I find it hard to parse anything meaningful from your comment, sorry. I don’t mean to be rude, perhaps blunt.

Please name what infrastructure technology has lasted decades, I am curious to know. If you try hard enough yes you can see it’s all cyclical, you can say, MULTICS was the OG cloud. OK, fine, but what use is that to be as a practical software developer building things? Perhaps with age you start seeing everything as being like something you’ve already seen so it’s not that exciting anymore?
> Well yeah, but not every type system is equal. For example I vastly prefer Rust's type system to C's because of Options instead of null and enums as sum types.

Fair enough. But I'm not advocating using C here either.

There are type checked and interpreted languages.
If you are in America from Syria and have a dislike for America because of past bombings I would be more concerned with them over China.

This depends largely on the state, and whether it's a public or private school.

Because for some schools, it's all about that FTE (Full Time Equivalent, a measure of how many students are taking how many classes, and how some state schools get their chunk of funding.) And while FTE isn't directly related to attendance more State legislatures/University boards are combining the two and want to make sure that their funds are being spent wisely and students are actually in class.

Also accrediting bodies like to know that students are actually showing up as well.

So while taking attendance is silly for college students, it's not a waste of time or silly for the powers that be.

(I know this because my friends who teach are now being chastised if they don't keep daily attendance records.)
Mind you, the Vietnamese government went to war with the Khmer Rouge because the latter attacked Vietnam, not because the killing fields became unacceptable.
that's totally reasonable if that's the spec

I don't think you grok what's happening. Some middle manager sees a shade of red on his screen in a PDF, and the dev is expected to reproduce the content in that shade of red. There are simply too many variables.

Even if you have access to the PDF, the red will often be rendered differently by the browser than it is by the PDF engine.

I've had middle managers tell me to "fix" a web site because the colors looked different on his office CRT than it did on the laptop screen of a person in another building.

I'm not relieved. Or, only partially relieved.

One of the core arguments was that the Feds can't pull funds for their stated purpose, which was to encourage/force schools to open ("The government has provided no reason for its abrupt and unexplained shift. That is unsurprising, since... its purpose—as expressed by Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli—is to 'encourage schools to reopen.' In essence, Defendants are using the vulnerability of international students as leverage to force a broad reopening for reasons wholly disconnected from the underlying statute and regulation... Defendants have thus violated the APA by promulgating a policy based on factors which Congress has not intended it to consider.").

I think there's a good chance that the admin backed down here so that there's no pre-existing precedent implying (or explicitly stating) that they can't use purse strings and other extra-congressional-intent mechanisms to force K12 to open in August.
You are right, GPS alone doesn't. But it's augmented with both specialised maps (from the private companies you mentioned) and sensor data. Some self-driving cars use detailed 3D maps containing information about e.g. traffic light positions and have technology to read road signs and lights. Just like human drivers do.

I used to work for TomTom and at the time they were just getting into the self-driving cars sector. I don't know where they are with it now, but four years ago they were already building high-definition 3D maps for autonomous cars. And they had road sign reading technology.

You can see their HD 3D map in a video [1] where they also explain how it's constructed using their mapping vehicles.

EDIT: To make my point clear, we don't really need to invest in smart roads - the cars and the supporting tech are already smart enough.

But then you live on a yacht. Why not pull into a port with known good wifi and download what you want in bulk? Use your sat connection for email to keep in touch. Sneakernet the big things (movies, TV, games).

This is what life was like for me when I first got the internet back in the 90s. 14.4 dialup translated to around 1.5KB/sec. And I lived at home. I didn’t get to enjoy travelling the world in a yacht.

"Only if the service provider fails to comply with DPA decision can it face legal action."

That's not correct. Often DPAs are issuing corrective instruction prior to a fine, but not always, and there's nothing in the law that requires it.
There's 4 starlink earth stations in Washington state. The starlink r&d team and office is also based in Redmond.

1. Redmond office site

2. North bend, colocated with CenturyLink long haul fiber hut

3. Brewster, commercial teleport facility, as a tenant, larger site is run by USEI. This is also a TT&C (tracking, telemetry and control) site for starlink space segment network operations.

4. Prosser, also colocated with CenturyLink fiber huts.

It is also worth noting that one of the first major internet traffic exchange points which the starlink AS has joined is the SIX (Seattle internet exchange). It's my theory that their IP network and other common ISP-like infrastructure is the most fully developed in Seattle.

If you take a look at their peeringdb page it will give you an idea of where they're publicly announcing availability for peeing and PNIs. Presently only Seattle.

This argument is boring (because even if you were right, that's not what the public understands) but let's pretend it is not: so are you actually right?

It's debatable.

To fly a plane safely, you have to prioritize in the following order: aviate, navigate, communicate.

An autopilot takes care of the aviate part (under some conditions) - and even bits of navigate in some case, but this is probably an easier problem actually. It can warn you when it is disengaging, so you have to be available, but you don't have to monitor actively at all time and with your full focus (as-if you fly manually) that it is working correctly and be able to disengage it yourself.

Tesla "autopilot" does not take care of the aviate equivalent. It is believed so imperfect that you are supposed to stay extremely vigilant at all time, keep your hands on the wheel, look at the road as-if you were actually fully manually driving, and disengage it yourself if it attempts to kill you (or somebody else).

My own judgment is that it is not an autopilot, by the most common parallel possible (with the autopilot of a plane). And again, that's probably not even very important. If most of the public believe a car autopilot is supposed not only to "aviate"-equivalent perfectly, but maybe even navigate on top of that, then Tesla, not even having reached the first part fully, should be just careful a little and chose some other wording.

They don't, because they are completely playing on that. I found it even more than dishonest; I found it unethical.

Classic NEMA color coding is:

- Green - status OK.

- Yellow - status abnormal but does not require urgent attention.

- Red - you should be doing something about this. No red light should be on for long periods.

- Blue or white - on, no particular meaning.

This is still seen in industrial plants, often in the form of stacked cylindrical lights on a post on top of a machine. Anyone can look at the whole shop floor and see what needs attention.

LED color coding is

- Red - 1970s.

- Green - 1980s.

- Blue - 1990s.

- Color changing - 2000s.
Yeah, those rural customers are in the category "people with poor internet access" that I mentioned above - but I think that few people with fiber to the home are anxiously awaiting Starlink. That $200 gigabit plan is faster than I can get from Comcast (my only provider) not far from Seattle - the fastest they can provide to me is 600mbit, but with only about 15mbit upstream.

Starlink hasn't really revealed speeds, bandwidth caps, etc. Some tests claim they can provide gigabit speeds, but will have to wait and see what they can provide in real world usage.
Sounds like bad customer service to me

I guard my opinions very carefully, to the point one would be hard pressed to identify what political ideology I identify with (largely because I don't identify with any of them).

The other day on Twitter when the couple pointing guns at the protesters in Kentucky issue was trending, someone posited "I wonder what happens to people who don't have guns". So I posted a video of a couple who were dragged out of their shop and beaten, on video, and their shop destroyed.

I posted no words, no commentary, simply linked the video that is a real example of the answer to that question - and got called a racist in response.

People are actively seeking reasons to hate, these days, and for someone like me for whom the entire exercise seems silly, all I can do is sit back and stop participating.

Don't blame your stakeholders or customers. These are all just communication issues and common ones at that.

Unfortunately communication for software projects isn't often discussed or considered valuable in this community but you can learn it like anything else in tech.

The hardest language to learn is the one that communicates with people not computers.

The latency will be about 20ms higher than a terrestrial pure fiber based internet customer in the same location as the earth stations. For example whatever the latency is from the north bend WA site to downtown Seattle (a few milliseconds) plus 20ms. This is a considerable improvement over the absolute bare minimum rtt ping time on a Geostationary based VSAT which is 492ms.

There are a lot of terrestrial wireline last mile access technologies that already introduce 15-25ms latency on the last mile segment. Such as ADSL2+ on old POTS copper wiring or a heavily loaded docsis3 cable network. That is just from the home modem to the neighborhood's closest network node.

Your answer to everything I said is “actually, it’s not that hard without kubernetes”. Maybe it’s not for you. For most developers, it absolutely is. And that’s why kubernetes is popular.

Fads don’t form out of thin air. There’s always some value that they provide. To someone experienced with setting up infrastructure, the tasks may seem trivial, and the value add is low. For others who don’t, having a dead simple way of easily adding tooling around their applications is a godsend. Why is this so fucking hard for you to understand?

> We should simply allow political stances that have real harm to simply run amok with "debate"? Yeah, I'm kinda done with the "debate" idea. It's time to bring "consequence" to people's political stances.

At least you're open about your opposition to free speech. That's something I guess... In your mind, are your political cohorts always going to wield the power to cancel or can you imagine a world in which the far right wing holds that power and persecutes you and yours for your views based on the same arguments you make above? In the latter case, do you think you would hold to your views on free speech? Why or why not?

This seems... spurious. Granting IPO stocks on IPO day is beneficial if the stock goes up, and "detrimental" if the stock goes down from the initial price instead, which is what happened with Uber.

The article makes it look like Uber tried to short change employees, but if the stock had rocketed up, they would have saved employees a ton of money in taxes because the gain from IPO price to the price when the lock-up expired would have been taxed as capital gains.

They also make it looks like these people are all making pennies because the stock didn't do well, which we all know is obviously not the case (especially if they are engineers).

Side note: when people bash ISOs because they are evil or something, I just think of tax implications like this. This wouldn't happen if they were options instead of RSUs.

Last year’s Gartner report concluded that less than 10% of cloud computing workloads were running in public clouds. With respect to technology, most of the companies of the world are consistently living 20+ years in the past.

I remember this kind of thing from days gone by with coffeescript, and the absolute hell it caused. It may have been made worse by js being callback-heavy, but assuming I had a function:

def bob(cb, *args):
do some stuff...

Then the call:

bob somefn, 2, 3

Works. But I remember having hellish times tracking down issues when you missed a single comma.

bob somefn 2, 3

Now you have bob being passed the result of evaluating the callback (early) with 2, 3 - and this is discovered at runtime. Ugh!

The "Consumer Records" category of data includes things like name and credit card number. So if doom eternal wants to be able to sell DLCs (a perfectly legitimate and not privacy invasive business model) then they also have to disclose that they may collector medical records.
