Exactly this.

A few years ago I was at a local community meeting about expanding a school (USA). Let me tell you something, online trolls have nothing on the people who were for or against the expansion.

I left totally shocked with the toxicity, outright lies and innuendo. At one point someone on the board said the school was a front for prostitution. The audience audibly gasped.
You know what's really silly? Conflating "event driven vs. threads" with "shared memory vs. non-shared". They're two different things. In fact, "silly" is too charitable a word to describe your abuse of terminology to support a clearly-refuted point.
>Also, PCIe was nerfed by Intel in TB3 for unknown reasons to 22Gbps, there's hope it'll be 32Gbps this time for real. You can still run a 3440 x 1440 @ 60 Hz monitor on the remaining bandwidth (or to spew marketing BS, 4k @ 30 Hz).

I'd just like to clarify, and add some info:

- you're not running the video over pcie

- ...unless you use an egpu (which has been a mostly problem free experience for me but wow YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY)

- the "problem" with pcie-via-tb3 is not bandwidth, but latency. You can run "normal" GPUs on 4x with minimal penalty for most games.

- problem free USB experience... if you're using titan ridge with modern drivers - some laptop and enclosure manufacturers ship and include in their built-in updating software old drivers. Get the latest from intel and hope for the best. Alpine ridge is still buggy, and also quite limited in many ways. Fortunately, most laptops sold in 2019 shipped titan ridge. The only way to tell if you have alpine ridge is to count how many tb3 capable usbc ports you have, if the laptop you bought maxed out the usbc ports - which it might not have on an ultraportable. insane.

- you can only get the highest speeds (>20Gbps) over a 6inch cable or a USB Type-C Active Cable. Both sides of the cable include a chip which performs clock, sync, and some power negotiation of the link
Why is Trump in this comment? You talk about dividing the country yet your comment does exactly that.

Further I think you’re wrong in your claims that nobody wants to be anonymous. Some of us are punished for our points of view and very much want to remain anonymous, using it as a place to vent frustrations with no repercussions.

I would go as far as to say that your comment is a prime example of toxicity on the web given you assume (wrongly) that everybody hates Trump and therefore it is ok to step on the thoughts and beliefs of 1/2 of the country
In my mind I thought exactly that monitor orientation and see what it is pointing at. On a second wild thought I said perhaps once that close they launch a tiny space drone that flies up to the other satellite to push buttons or whatever function it would have.

The question is not hard but no one really know. Would you test a body died recently?

China is not very reliable in gdp (one top guy told us to look at the electricity and we look at pollution). It is very hard to get stat.

So far touch wood no one died outside of China. The death rate should not be high unless the alternative saying hiv death rate after 1 month is 0%.

The conspiracy theory in a proper sense is accidentally leaked for an experiment, like sars virus leaked (later and during study) by Beijing level 3 lab.

They were once caught doing that, which caused a shit show. It doesn't mean they are currently doing that. Maybe they are, I don't know, and neither does you, asserting that they do it only spreads panic and misinformation
It’s already like that for electric cars. See Tesla’s Superchargers.
My argument is that charging is at this point a mature technology, we have a charging standard up to 100w. Do you expect future phones to draw more? What possible improvements could future charging standard have, as far as a mobile phone goes?

And yes, it is pretty normal to have manufacturers sit round a table and agree standards -most ports on a computer, 4g wireless, etc.

You cant even come up with your own phone communication standard - countries allocate frequency specifically for 4g or 5g, none will give you a frequency band for a proprietary communication standard.
Yea, I agree. That's a good quote.

I also would really like a 'strong agent' to just come along and do a 'new C++' without the cruft, kind of along the lines of the 'go' philosophy without necessarily inventing a new language.

Maybe Rust is de-facto that. Or maybe D is it and we're not playing close enough attention.

I guess your point is further validated by the hot mess of the web as well: javascript is a monster, somewhat tamed by TypeScript ... and I don't think Dart or anything else is poised to replace it.
You have to be aware that part of human nature comes with greed, dishonesty, and countless of other nasty things. Maybe what we call "gut" is another checking point to guard ourselves of the real monster inside each of us.

Take GMOs, I am still skeptical of the science behind its safety, especially knowing that corporations fund these starving scientists. There is for example, a hidden MIT (unpublished, maybe due to retaliation fears) study that found 10 correlations of diseases to the rise of GMOs. Feel free to fact-check, HN is great at this (study below):

You can accuse the less-educated or talented on their bias all you want, but ultimately the smartest elite lie more often for personal gain than the humble and innocent rest (99%)...Perhaps we should be pointing fingers at our own society that glorifies lies and hides truth. Ex: "relative truth and morality" was invented by this culture.

Perhaps there is something in our human nature that still strives for truth after all, but it is very hidden among all the lies and the rest of our majority evil nature. Some people call it "the moral law". There is still a sliver of hope...

USA 245 is an Earth observation satellite, its apogee is only about 1000 km. 42,000km would be for a geostationary satellite.

But yes, 300km is pretty close in space. Since you have no issue with atmospheric distortion, the optics become a lot more simple.

This is quite a small satellite - "mini fridge" someone said, which does limit what you can put in it. 300km is a fair distance away and you'd need an enormous focal length to resolve small features on the other spacecraft. It's possible they just want to test how well they can track another satellite. For a Hubble class telescope (~50k mm focal length) you'd get around 20cm resolution for a 4MP sensor.

A more general way, since we don't know what sensor is onboard, would be to calculate the diffraction limit for the largest mirror you could put on the satellite (sibling comment suggested 1 m, which is about 1 arcsecond at 540nm). That works out to 20cm at 300km, or about 1cm at 20km. Of course you still need the focal length and sensor to make this useful.

I guess you could compare Trump's images of the Iranian launch site which were taken at a similar distance, but with a much larger satellite.

I have to wonder at what point "culture" becomes an excuse for being ignorant and/or under-educated about what science is.
Fully 40% of those reviews are 1-star reviews (mostly due to the cables not working out of the box, or failing after a short time).

I get the feeling these aren't legitimately certified.
That won't happen because the benefits of network effects accrue to the people across the network as a whole as well as the proprietors/advertisers.

This is readily observable when you take a group of people who have never worked together and are generally unfamiliar with the outdoors and drop them into an outdoor military training exercise, such as college ROTC junior classmen.

Thinking about it, the only way that this course of action is "not logical" is that it is not "deciding on a course of action and following it regardless of the approach of one's fellows", maybe that it's not oriented to looking the terrain instead of following emotions. But all these more like skills or "personality makeup" and as such, they aren't even applicable to every situation. If you're starting a situation where individual would be bonding over a long period, congregating with one's fellows may be a good or "objective" strategy.
There are no double-blind studies of the effect cell phones on cancer. That would be impossible - how would you create a control group that thought they were using cell phones but actually weren't? And even if you could magically solve that problem, who would pay to run such a study on thousands of people for years?

And Democrats have their own bigots. They're probably worse than Republicans on appearance discrimination (the entertainment industry in particular, and every Democrat who's ever made jokes about Trump's skin or hair), and minority conservatives are subjected to the most vile racist attacks.

But even if you limit the discussion narrowly, there have been plenty of calls to violence from prominent Democrats, like:

Lea DeLaria: "pick up a baseball bat and take out every f--king republican and independent I see"

Mike Malloy: "But, you know, the NRA members are the current incarnation of the brownshirts... I look forward to ... the Night of the Long Knives when [they are] slaughtered and dumped in the nearest ditches".

Allan Brauer, the communications chair of the Democratic Party of Sacramento County: "May your children all die from debilitating, painful and incurable diseases."

Michael Feingold: "I personally think [Republicans] should be exterminated before they cause any more harm."

But things like that aren't widely reported in Democratic media, because the media (left and right) likes to do the job of filtering facts that don't fit the audience's worldview for them.

But officially one has to study this as dual use as one has to prepare the natural evolution of say SARS to another strain. Can’t be sitting duck, let evolution run its course (2% death rate is not high but times 1.4 billion it is 28m people). Hence there is a case to study it, even change it. But then ...

Just like we should fight hiv. But then someone in china use human to experiment on it.

Size requirements shouldn't be intensive, assuming it's a single-shot system. All you need is 128-256 bits worth of secret key data that is physically-destructible (e.g. with a high voltage spike). You then encrypt/decrypt the rest of the secrets stored in the device with this destructible key.

I always thought the Matrix missed a huge philosophical opportunity.

Instead of humans feeding the Alien/AI need for energy (batteries), they feed their need to be human.

They tap into the dreams, and lives of humans, not for energy, but for their souls.

They need each individual human, and through infinite permutations of life, with infinite combinations of love and hardship, through infinite Matrix's, are the ultimate voyeurs.

They're trying to analyze what makes life worth living, because they don't feel anything. Or, they have been God like for so long, they feel nothing, and need to feel something real again.

So, they limit their own senses inside the construct of human existence, which is less, but in ways they can't understand, much much more.

Ultimately, the Matrix is the AI/Alien search for life.

Neo's path to victory is the only path anyone wants. Every heroes path is the one that makes him a hero, not a loser, and is the only path that matters.

Anything else is a lesser permutation.

It is the path of the soulless, to search for their soul.
I misspoke in that sentence. What I should have said was that there is a precedent for global treaties on limiting space based weapons. In the case of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty it bans weapons of mass destruction in orbit or on the moon. This certainly needs an update. No bringing any asteroids or comets near earth's gravity well either, please.

In regards to your second point, I am simply talking about offensive weapons here. I believe that the only offensive weapons currently in space are likely to be the handguns which Soyuz Cosmonauts bring to the ISS "for protection against bears upon landing." IMO a treaty should have long been in effect which bans everything including any ground-based anti-satellite weapons entering space (energy or kinetic), and the Russian handguns. Of course treaties are not foolproof, but perfect really is the enemy of good in this case.

Comedy Written for the Machines
In Canada SNC Lavalin same things.

This is not an easy thing though: the countries in which bribes are paid are run by corrupt people who expect kickbacks as part of doing business, and there's no other way about it.

If the West wants to play morally superior on this - then 100% of Airbus, Boeing, SNC, Halliburton and massive industrials will full-on go out of business.

This issue is not part of the current round of negotiations with China and it's too bad, because without a level playing field - many industries will be wiped out and other countries will be happy to pick up the slack.

This stuff is quite common, we need a comprehensive solution.

One indirect approach might be to invest and push for open journalism in places like Malaysia, so as to force their own hand on corruption though that may be asking too much.

Surely at that resolution atmospheric noise would dominate, even at 20km (which is crazy close for a satellite, right? There’s non negligible atmospheric drag at that height).
Software like this seem like snakeoil to me. They often rely on process paths to identify applications, but that can be easily bypassed by using a reputable/plausible program as a lackey [1], or more sophisticated techniques like process hollowing[2]. Afterwards, they can communicate as the (presumably whitelisted) application. Any host-based rules (if any) can be bypassed by routing internet traffic using "popular" domains (eg. CDNs, social media networks), or by social engineering (eg. triggering a request at the same time as a user action, to make the user think it's something he intended to do).

On unsandboxed platforms, you either trust an application completely, or you don't. Tools like little snitch don't turn dangerous programs into safe ones; they only give you a false sense of security.

Arnold Schoenberg: Beauty and horror
I am not sure I understand your argument "my toaster does not have a standard connector, so neither should my iphone"? I mean, maybe they should, or maybe none cares to regulate toasters. Or maybe its only relevant to portable electronics, so laptops should have them but toasters shouldn't.

Think a bit broader - if apple wants to introduce a new phone communication standard, like 5g but different? It can't - frequencies are allocated for a specific purpose, and none will give you any for a proprietary protocol only you control.

This is not such a revolutionary idea if you look at a broader picture

* E2E encryption is incompatible with eavesdropping.

* Forbidding content, like child porn, hate speech, etc in private communication requires eavesdropping.

* Courts are used to communication channels that are easy to eavesdrop, like paper or analog phone, and keep requiring disclosure from communication providers using court orders.

* Same as with guns, law enforcement wants to ban e2e encryption so that criminals could not use it, but criminals break the law anyway, so effectively the ban is for law-abiding citizens first and foremost.

Unless you can compel general public that having communication services with unbreakable encryption is more important than law enforcement, e2e encryption will stay effectively banned for non-technical users. That is, for almost all, including most criminals, too.

> Julian Assange has been intentionally psychologically tortured by Sweden, Britain, Ecuador and the U.S.

The only thing the US has done is try to get him extradited to prosecute him. I suppose the argument can be made that he's not afraid of trial, but rather of being incarcerated for his crimes.

Also the second paragraph:

> And third, he is to be extradited to a country that holds people like him in prison conditions that Amnesty International has described as torture.

> [...] could be tortured to death in the United States.

Sorry, but these are just melodrama.
A conspiracy theory is a symptom of what people already suspect and believe about those in positions of authority. In this case the suspicion is that the epidemic is a result of a preventable accident and the incompetence and corner-cutting of the lab is being covered up to save face. People believe it because safety endangering corruption, saving face, and covering up industrial accidents are all very prevalent in Chinese society. In recent memory there's been high profile cases like the tainted milk powder, the HSR accident (that was literally buried), the explosion in tian jin etc.
silencing/deplatforming is a form of signaling to their in-group rather than an action for the greater good. in general , the more people know they are being watched, and the bigger the audience is, people are more likely to choose their actions based on signaling value, not effect
I question the premise. The US has the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 has already made it illegal to make payments to foreign government officials to assist in obtaining or retaining business. Somehow, Boeing, SNC, Halliburton, and many other massive industrials have survived so far.
uMatrix helps with all of this to block domains by name in the browser.

I suspect Little Snitch has a sort of hole in it's design.

I think the DNS lookups go through before you get the allow/deny dialog box. So your browser might do a dns lookup for user-gruez-jan-2020-in-timbuktu.<random>.trackingjerks.net which would get around little snitch.
I'm also for non-violence and am against militarization, but, sadly, violence and military conflict are inevitably not going to go away starting from 2020 onward.

[Insert rant about coordination problems / game theory / tragedy of the commons / Moloch] means the US needs to be there to counter other nations that are going to try to militarize it. In an ideal world, such a military force would only act defensively, not offensively or imperially (e.g. colonizing planets, moons, and rocks purely in the name of the United States), but I guess that's not too likely in the long-term.

When cyberwarfare started to become a real possibility and not just sci-fi, would you have argued that the US creating cyberwarfare divisions is wrong and shouldn't be done, even as just about every other major country was doing the same?

If you were president of the US right now, what would you do if you vetoed a space force and then a few months later, Russia and China simultaneously announced the creation of their own space forces? Given the current state of the world, I believe adding additional military capabilities is just necessary, even though I'm also an idealist who detests violence, war, and death of all kinds, targeted at any being.

If we lived in the year 2520 and all militaries have been disbanded for centuries and every country has been living in peace with one another for the same length of time, then, yes, I'd agree that breaking that precedent with the creation of a space force would be wrong. But unfortunately, we're not there yet, and it's possible we may not be even in 1,000 or 10,000 or 100,000 years from now. (Yes, I know there's a chicken-and-egg logic there, but I can only refer back to the implied coordination problem rant.)
