Imagine you're standing in a flat field, facing the satellite. Degrees from the horizon is how far you would have to bend your neck to be looking straight at the satellite.

FCC filings suggest 25 is the absolute minimum for service, the final constellation is likely to use somewhere in 40-60 as the actual limit.

I've received this question a few times now, anyone have a better name? Or maybe I should just add a ? button with a diagram?
Peter F. Drucker, influential author of countless books on management, once made a very simple argument: there are reader types, and there are listener types. If you are dealing with a partner you better know which type they are.

It doesn‘t make sense to hand a listener type a manuscript without talking about the subject, and it doesn‘t make sense to set up meetings with a reader type before you hand off the written argument.

We should perhaps just accept that an tolerate each other where our strengths are.

For higher end stuff, you can play Alyx through Virtual Desktop on Quest. I haven't tried it myself yet, but I've watched the videos and apparently it is quite good assuming you get everything setup correctly.
If you think that's excellent and are interested in fuse, you're probably intereted in 9front which takes the concept to another level. Ftpfs does what it says, but webfs handles http and forms and the like, upas/fs can show your imap inbox, it's splendid and simple and allows your tooling to be the familiar nix-like utilities like awk and sed. Even capture your screenshot by catting /dev/screen to a file
Yes, though both strategies produced ungodly profits.
Putting nice markup (or even OK formatted text) into SVG has been a pain for me.

I put an SVG background, then layer the HTML over it.

It works but, I'm not happy about it.
There is a metric called time to live (ttl) that cycles users out of an audience after x days. Technically they can live in bluekai forever, but pretty much all platforms default ttl to like 120 days and then advertisers pare it down even more.

Oracle's data transfer/storage costs are meaningless since this business unit in oracle just exists to establish market share - they're not trying to make money yet. Other company's data costs are what cause oracle to store/deliver less.
TBF: I know enough German to answer the phone and give some answers to basic questions, but not enough German to make on-the-record statements about some important legal issue.

I mean, I ultimately agree BaFin is shady as hell here, but I can at least imagine a scenario where someone thought "wait I thought we were going to talk about something routine my language skills are not good enough for something this sensitive".
Nobody would mind how they spent it if it was actually theirs to start with. When you give out free money it becomes everybody's business.

Won't those same people just get into the same trouble elsewhere?

I see no net positive here, and a few net negatives.

1 - History. For better or for worse, it never the less is.

2 - If people do come from all over to see it, then, that means, by definition, it's a thing people want. You're generally supposed to provide what people want, not remove it wherever you find it.

3 - If my zero-sum theory is right, or if the numbers even merely lean that way even if still a little imbalanced, then isn't knowing the where the emergencies will happen ahead of time better than having them happen in unpredictable random places throughout the whole of a place as huge as Alaska?

Seems like a dumb response to the, observation. I wouldn't even say "problem", merely observation, unless you could show that the bus actually adds some harm that wouldn't still be there just somewhere else.
"Whereas" is commonly the first word of a bill.
The planet is definitely in the way of radio transmissions between you and a satellite "below the horizon" and even if it could pass through the planet that's a long way. On the other hand a satellite in a boring orbit that's directly above you is 90° from the horizon with no obstacles and as close as it'll ever be so your reception ought to be good.

An optimist might believe Starlink will work at 10° above the horizon. A pessimist might doubt anybody will get it working below 80° (ie almost directly overhead). The reality is likely to be in between and this UI lets you see the effect.
I don't think you have enough pixels to work with.
> "If borrow checker rejects your code, it was wrongly structured anyway"

Nobody is claiming that? At least not in this thread.

I think your confusion stems for thinking that "Rust == borrow checker". The borrow checker is a tiny part of Rust.

> The mental overhead of rust

I find the mental overhead of Rust to be smaller than that of Python, Go, Java, Haskell, C, C++, Lisp, and pretty much any other language that I've ever used.

In Rust I don't have to think about multi-threading, data-races, memory management, resource acquisition and release... the compiler does the thinking for me. I also can refactor and reshuffle code at will, and trust the compiler to catch all errors.

Changing a type that pretty much every translation uses in a 500k LOC code base and add multi-threading to it? No problem, just try it out, and if it compiles, it is correct.

I can't say the same of Go, Python, Java, etc. where threading errors are impossible to debug. And well, it wouldn't even be worth trying. It would be impossible to make sure that the code is correct, even after fuzzing for weeks.
SpaceX gets lots of money from governments as incentives to expand their production facilities so should all their spending be subject to such scrutiny as well?

> Changing the rules hurts all developers who already abide by them.

I don't follow the logic here.

> people are just entitled and think the only reason their adtech shovelware is failing is because of Apple

If Hey was funded by shovelware ads it would have been approved by Apple. Instead it's funded by a $99 subscription, which the developer refused to give $32 of to Apple, so it was rejected.
> It is not free https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/b/windows

Most people either upgraded for free to a new version (the same operation was paid before), or get Windows through a subsidized OEM version. Subsidized is pretty clear: you pay less, in exchange for something else.

> varying price is something I would expect from airlines, not from respectable business.

Why should we expect a software company to be more ethical, for varying definitions of ethical, than an airline company?
There is a bit of a tendency to overlook sports games in most "gaming" discussion

They kind of should be overlooked, if you're talking about a particular year in gaming. They don't follow the same release cycles as other games. Most of the time, the only prominent change from year-to-year is the update to team rosters and player statistics. In that sense, sports games are more like an annual subscription to a single game (with the occasional engine update or refresh) than a series of games.

Of course, there are some (non-sports) game sequels that are little more than a content refresh but they are the exception and often receive negative criticism unless the content itself is really good.
lol; you could probably mark generations by whether you reach for "rebuild gentoo" or "mine BTC" as the first option for maxing out your load...
Let me see ...

> There is no hard evidence coronavirus exists.

China and the WHO said it wasn't contagious for months.

> Coronavirus is linked to 5G (a popular internet conspiracy).

5G and COVID-19 are both from China. Coincidence?

> The number of people dying from coronavirus has been deliberately hidden or exaggerated by authorities.

That's been reported in several countries, including China, the USA and several other countries. Whether it's deliberate or because of bad testing, nobody knows how many died of corona, ventilators, or other causes.

To be less facetious, the reported "facts" about corona flip-flop weekly, so it's not the viewer at fault here. Wear a mask or not? Immune or not?

The CDC had since 2003 to get a handle on coronaviruses, and instead acted all surprised when there was another pandemic a generation later in 2019, then shipped faulty test kits for 6 weeks.

It takes quite an agenda to deny there aren't conspiracies around corona. There's such a thing as too many coincidences, so why should the public believe anything they're told at this point? The Imperial College model is laughably wrong, and still hasn't been corrected.
libtorrent has repeatedly ignored requests for sequential download because of the silly spec. There's a patch out there that quite easily enables it. It's a bit absurd to me because there's a very good use case for sequential download and it's not clear there are any actual side effects.
SEO everywhere.

This is all getting to be too much.

Eventually they won't, right now they do.
thanks for the elaboration.. maybe just add this explanation as a tooltip on hover or something similar?
I agree with you. But then again the corruption/waste in military procurement/development is a well-known issue. I think paying strong attention to return per bucks is a mindset we need to reintroduce in every sector.
Interesting, you got a link? In my dealings with BaFin they were rather open and capable (but slow to act).
Ha, I thought only technical knowledge requires intelligence. Besides... “I could teach anybody … to be a farmer. … You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn.”.

> So if wantrepreneurism is a form of conspicuous consumption for the privileged - or those who desire to become so - what's the equivalent for the less privileged?

> I think it has to be MLM and Instagram influencing. The wantrepreneur wants to be a mini-Jobs, but the MLM/Insta dreamer wants to be a mini-Kardashian, hawking products with a glamorous image. But their desire is exploited ruthlessly by a system that promises success but will mostly drain their wallet. Nevertheless a lot of them feel the need to keep going, largely because they've publicly bought into the image.

Interesting idea, with the sad conclusion that whilst the average wantrapreneur suffers the opportunity cost of missing out on salary, they might well actually be able to pay themself from some sort of funding and come out with an enhanced CV and personal network, whereas the MLM dreamer who's less able to afford it probably spends more on inventory than they earn on sales and burns their personal network with irritating sales pitches.
I'm guessing based on my own experience that it's obvious if you understand why that would matter.

So the diagram may be the best option, maybe with a Wikipedia link if there's an appropriate one?
Think of it as a diplomatic move against straight up invasion.
Many developed nations are reducing nuclear energy dependency as a matter of policy and preventing new reactors as a matter of regulation so dereg is a barrier that needs to be addressed for nuclear to become an alternative source in the highest carbon-impacting nations.

The key parameters in a nuclear build are:

1) the construction time (impacted by regulatory regimes)

2) the cost of capital (interest rate of tying up money)

3) an uncertainty factor about getting shut down (impacted by regulatory regimes)

In China, 1&2 are 3-4 years and 2% respectively. In the US they are 8-9 years, 15% and maybe 50% chance you'll be shut down before you can finish. [0]

> That makes no sense. Apple didn't create the market segment, but because those people choose to use iPhone, you can't sell them an email service that doesn't work on iPhone.

Make the email service work on iPhone. There are more than 2,000,000 apps in the App Store. There's no reason to think they're being unfair with that many in there. If you can't make an app and follow the rules there, tough luck. It's not fair to the developers that don't make shovelware otherwise.

> If 80% of people making more than $100k a year use iPhones and Apple disappeared, the market segment of people making more than $100k a year wouldn't disappear.

Someone would step in and provide another walled garden with the same effect - because the consumer will want a better experience. Apple offers that experience. And if that means Shovelware 2.0 doesn't make it, well, let's be honest. It wasn't all that revolutionary.

In any case, crap apps would flood the market - consumers would get worse experiences, and be less likely to buy apps. Free apps will decimate quality applications. And you'll get the playstore or android, a malware infested UI nightmare.

Apple is the "big bad" now, make a crappy app that doesn't follow easy rules, it's Apple's fault. Yea, not buying it. 2,000,000 made it. It's not that restrictive.
A couple reasons come to mind:

1. Whoever pays the bill calls the tune. Meaning if someone wants charity, the giver is going to want to know that the recipient is going to spend it wisely, otherwise would be disinclined to give.

2. People in financial difficulty often consult with a planner to see how they can adjust their spending habits so they are more effective.
It is definitely often crowded, but what about it is "crazy dangerous?"

Inspired by a similar Reddit question here: https://www.reddit.com/r/startups/comments/hc7vqb/whats_a_big_trend_right_now_we_should_all_be/

Curious what ya'll think is a major trend right now that we should be following and tracking, that might be big in 3-5-10 years.
In my team if someone needs to pick up the kids he just says it in chat or even in a video meeting and gets them. I think webex meetings work better than real live ones. If they are tiring that's positive because meetings last too long. If only one person can speak at a time it prevents people from interrupting and makes them conscious not to hog the mic. Async communication? How would you do that? If you have a question and can't find an answer, what do you do? Make a jira user story to document this specific scenario and put yourself as the reporting too? Then assign to a colleague and hope he does something with it? I mean it could possibly work if everyone is accustomed to it, is of a very high level and is also a high level technical writer. But it just seems to me that in practice junior might be too dumb to understand seniors writing. Or senior just writes something that's not legible. Or senior ignores his new assigned story because junior created it and not the product owner. Or scrum master sees the story and thinks: that's not part of sprint goals and throws it out of the board. It seems really slow to work this way.
I've noticed the biggest difference between junior developers and more experienced individuals is their written communication abilities. This has led me down the path of trying to find resources to help teach communications to those that I mentor but since this isn't my area of expertise (teaching communications) I'd love if anybody had resources to share.

Odd, I've seen a pervasive belief that the wealthy did not gain their wealth through hard work/merit and either somehow stole it or inherited it. And I've also seen pervasive beliefs that the poor are only poor because of things such as: lack of education, evil capitalism, lack of opportunities, hunger, systemic issues, racism, etc.

Perhaps each group has some level of both and we shouldn't generalize to entire strata and population groups too much. Instead maybe we shouldn't be so quick to measure outcomes and just fix the problems. Instead we're using outcomes as a (I would argue) poor measure of how well we're fixing the problems we should be agreeing are problems on their own worth fixing. That's where a lot of the argument/debate gets lost, quibbling over correlations instead of just solving bad things.
> And when deciding whether to gift a low-income individual either a $100 grocery voucher or a $200 electronics voucher, only a quarter of participants went for the latter, even though it was worth twice as much. More than half said they would give a high-income individual the electronics voucher, however. “Paradoxically, the result was that participants effectively allocated more money to higher-income people than lower-income people,” the authors note.

This is a ridiculous contrived situation. $100 for a lower Maslow-level need or $200 for a higher level need? Why was giving $200 for the lower level need not an option? Maybe I'm missing the point here, but all this proves is that people are aware of Maslow's hierarchy.

When you create such strange scenarios, expect strange results. If a person struggling financially is servicing their higher level needs before their lower level needs are met, they deserve scrutiny.
This won't solve all your problems, but it _can_ be a big help to know what to search when you see a wall of symbols, and detexify.kirelabs.org is a decent resource for that -- you can draw a single symbol and get the latex code that would generate it.

Eh, I think most people are aware that the odds are long - imo a more apt comparison would be kids of the past dreaming about being pro athletes or rock stars.
Its useful to know _in general_ how this "free money" is spent. Its less useful to know on an individual basis. There are lots of "free" services that we all use, and very little individual scrutiny is placed on these things. Eg. Roads, airports.

Honestly, I don't think that segment really exists. The ones that would search that out will just as likely be on android as iPhone.

If 33% of such an app is enough to cause this much angst, it makes me think it just isn't that popular.
My point of about hard hitting stories was that NPR either doesn't have them or or when they do they remove the teeth by virtue of the perspective they choose.

Take this Wirecard NPR story, Matt owns the Shadowfall company which itself holds 500 million in assets[1]. His situation feels awful, and you should empathize with the man, but god after listening to NPR for several years you wonder why so many protagonists are millionaires.

Bringing up the Amazon-NPR story was just tying together where I think NPR especially fails: I don't think NPR lies, or even covers the wrong topics, they just cover them with an establishment centered perspective.

Take Amazon seasonal workers: why not cover how Amazon extracts huge wealth out of communities and in place gives jobs that pay little with littler benefits?

Take Wirecard story: perhaps short selling is an awful way to hold companies accountable and what we actually need is a SEC company with teeth.

Another favorite of mine which I think pulls it all together was during the passing of the Trump Tax Cuts. All Things Considered's lead story was that the cuts were good and just at the wrong time. I heard this during rush hour, so NPR prime time![2] During a time of great change in fiscal policy the radio station Trump supporters most loathe is out there politely questioning the timing of his decisions.

I have been using btfs for years so I can answer.

It can handle videos and other streamable formats if there are enough seeds: the connection is not usually a problem. The pieces are not downloaded strictly sequentially but using a sliding window[1], so if a piece is not immediately available btfs will not waste time and bandwidth waiting for it but just keep downloading other pieces nearby.

The problem is until enough pieces have been assembled, applications reading the file may literally hang: I guess not much software was made with slow I/O in mind.
