Astranis (YC W16) | San Francisco, CA | Full-Time | Onsite | US Citizen or Green Card

Four billion people do not have access to the internet. Astranis is going to change that. We are building the next generation of smaller, lower-cost telecommunications satellites to bring the world online.

Come work with incredibly smart people who have flown things in space before. No prior space experience needed, you just need to enjoy getting your hands dirty with real hardware and be okay with struggling to do things that seem impossibly hard.

We’re a well-funded team of over 100 world-class engineers that move fast. We raised our Series B ($90M) from Andreessen Horowitz and Venrock, launched our first satellite in 2018, secured our first major customer deal in 2019, and we’ll triple the satellite internet capacity of Alaska in 2021.

Our mission and our products are meant to connect the world and everyone in it, regardless of gender, race, creed, or any other distinction. We believe in a diverse and inclusive workplace, and we encourage all people to join our team and bring their unique perspective to help make us stronger.

> Nationwide protests and all of the public outcry could have been enough.

We've had protests, for separate occasions, happen years and years and decades ago, and it has not been enough.

At which point will it be enough? How many more protests will it take? How many more decades will it take? Is anyone still on the fence on 2020 about whether or not bad cops are being protected by their peers and superiors? Do you have a timeline for when this sort of thing will change?
> does Python require you to download an entire package just to determine its dependencies?

yes - the standard way of defining dependencies in Python is in setup.py, which has to be invoked as a Python script in order to work. this script may also need to read files from the rest of the project, so you do indeed need to download the whole package to determine its dependencies.

even if the Python community were to agree on a new configuration format tomorrow, there would still be a ton of packages out there that wouldn't migrate for years.
We can't know the answer. What you are describing is a GPU hang and GPU hangs are a whole class of bugs, it pretty much means "the hardware was misused and now it doesn't know how to move forward, so we reset it" (and the reset is why you get the 5s freeze, your graphics card was essentially rebooted). When this happens, i915.ko creates a nice file in your file system that you can use to create a bug report. Please check dmesg and do so.
Yes. Headcount is a metric just like anything else and is often included in decks as an example of growth.

Most of the jobs are sales people. When trying to scale fast, most VCs expect most of the money to be spent on sales people in a b2b product that has found product market fit.
.NET has it’s issues mostly due to the historical mess of frameworks, but with development converging around .NET Core things have been getting a lot better.

I think the environment system in python is a confusing design flaw that could have been avoided with project specific installations. I vastly prefer installing packages on a project-by-project basis. Python introduces dependency nightmares because two projects with different needs end up using the same central local package source unless you set up different environments. So when you install an package foo for project B, package bar might stop working for project A due a dependency on an earlier version of foo.
Huh? The 13" MBP has 4 ports, not 2. And you can buy it with the 2.0GHz quad-core 10th-generation Intel Core i5 processor as an option if that matters to you.

The top option on a MBA is a 1.1GHz quad-core 10th-generation Intel Core i5 processor.
That is certainly one of the hypotheses in the mix. Personally, I think it accounts for some, but not all of the disparity.

You're both so right. The only thing that matters is money.
>In 1967, Miami police Chief Walter Headley used the phrase "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" during hearings about crime in the Florida city, invoking angry reactions from civil rights leaders, according to a news report at the time.

> Segregationist presidential candidate George Wallace also used the phrase during the 1968 campaign.

While you might like to believe that the phrase could mean anything, it certainly doesn't. And in the context of Trumps tweet, which specifically mentions the military, it certainly means that he was threatening to have the US military fire on US civilians.

Now consider that in the context of the US threatening action against China using "tough" tactics to subdue protests in Hong Kong and you'll see the tweet for what it is. The same kind of rhetoric and threat of violence against protesters that the US condemns elsewhere in the world.
> In this case, there's no evidence that precompiling is faster in theory -- let alone in practice.

It’s absolutely not because it requires far greater effort computationally. The benefit has nothing to do with performance but instead simplified state management.

I know people desire certain frameworks due to how they perform state management. I have never really understood that motivation myself though because managing state is incredibly simple. Here is a basic outline of how simple it is:

1) realize there are exactly two facets to every component: data, interface.

2) all components should be stored in common locations. A single object stores component data and a common DOM node for storing component interfaces.

3) pick a component facet to update, either data or interface, and never update the other. The other should be automatically updated by your application logic (reflection).

4) store your data on each change. That could be dumping it into local storage. In my current app I send the data to a local node instance to write into a file so that state can shared across browsers in real time.

5) be able to restore state. On a fresh page, or even page refresh, simply grab the stored data and rebuild the component interfaces from it.

My current application is a peer to peer Windows like GUI that works in the browser and exposes the file system (local device and remote devices) in Windows Explorer like interfaces. Managing state is the least challenging part of this. The slowest executing part are long polling operations against large file system trees (it’s about as slow in the native OS interface)
They do. But you can't complain if they answer in that same language.

Like the current protesters who act surprised and offended when they get shot with rubber bullets after throwing bricks, rocks and enhanced fireworks at the police or people they deem opponents.

Good point - I meant extremely effective and uncharismatic - which does rather rule out those PMs you mention.
What's not transparent? Facebook has a policy and they determined that the remarks did "not violate company policy against incitements to violence".
Foreigners living in the US also have to renew their visas or even green cards. Do you think giving USCIS their social media accounts doesn't have a chilling effect on their ability to criticize the government?

Should green card holders not be allowed to criticize the government?
I am disappointed by the lack of leadership from the white house. The president should address the nation, bring it together and create a strategy to resolve these issues.

Edit: I should say "disappointed" instead of "surprised". Agree with the responses, there is no expectation anymore from the Whitehouse after 3 years of incompetency.
I also made the switch two weeks ago and I don't miss anything. I even removed google-fonts from my site and host the .woff files myself, so I don't force my users to send requests to Google. I replaced GA with my own self-hosted analytics platform[0] and I plan to add a lot more privacy features to it.

"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."

> Saturn V could lift 140 tonnes to low earth orbit. Falcon Heavy can lift 54 tonnes to low earth orbit. I think that means it could get a mission to the moon as long as it weighed 38% of what Apollo did. That doesn't sound like a fun trip.

While I haven't yet seen anything concrete, SpaceX's definitely wants to have orbital refueling. If I recall, that's actually one of SpaceX's requirements for Starship.

Orbital refueling would mean that lift capacity to LEO doesn't translate directly the range beyond LEO.
If you're having trouble filling your office with qualified people, get a smaller office.

Hiring people below your requirements to be done with hiring often results in less productivity than simply not hiring.
Why not launch?
> The office involved should be charged or arrested based on the circumstances and evidence

Obviously. But they weren't, and given precedent, probably never would have been. That's why this is happening.
I don't want to reply with a blanket statement, but a lot of the times senior management just doesn't understand how much work it takes to build complex IT systems and how a great team can make it happen. They see IT as disposable and expect anybody with some computer skills to be able to do complex work.
Archive.is/Archive.today is currently embroiled in a petty battle against CloudFlare DNS users, which is, imho, contrary to the spirit of an "archive" that is supposed to serve as a backup for things. I would rather support essentially any other service than one that actively tampers with DNS resolution for petty reasons.

In journalism that's sometimes called a zinger lede.
This really has become a convoluted issue about identity, coming from the perspective of a caucasion male.

Having no direct or indirect involvement with "class warfare" and "culture clashes", I think most individuals are trusting that government representatives (who many want to vote out anyways) will not milk a crisis for every penny, but instead inact meaningful reform.

Once we see autonomous delivery of work (physical production, not digital) spread in the developed world, it will be a great relief knowing that everybody can make a living without having to interact with groups that choose not to (if they desire).

The solution will provide a safety net for everyone (females, single parents, working aged adults, etc) and keep the emotions out of the equation.

Its already sickening...
His formula didn’t account for the pandemic variable. Otherwise, everything was going to plan like it has before with his investments. Yeah, he lost money. But that doesn’t mean he was not doing his usual schtick when it comes to loading up the companies with debt.
CDN could give you your logs though. I think cloudflare gives you analytics for example (not very detailed in the free version, but you can get more by paying).
Also, on that note, [citation needed] on the implicit claim that "signing up for Internet Archive Accounts" is necessary or even suggested to access the content on the Internet Archive. I've used the IA a lot, and not once did it even advertise the ability to create an account (beyond probably some Log-In/Sign-Up button somewhere that I didn't even notice), let alone require me to do so. Still don't have such an account.
...also added the constraint of non-deterministic micro-timeouts. This is some hackery, which is fun, but not something I would want to run.
This reply elides the fact that there are quite a few American police officers who have killed American citizens in similar circumstances to this one who are free and have never been convicted.

Yes, it would be great if the law worked as we intended it to. Yet it does not, and to suggest that we continue to sit here while these police officers continue to murder people undermines the ability of the people who are being murdered to stop it.

As such, we, as humans, generally have zero idea what is going on in someone else's brain when they do something unexpected (it is unexpected after all).

The thing is, we don't do unexpected things in front of each other all that often. Which is why neurotypical people generally do have a sense for each other's state of mind.

Aspies have trouble with this even in normal situations.
I'm not sure how that's your takeaway here.

Hertz's troubles seem pretty unrelated to the experience as a consumer.

While Turo is great for your weekend trip or whatever, it is not at all good for a business traveler.
One clarification: copyright was never a (direct) tradeoff between desires of the public and desires of copyright holders. It's a tradeoff between two desires of the public: the public wants plenty of works created, and the public also want plenty of rights over those works (for purposes such as building more works upon them, remixing, etc). The desires of copyright holders should only enter into that indirectly, insofar as they result in the publication of more works that wouldn't have been published otherwise, and the public wants to make that trade.

With that in mind: for any given component of copyright law, we should be asking "what would not have been produced if this particular exclusive privilege didn't exist, and does the public want to make that trade?".
Correct. The idea is that the derived state only updates when the underlying state updates. And the mapping to the DOM is just derived from that derived state. So list updates.. triggers bubble sort, triggers DOM reconciliation. The difference with Svelte is it sees it and the compiler writes the reactive code in the background. In Solid you just write the reactive code yourself.. ie.. `setState` etc. But it more or less works similarly.

It's like Svelte without abstracting the update mechanism. Which makes it a little more to get into at first but very similar to a library like React. The difference from React is that Solid knows exactly what you are updating so it doesn't bother with the other stuff.
> [Pipenv] loads packages from PyPI so it does not suffer from the same problem as Conda does.

False. Conda manages packages installed from PyPI. This is discussed under the Conda section, so I'm surprised the quoted line wound up in the article.

Not without some substantial delay. The stock market and the housing market are definitely correlated, but not perfectly so.
And the US through it's massive influence and bullying would undoubtedly force it upon other countries, as they have done countless times including in the context of copyright.
There is a law against this (it is called fraudulent conveyance).

And most activist investors don't plan to lose all their money. I don't know where this meme comes from but investor's interests are totally aligned with the company (Ichan lost nearly $2bn here...how much did the CEO lose? The article says they bought a few shares that didn't go up...oh, won't someone think of the poor CEO).

You can't "transfer their assets out" if you are an investor or "load them up with debt"...that just isn't how corporations work (most activists have non-controlling stakes).

The issue, and the reason activist investors exist, is because the interests of management are usually not aligned with the company. Most of these companies are vulnerable because they are poorly run. If you want to criticise them, you have to start by saying that you think managers are never wrong and shouldn't be accountable to do the people that pay their wages...go ahead (bear in mind, former managers at Hertz committed accounting fraud and the reason Icahn came on board was massive market share loss).

It isn't the union that makes the cost of police high, its that they're a select group: physically fit(when they're hired!) yet no criminal or antisocial record(surprisingly rare), and fairly intelligent. Add the expensive training that goes into policing and you get what you pay for.
One big problem is that the elected after being elected, choose to not follow or dilute those promises. There is no accountability. So time and again, democracy fails as they just change their minds after being elected.

There is this "damping" factor like a mechanical system, that takes the energy out of the people's hands and dampens it with lobbying, dishonesty, unaccountability and complete neglect for public interest. The response of the system is now steady state with little change. We need a public roster of each politician and their promises written in notarized documents, that can be used to strip them of relection and penalize them in some way so that future politicians cannot weasel their way out of promises.

I would also vote for public presentations with slides + data by each politician instead of these stupid debates and speeches. They should be documented and scrutinized for accuracy of data and their claims. We have startup decks, but yet politicians don't have to make presentations. Instead they trade blows on a debate stage with polished repertoire which has now become an entertainment show, at least at the presidential level.
