The initial ideas for geostationary satellites dating back to their invention by Arthur C Clark envisioned basically manned space stations with communication enquipment attached. Only technological advances later on enabled the current ring of large independent satellite that are long lived yet still eventually expandable.

Given that the GEO ring space is indeed finite & should be kept free of debris (even crossing one) at all costs I can imagine eventually reverting to the idea of large communication stations instead of individual satellites.

The stations will likely still not be manned will support automated & possibly even manned servising. It could look likey large truss, kinda similar to the one used on the ISS. Inside it would host power & fuel interconnects. Attached to it would be the communication payloads, solar power modules, engines and fuel tanks. Periodically a resuply/repair craft would visit, replenishing fuel & swapping any failed modules. Depending on your launch costs broken mpdules would either be tossed to a safe graveyard orbit or brought back (possibly to a LEO space station) for refurbishment.

The first steps of this might be already happening with the recently launched Mission Extension Vehicle:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Extension_Vehicle

The MEV will grapple a satellite that is low on fuel and will act as it's replacement propulsion unit. In this way it can serve at multiple satellites and ppssibly even serve as a tug for satellites that have failed & are are likely to fail soon, to make sure they reach the designated graveyard orbit.

And other similar & more ambitious missions are already planned and being built.
Isn't this at odds with the ruling in Amazon's favor about a similar issue?

Got to meet MS4S at Govt Cloud Conf in DC. The deal for premiere founders is $325K in Azure Credits. That's pre-seed level. No equity. Then post-incubation you can talk to MS Ventures for Seed Round. Auto-enrolled via YC SUS ;)

I also like the Azure Portal web panel. Powershell in the browser is fun to play with on simulations of clusters.

So long as there is sufficient space between the hood and the engine, which tends to be the main issue with very low cars. Sheet metal deforms as a pedestrian bounces off of the hood, increasing the interaction time and decreasing the instantaneous acceleration. This requires at least 10 cm between the bottom of the hood and the top of the engine. Less distance, and a pedestrian instead bounces off of the engine block, which doesn't deform on impact.
It depends on what you're working on. I'm in the simulation area at an engineering company, and we've got plenty of Fortran code that dates back to the '70s that's still just fine. A little maintenance to work on removing deprecated syntax, a little work to replace common blocks with a more decoupled design, and we're probably good for decades more use. And if we can't get to that maintenance work right now, the strong backwards-compatibility of Fortran will have our back until the next opportunity. :)
Does Apple really have a “process” for picking items up? I ordered a maxed out iMac Pro for around $15,000 and waited nearly a month for it to finally arrive at the store. I got a voice mail and an email instructing me to come pick it up. Only upon driving all the way to the store was I finally informed in person that they “accidentally” gave my iMac Pro to the wrong customer an hour ago who had merely ordered a base model iMac. Their solution was to reorder mine and I’d need to wait yet another month to get it. I don’t really see how it’s possible to hand an online order to the wrong customer. The customer name is in large bold text on the barcode sticker on the box that they scan before completing the sale. The employees weren’t able to explain how it happened. They didn’t even try to articulate a process by which they would discover who was responsible. Just told me they were totes sorry and stuff.

They went to great lengths to avoid any communication about the theft taking place through Apple’s systems. They intentionally made me waste my time to come in person before telling me what would happen next.

I believe an Apple Store employee knew what orders were coming to the store and he wanted mine for himself, so he conspired with his friend to come pick it up for the price of a base model iMac.

I was recently interested in buying a maxed out Mac Pro for 50k+ but this experience has frightened me into avoiding expensive custom orders from Apple. Furthermore I don’t want to risk some rogue employee’s goons taking it to the next level by physically attacking me and robbing me on the way to my car. I’m probably not going to order a Mac Pro until I can find bodyguards to hire to escort me from the store through the shopping center and to my car. Which means I’ll probably never order a Mac Pro. None of this is sarcasm or hyperbole.

Are you listening, Tim? Probably not.

The Adweek source linked goes into a little more about it, but not much. Specifically mentioning a model was used for lyrics first, then the AI created a melodic and percussive arrangement. It doesn't say much more about how it was done.

I found another article that states they had a real human voice sing the lyrics (then auto-tuned it to Scott's style), but there's no actual sources here, or on any other articles I can find.

Never Again is a serious duty to uphold. I refuse to bury my head in the sand. That would yield the world to agents of chaos and malice. Inaction is a choice. To not act when a genocide is happening is to be an accessory to that genocide. There is no opting out. Note that I have not said what "action" would entail, but I want everyone to reflect on how the Allied Powers ultimately rescued the Jews during the Holocaust. Reflect on how Clinton saved the Bosnians, racked with guilt for not helping in Rwanda. Needless to say, those actions were 100% necessary.

I hope you achieve the peace you seek by turning off the news though. I get it.

That’s a highly disturbing and misguided framework if you ask me.

Maybe it’s some sort of clever reverse-psychology trick to train the next generation of GCHQ minions; or maybe it’s a social honeypot. More likely, somebody somewhere had to throw some money at friends and cronies and came up with this “campaign”.
Wow. The only time I ever had to go through something like that was working for Ferraro/TicTac in Brantford during the summer when I was a student.

We would have our lunch bags randomly searched as we passed through the outer security gate on our way to parking.

Bloody TicTacs.

They would leave snacking items or seconds in the break room for people to eat if there were any—just don’t walk off the lot with a half pack of TicTacs.

But I’ve never experienced so little trust elsewhere.
Apple treats the regular variables that retail stores must suffer as unbearable undefined behavior. They try to regulate and define too much. Their customers truly are, literally and figuratively, treated like sheep at every opportunity.
PS: it only occurred to me now, the court might actually be doing Apple a favor by forcing them to avoid a penny-pincher mistake.
We solved it by killing the wolves and making them fear coming near civilization.

Reintroducing them undoes that, and if they're going to be a protected species, the same solution that's worked forever no longer will.

Different rules, different behavior.

And most dogs are primarily to alert people. One on one, a wolf is usually going to win. Packs of dogs evens things out some, but it's not a sure thing. Although if dogs end up being the main protection loophole, I'll be interesting to see if people move towards more aggressive dogs.

I don't really "memorize" specific words, and I don't generally rely on a lot of "presenter notes". Instead, I just try to:

A. know the material well enough that I could ad-lib the entire talk with the material on the slides just reminding me what I'm supposed to be talking about as I progress

and

B. mentally rehearse the talk (or at least parts of it) a few dozen times before hand. Again, not trying to memorize, just making sure I can talk intelligently about what I'm supposed to be talking about, for 60-90 minutes (or however long the slot is).

When the actual talk starts, I just start talking and go with whatever comes out. Nobody is ever going to really know if I was "off script" or not, unless I go WAY off into la-la land.

No. The whole premise for the keeping up with Joneses are that you know them well. They love in your neighborhood, they have similar jobs, etc. The phycological lie is that based on some things you should be able to keep up.

I love Slack. It’s also where information goes to die. You’re not supposed to keep permanent info in a chat room.

Yes, and in your first example, Bob's statement is outside of court, and Jane's description of it is admissible. (Same as how mattis's description of Trump's admission would be admissible)

There are also cases where Jack's statement would be admissible (for example if Jane was unable to be called as a witness).

I think mainstream media is very dislikeable, and this "correct" information exists and can be gift wrapped to an extent. The only problem is that it's not so easy: if you want true education, get books on the matter (e.g. middle east history and current affairs). Vastly more valuable than trying to grasp the torrent of sensationalist news snippets. Not everyone has the commitment to do so. I'm not sure in that case if it's better to read no news at all or only read news (and no detailed reporting); I'm inclined to think no news is better. If you're not willing to question, contextualize and integrate information that's offered, better not take it, waste of time (or worse when it is skewed).
>Alternatively, you could treat people like people and give them an actual measure of respect instead of stealing time and money from them

Thats depends on what one value, if you think treat people like people is important then yes you should do it but if one value profit then doing what apple did make sense.

Yeah, especially in LEO / MEO. In GEO towards space seems like a better bet though.

I'm not at all convinced that the heavyweight toolchains have led to any improvement in webapp quality. Maybe there are rockstar apps out there I just haven't seen, but for the most part the web these days is vastly more bloated and somewhat less stable than it used to be, without doing anything more that any user actually wants. This is not progress.

It doesn’t and the only reason we’ve done it this way is because software distribution at scale had to be on physical medium of one sort or another.

Shipping updates used to mean literally shipping new hardware to be installed.

We’ve treated software like a literal thing to meet boxed software business sales expectations. Back in the day people sold things.

There are a number of different ways to build and distribute software that achieve the same level of results. We’ve just stuck to using the ones that traditional business models are willing to fund.

Apparently curve fitting for ephemeral finance growth is achieving literal economic gains. Or something. The epistemology of economics has diverged from the ontology, become less about material goods, more about information organization which is harder to value given as we say here, we curve away too fast and have to rewrite it, no one knows
I did follow through to Adweek, but given that it is Adweek and not NME, I wasn’t sure how literally to take the word “arrangement” there :-) Thanks!
I dunno. The part about bringing a bag full of moths to a theater showing propaganda films is kind of amusing. I'll admit I would not have thought of that.

Then again, they also tell you to short out your own electrical outlets so that nobody else in the apartment building can listen to the radio. I wouldn't have thought of that, either.
The damage done by the items on your list is mostly limited to the single attacker.

If it was just "determined attacker can do a search, and use the results privately" it wouldn't be a big deal. But they can then spread the result to everyone else in the world in a way that almost negates the barriers.

The recording option is closer, but search can be done retroactively, which makes a huge difference.
Or perhaps an incompetent employee really just gave it to the wrong customer? Maybe they were tired and distracted after a long day at their insufferable retail job? Maybe someone forgot to put your identifying sticker on the box?

It's a bit hard to express this with plain English so maybe it makes sense to just write out the pseudo-code.

A: attack if acks from B > 0

B: attack if acks from A > 0

Let's look at the current

A --> B : Original message (not an ack)

A <-- B : Ack from B (A is now committed to attacking)

A -/> B : Ack from A is lost, B does not attack

Okay let's change it up

A: attack if acks from B > 1

B: attack if acks from A > 0

A --> B : Original message (not an ack)

A <-- B : Ack from B (A is not yet committed to attacking)

A --> B : Ack from A (B is committed to attacking)

A </- B : Ack from B is lost, A does not attack

The essential problem (which I failed to explain correctly) is that while you can always go from a fixed set of interactions and work out a protocol that would've worked for that particular interaction, you can't go the other direction (starting with a protocol and throwing arbitrary interactions at it).

I think all or at least most Linux distributions include pen testing tools in their official repositories, Kali Linux just ships them out of the box. It seems that most kids using Kali Linux do it because it's "elite" or whatever, they don't know how to actually use it. I'm much more worried about a kid running Debian than one running Kali Linux, if only because Debian isn't "cool" so they must actually know what they're doing.

That being said, I don't expect law enforcement to be that sophisticated.
If you need a bodyguard when you buy a new computer, perhaps it's a sign that you are spending a bit too much money on it.
The MS - for - startups page is pretty clear that Microsoft wants the startups they help to be helpful for _their_ customers down the road. So they want the startup to ideally play nicely with Azure / Office365 / GitHub / other Microsoft properties.

The funding thing is a bit restrictive (speaking as a currently-bootstrapping founder), but I understand that it would be very challenging filtering out scammers and not-serious users otherwise. It's easy to put up a nice-looking website and then spend the (pretty generous) credits on unrelated work.

I don't think anything here is especially nefarious, given how public they are about the restrictions and goals. Think of it as closer to an accelerator than a charity, if it helps frame the program better in your mind.

It does via the Forer Effect. The goal is to make generic statements and tell the listener that you’re talking about them (or someone just like them). Listeners then subconsciously fill in the blanks and create the most relatable impactful art imaginable.

That’s why beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You need the audience to impart the meaning ;)
