Amazon to invest $10B+ in satellite network after receiving FCC authorization
Tesla's stock price makes zero sense in any plausible scenario. I understand the narrative, but unless Tesla becomes the only car company on the planet, it can't be worth 10x Ford
Points

The FCC declared on Thursday that Amazon may build its ambitious satellite internet system, which would compete with SpaceX’s Starlink network.
Amazon’s project, known as Kuiper, would see the company launch 3,236 satellites into low Earth orbit.
After the FCC announced the authorization, Amazon said that it “will invest more than $10 billion” into Kuiper.
From the post "The key, he says, is using the right transaction identifiers so that calls can be traced across components, services, and queues".

I think this is a key feature not many people implement especially in today's world of over blown micro services, having a transaction id from the time the request hits the reverse-proxy till the database write is so helpful in debugging, saves a ton of time.
Well, that phone from a different company will have to run another OS, because no Android vendor will help with the kind of problems I'm describing.

Also, do you _really_ suggest that running a persistent ssh session in a terminal or a VPN connection is a 'hacker' activity that should require flashing a phone with a custom build of an OS? Uh-oh.
That's definitely a mistake on the store's part and should have been a quick return / swap for you.

What generally happens is: (1) associate is dispatched to pick an online order, listed by SKU and bring it up front, (2) they arrive at the bay and start looking around for a match, (3) while they are supposed to verify down to the SKU level, sometimes they say "DeWalt 20V circular saw" = "DeWalt 20V circular saw", grab it, and move on, (4) repeat for the next order.

That's assuming there's stock in the store. In the event it's Ship-to-Store, you add the additional touch of warehouse getting it right. Although in my experience that rarely goes wrong (because automatic verification, etc as things go out).

I always do a SKU / item check if there's anything that might be a problem. In my personal experience, it happens ~1:50 orders (usually with easily confusable substitutions).
That looks horrible on desktop. Images on far right while the title on far left.
Colleges have become massive businesses whose purpose is to jam kids through to graduation (thus maximize tuition fees). Most kids don't really want to be there. Both parties are incentivized to "get through it". When a large number of young people have degrees obtained this way, is it any wonder the value is diminished?

It's a shame, because I loved (and continue to love) higher education.
Wow go redfox
Yeah I guess you're right, it could be like an exploit chain where 1 link in the chain is phishing to gain access to something and xss is the next link for lateral movement.

But I don't know what "The right kind of xss vulnerability would enable them to bypass 2fa too" means. If the attacker doesn't have 2FA I would think the attacker can't log in, thus meaning the first link of the chain has no purpose.

But I also think XSS in this case is not very likely. From interviews with the attackers it sounds like they're social engineering experts who hang out on social engineering forums, not XSS experts[1][2][3].

I learned that the proper way to type is with your hands floating above the keyboard, and resting your hands on a wrist rest when not typing. I don't always do it, but when I do, the height of the keyboard relative to the table becomes irrelevant, instead it's more about height of keys relative to my shoulders and maintaining right angled elbows.

Also, to me the Moonlander keyboard and its keycaps do not seem particularly tall.

I remember back when the music business thought that pirated music would ruin them and forced governments to put an extra tax on blank cassettes and CDs.

Seems like it's based on the same concept. Newspapers are loosing readers and they are blaming google and facebook.

Fair enough! I didn't comprehend the context well enough. Seems right though, the Yubikey won't protect sessions. At least I don't see any reason it would.
I'm fairly sure I know someone who's unipolar BP type II, and while sometimes they can be very depressed or fatigued, the vast majority of the time they have absolutely mind boggling stamina for challenge. They constantly read, think, plan, experiment, and just get stuff done. When combined with a work ethic and intelligence, they manage to somehow pull off remarkable feats on a daily basis. It's not at all surprising to consider that they'd be extremely successful at starting a business, if that was what they chose to do.

They're almost like the guy from Limitless, when they put their mind to something it just happens like magic. Of course, they rarely stay focused on anything for too long, so starting a business they'd likely feel too trapped. They're always eyeing the exits, because they're so restless and need freedom like we need air.

This makes sense to me, every change from the average comes with corresponding pros and cons. The same traits in an office that make someone successful in business might not translate to a survival situation, etc.

In their case, I'd say it mostly comes out in the wash. They do decently well at work, but don't commit well to bigger projects, and they don't finish projects well.
Thanks! Probably something Beatles too, not least of all to honour Liverpool's hatred with the fury of a thousand suns of The Sun.
Maybe I'm a bit silly about this, but can't linear or affine types be actually useful for blockchain? To represent something which can be used (spent) only once?
>Apprentices start working one day a week and going to school four. They end up working four days a week and going to school one.

It's brilliant. And is there any profession that can't be done this way?
You are right.

But ....

In the wild, database constraints are rare. I even often see databases without any foreign key constraint.

We have a new client like that. application developed in the past 3 years on postgres, uses all the buzzwords (microservices, Kubernetes, terraform, ...). The only constraints in database is on primary keys. The site moves up to 500k EUR per day.

This is far from rare.

Life is a long haul ride, requires a lot of things to get through it well. College education is obviously one part of it.

It would help people to realize any thing one does has an expiry date to it. This is why you need to have a system to remain consistent at some broad goals. Things like good eating, exercise, personal finance, relationships, reading and learning have to be done consistently, and have to be done throughout your life. You won't be good at life, if you don't do some of things regardless of the age, and place you are in.

The loss is in assuming College Degree as an aristocratic right. If you think this way you will soon realize there is nothing special about reading a few books between ages 18 - 22 and doing no learning after that for decades.

To me primary purpose of education is initiation. College degree should be treated as a good head start as an initiation. Nothing more, Nothing less.
Neat! If you're interested in this kind of thing, I recommend also checking out the Kinesis Advantage.
The four years I spent at my university were four of the best years of my life. I grew academically, socially, and career-wise in ways I just never would have without going to school. However, I have plenty of friends that never went to any higher education than high school, or who dropped out of college early on, and it's not like they're unsuccessful or maladjusted. It seems pretty clear that different paths work for different people.
This looks really useful! Not sure how it would handle business rules and callbacks, but these days I'm doing much of that directly in the database anyways after years of fighting inconsistencies at the application level (Rails, cough cough).

For admin type dashboards that need customization I've been using Hasura + React Admin (nice replacement for Rails ActiveAdmin). Combine Hasura (automatic GraphQL on top of PostgreSQL) with React Admin (low code CRUD apps) and you can build an entire back office admin suite or form app (API endpoints and admin front end) in a matter of hours.

This adaptor connects react-admin with Hasura: https://github.com/Steams/ra-data-hasura-graphql
What prevents you from just using maps and lists in Java? Nobody forces you to deserialise JSON into domain model objects.
That's not what I meant. Obviously someone who really likes developing software is likely to make it their job if it's possible, hence the current non-professional developers are not representative of those in a world where there were no software development jobs.

I meant the best software is written without expectation of remuneration.
The GPT-2 based Musenet music generator is already interesting but far from perfect. You can try it in the middle of this article:
https://openai.com/blog/musenet/
(you can even upload custom prompts in the advanced mode)
Would be interesting to see it with the updated GPT-3.

There is also AIVA with more production ready results:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzGkC_o9hXI&list=PLv7BOfa4Cx...

Not sure how it works, but it has better results maybe because it's using more predefined components and less AI so it's also less "creative".

There are many more variants depending on how much complexity you are trying to apply. If you need to apply machine learning models, for example, you're probably going to end up with something similar to Apache Storm, though I don't know if it's operational story has improved enough to consider it over other alternatives, I lost track years ago between Apache Spark and the half dozen other stream processing projects.
If there were some guarantee UBI money couldn't be garnished, could that help the situation?
Yea, but anyone that owns a small business understands how you hide profit so you get taxed less.

Given how quickly and easily the axe comes down on sub par Google products, I highly doubt they'd keep YouTube if it wasn't profitable.
Controlled Digital Lending is a well established term meaning one physical copy for each copy digitally lent. This lent more than the physical copies, so it was “not controlled digital lending”. There is little linguistic difference between “not controlled” which is awkward and “uncontrolled.”

Uncontrolled does not have to mean zero restraints. The word never meant that. Especially in a well defined context where controlled has precise meaning (and that meaning is not “every constraint”). Neither word need mean the absolute extreme.

This is not NewSpeak.
Its good to remind yourself you are not the smartest person in the room.
The article spends a little time, in the middle on the headline assertion
"College does not guarantee Happiness"

But spends more time on an anecdote about the author's son to demonstrate that "Happiness is possible without College", which is a different matter entirely. And one would hope the latter is true, since 2/3 of the US population does not attend college.
> someone shouldn’t have to work 10%, 20%, or 100% harder to achieve the same outcomes

This will never stop happening, no matter how hard you try. Do you seriously believe that someone with 30 years of experience should work as hard as someone who is doing it for the first time ? That just doesn't make sense.
Ask HN: How do you interview during a pandemic?
I’ve been interviewing over the past month and I genuinely can’t focus on interviews.

As a father of 2, displaced into my in-laws home, and paranoid about the pandemic/future, I get very disenchanted in the middle of interviews. It’s as if my brain shuts down useless questions about optimizing conversion rates, explaining how multi armed bandit tests vs. simple A/B tests are better to optimize profits...etc. Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t muster the strength nor time to keep preparing to answer questions that are not important right now.
Is it really true that, in the US, many college students don't want to be there but go nonetheless, despite having to pay absurd amounts of money?
Where I study, uni is basically free, and I've met very few people in my degree who don't want to be there.
This seems absurd to me.
You are correct, and this is the key part - what % of organizations have money, skills and people to build a robust enough capability around threat hunting, for example?

I’ve been super lucky to meet various orgs and their security in all geographies and many industries and my gut feeling is 1 out of 10 teams.
“Conservative” is consistently used to describe the right-wing party in a two-party system. It’s not a coherent ideology.

The right wing tendency is a reactionary response to this kind of activism.

A few percent of people believe themselves to be superior due to race. Some people will always be like that but it was certainly a less and less prominent political orientation.

But the conquest for more state control, against freedom of expression, against open dialogue put more and more people against activists. I don't think there is anything more to it and overall pretty simple.

There are people making millions with esoteric bias training which are basically just bullshit jobs that certainly don't improve understanding. This industry needs a constant supply of racism.
Then we start wondering why everybody has stopped using the app all of a sudden.
I fully agree. One other good point with paid software is that is more long term. It will be supported as long as there is money involved.

Just look at the JS ecosystem. Everything is for free. But also shitloads of crap. A lot of libraries left unmaintained.

Large technology companies are creating large market failures, one of which is the erosion of the print media business model. With Facebook and Google favouring trending content over high value content state intervention is probably necessary to save the industry.

Controlled does not mean every possible constraint.

Uncontrolled does not mean zero constraints whatsoever.

Especially when used in opposition to the precisely defined phrase Controlled Digital Lending, where controlled is a well defined set of constraints.

If the system fails, and consequently newspapers fail, while tech companies thrive, how will that demonstrate to newspaper CEOs that big tech isn’t stealing their revenue?
I'll just take the occasion to reference the works of W. Brian Arthur and Paul A. David on path dependence, increasing returns and lock-in where they model the situations where technological artifacts come to dominance, often not out of their intrinsic values but because of extrinsic factors. So, why is there no widely accepted language progress? Maybe because the situation is locked-in.
Well, it did back in the 18th century when the left/right split was first named and well into the 19th - it represented the split between monarchists and opponents in the French assembly after the revolution, and so the liberals made up most of the original left.

You see the after-effects in e.g. Norway, where the liberal party is literally named "Venstre" ("Left")

It's just that most places the liberals have been firmly out-flanked on the left since.

Does it follow that you see basically no value in community colleges and other "low-prestige" public institutions whose participants are predominantly from outside of any aspirationally-aristocratic subculture?
For me, trying one of the different paths before me was much better than all the coaching, counselling and mentoring I did before trying.

I have a flair for decision making, and getting older it felt like I needed to move away from programming in order to process in my career. So I got into first architecture and project management later into actual management along with a several university courses toward a master in IT management. Turned out I just really like coding, and I went back to doing that.

I remember that I had one mentor tell me I wouldn’t like management, and I really should have listened. But everyone else, especially coaches were more interested in making me make it happen, which was fine, and it wasn’t until I actually did it I realised what I actually wanted to do. None of what I did hurt me though, all of it had positive impacts in my life, so my advice is to go for it, and if starting with a coach is what you need to do first, then start there and see what happens.
These news organisations should pay twitter every time they source a story from there.

Hopefully it would stop journos from writting such gripping stories as "According to some blowhard on twitter...", "These is my opinions, and to back it up here are three people on twitter who agree with me,...", "Twitter was OUTRAGED by...

Tbh, it seems like the author does not understand the basic principles of economics and history of economics.

The core problem regarding UBI is the fact that throwing such amounts of money to economy will create an enormous inflation, which will basically mean we would only improve our well being by margin, since more money won't let us buy more goods.

Furthermore, the ones that will benefit most from UBI are those, who have reached en equilibrium, meaning they will generate even bigger profits without investing more money. As the author states - we need to have more money, so that we could consume more, but in the end, the ones that end up with more money are the top 0.01%.
