion" and only then "Ainulindalë".

They are all largely self contained, and it's much easier to go through in quasi-reverse order. Just use the Wikipedia synopsis to get up to speed on the chronologically preceding section first. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Silmarillion#Synopsis)

I've been writing a (hopefully one day) POSIX compatible shell using a parser generator library. Having to try and fit sh into a parser framework makes you make some choices, and it's a great way to find these weird things. For example, I was surprised at first to learn that `{ ls }` isn't a valid program. Or:

FOO=1 echo $FOO
# vs
FOO=1; echo $FOO
# vs
FOO=1 printenv FOO

you should try typing with closed eyes. after some time you see the code directly in your mind.
You are contradicting yourself. If one cannot do these things safely by hand, then noone can implement the automatic abstractions either.
I'm convinced that most of these are due to the lack of back muscle development. Muscles which would normally stabilize your spine as you move are too weak to do so, so things get screwed up. I had really bad back problems in my mid-30s. They all went away when I started lifting weights. Took me a while to even get to a point where I could lift _anything_ without back pain in fact. Initially lifting 60lbs off the ground would cause pain - an embarrassing fact for a heavy-set 6'2" male. After a year and a half of consistent progress I topped my deadlift out at 525lbs. I decided not to go further, since I don't compete, and I'd need to buy more plates and a different bar for my barbell. I haven't had any back pain ever since.

The worst part of the situation is, nearly 100% of the doctors will tell you not to do back strengthening exercises beyond the bullshit you typically see at your PT office, which really does nothing to make you stronger. I do not advise most people to lift as much weight as I do, but you gotta give that posterior chain a good workout at least once a week, and the best way to do so is by squatting with a barbell and doing deadlifts. The loads can vary, do as much as you're comfortable doing.

> Clojure is always the wrong option to get into the principles of Lisp.

Yet, somehow out of all Lisp dialects, Clojure today remains the most pragmatic choice. Clojurescript is arguably the best alt-js choice, where Elm, Reason and Purescript for various reasons still can't reach its level of the simplicity and practicality.

Clojure has immutability by default, which alone has number of great benefits. It is FP focused. It can be learned à la carte, which greatly simplifies process of learning.

Clojure community is one of the friendliest and most diverse communities of developers.

In comparison, Common Lisp today (sadly) becoming like Latin of programming languages. It is cool to learn it and know it, but in many circles the practicality of that knowledge remains somewhat questionable.

As if the film trilogy were nothing but eye candy?

The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy was as transformative for fantasy as Star Wars was for science fiction - people didn't even think the trilogy could be filmed, much less be successful, as fantasy (like comic books and, ironically, science fiction before Star Wars) was considered cheesy, juvenile schlock forever doomed to box office failure. Peter Jackson not only filmed the unfilmable, but wound up creating what many people would consider one of the greatest motion picture trilogies ever, on many levels, beyond just spectacle. There are probably millions more Tolkein fans across the world just because the trilogy was as good as it was.

Given that the canonical onscreen adaptation of the trilogy until that point was a cartoon by Filmation from the 70s, I would hope purists could maybe see the silver lining around the cloud.

> Having done business in both, it is an order of magnitude better than mainland China, both in terms of civil society (helping out strangers, littering, tax dodging etc)

Your personal anecdotal experience does necessarilly agree with the statistics. There's a difference, but not an order of magnitude one.

According to the corruption perception index, Japan is at 73, the US is at 71, Taiwan at 63, Korea is at 57, India is at 41, China is at 39, and the Phillipines are at 37. Neither India, nor the Phillipines had a 1966 moment, if I may point out.

According to trust polling, people in China trust their peers, and businesses more than in most other countries, but I'd assume you would want to dismiss that result.

I can't think of a good objective proxy besides those two. Do you know of one?

> As for Korea not being an active war zone and having a functional centralized government in WW2... the Korean War put paid to that pretty quickly.

The Korean war lasted 3 years, and was largely a proxy conflict, with clearly-defined sides, largely made up of foreign armies.

The Chinese civil war lasted 30, without anyone having a clear understanding of who the enemy was.

It's like saying "The United States had a civil war, and it's now fine!" There's more than an order of magnitude difference in the cultural trauma of a war that lasts a few years, and one that lasts an entire generation.
> we always avoided the deadlift due to the high risk of injury

But doing a deadlift properly is the most natural type of movement.

Like lifting your child off the ground. Or putting a sandbag in the back of the truck. I've done thousands and thousands deadlifts with no injury.

Can you provide a reference for your assertion?
I do tai chi chuan, with a teacher that insist on having the right (ie efficient in combat) postures. That's pretty tough to reach (you need a lot of muscle flexibility); that is, years of mild training. Although I'm nowhere near having the right postures, working on that twice a week makes a huge difference on my back pain. I also do standing tree posture chi kung, 20 minutes every working days. Helps a lot

And I started to do all of that not because I love martial arts, but because it relieves my pain significantly. If I had the time, I'd some some swimming too and some running to help my heart too.
