Did you watch the full Axios interview with Swan and what were your thoughts on it?
>the plans are to launch some thousand more satellites

1000 more in that shell, but overall 11,578 more satellites (most of them lower than the current shell). Their target number is 12,000 satellites, with possible expansion to 42,000 (!!)

The sheer scale boggles the mind
It doesn't sound that miraculous tbh
You're glossing over my question. If Germany was more heterogeneous, with more political conflict between groups, would folks in Germany be trying such measures?
We don't know much about the construction of the Cybertruck. But one would assume that the center part of the body gives the structural integrety, while the outer parts are the crash and crumple zones. This should make the Cybertruck repairable, especially as it is just steel and no aluminium involved.
Yeah, but if there was a massive dry fuel load in the California mountains caused by a hundred years of poorly informed forest management strategy, and some hypothetical electrical utility sparked & burned it all down, then you do blame the spark!

Broken Hearts and Coffee Mugs – The ordeal of security reviews
There are less expensive ways to get the social experience of college.

My husband and I both worked our way through college. I didn't get the social experience at school. There is nothing like working for your degree to keep you laser focused on the reason why you are going to college.

We were both reasonably paid for working class jobs as he was a machinist and I was an electronic technician. Post graduate was so much better - he in mechanical engineering and I in software engineering.

Most of our socialization came on the job. We were both lucky enough to work for great companies with wonderful people.
By eBike I mean an actual bicycle with an electric motor and a battery. So I do get the breeze and it helps keep me cool with it is over 100 degrees here.
Although since I wrote that comment the eBike battery was not charging and I had to take the whole thing in to the shop to get them to look at it.
It's more important to identify as a voter than it is to just vote.
I've read numerous articles and although it seems lots of people knew the situation was dangerous and lots of letters flew back and forth, I'm still not clear on who had jurisdiction or failed to take action. The Port Authority? The courts? The Army? The General Directorate of State Security?

This Reuters article is maddening, but it hits much closer to the truth than all the pointless "welding is dangerous" threads going on right now around us:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-lebanon-security-blast-do...

The hypothesis I tend to reach for is a general lack of "good government", originating because the factional tension in Lebanon completely overshadows any other political differentiation. The factions can't compete on competence because votes are locked in by group identity.
This was really great. It's how I was taught entropy at college (biophysics and molecular biology) though without the sheep. "Statistical Mechanics" was the name our professor used.

The only tiny change I'd like to make is to add a line or two near the end, something along the following lines:

There's a lot fewer ways to arrange water molecules so that they form an ice cube than there are to arrange them as a liquid. Most arrangements of water molecules look like a liquid, and so that's the likely endpoint even if they start arranged as an ice cube.

The same is true of more or less any macroscopic object: the thing that we recognize and name ("chair", "table", "pen", "apple") requires the atoms to remain in one of a fairly small set of particular arrangements. Compared to the vast number of other arrangements of the same atoms ("dust"), the ones where the atoms form the "thing" are quite unlikely. Hence over time it's more likely that we'll find the atoms in one of the other ("random", or "dust-like") arrangements than the one we have a name for. The reason things "fall apart" isn't that there's some sort of preference for it - it's that there are vastly more ways for atoms to be in a "fallen apart" state than arranged as a "thing".
I wonder how bookmarking and auto-complete work with signed exchanges. I don't think they could ever remove the URL completely because it conflicts with their extortion scheme for AdWords where they'll sell your trademarked words to the highest bidder.

What happens if Chrome shows no URL and Google sells the AdWord for your bank's name to a malicious actor? That's a huge liability can of worms IMO.

I'm not sure the signed exchanges are all bad either. I'd rather have visitors seeing example.com than example.google.com/amp/ or google.com/amp/example.com. Isn't it better for your brand to be in the URL and bookmarks / auto-complete to go to your domain (assuming it works like that)?

I'm not convinced the whole web identity push is 100% bad. I don't trust Google, but as a general concept I think there's some technical merit in the idea.
> Not to speak badly about Lebanese welders,

The article states that the welders were Syrian. I am guessing they are refugees just trying to get by. Even assuming they were well trained and safety minded, it's reasonable to assume they did not have the power to tell their bosses, "this is unsafe so we're not gonna do it."

I am not going to reject outright the possibility of some nefarious plot, but corruption and bureaucratic incompetence explain all of the facts perfectly.

Luck plays a huge role in our lives.

Thanks for your comment. This algorithm keeps the best candidates through every generation.
It's disingenuous to not acknowledge the Republican argument that this is about preventing voter fraud. The Democrat argument is of course, that Republicans are actually trying to disenfranchise actual voters.

Either way, this last minute effort to expand mail in voting may not be fraudulent, but it's way too easy to allege fraud, and results will simply take too long to be tallied for anyone to actually trust the election.

The legitimacy of an institution is oftentimes equally backed by the perceptions of trust and respect of that institution as much as it is backed by the actual functionality of that institution.

Regardless of who you back or how much you trust the authenticity of vote by mail, too many people do not trust the other side to not cheat. And even if you assume we live in a world where voter fraud isn't possible for vote by mail, the veracity of the election can be attacked with little effort.

Imagine we're two or three weeks into November and still counting votes. A rogue actor prints tens of thousands of fake ballots. They don't need to actually count them, they just nee to make it public- "hey we found a bunch of lost (party of your choice) ballots!". That's what's scary to me. Suddenly, no one has faith that the other side didn't cheat. If I were Xi(China)- this is exactly what I'd be doing right now. It'd be laughably easy for a foreign state actor to absolutely destroy our faith in the election process right now.
Thank you for your kind words. The hospital's psychiatry department already setup a nearby clinic for free support to all healthcare workers.
> If Epic wants a platform, they can build one, and it will take a similar amount of work to what it took Apple.

They can't build a sales platform on the iPhone if Apple won't give them the opportunity on the iPhone.
Many Arm SBCs that support linux boot very quickly[1]; if you set "init" to be a python interpreter, you'd be pretty close to that.

1: I mean they handoff to linux quickly; actually running a full set of init for linux can be painfully slow, but if you just want a REPL then that should be fast.
I get your point about the asymptote, but I should have clarified: I was synthesizing two rules, "entropy always increases" and "matter cannot be created or destroyed"

Beyond that, metaphysically, how does something increase without having an origin? "Everything just always was" seems to conveniently handwave away a very important line of inquiry. This line of inquiry might be uncomfortably close to religious thought, but that shouldn't be a reason to terminate it.

As time goes on, we are able to explain more and more things scientifically, and yet, arbitrarily, we are supposed to be satisfied with "energy and matter were just always there, any other explanation is arbitrarily religious" without a sense of irony. That belief is held onto with religious conviction, sometimes used to dismiss alternate ideas with religious fervor, and backed with a religious rather than scientific standard of evidence.

Here's a premise for a (maybe horrible) book idea: God manipulates the minds of top scientists so that they do not definitively prove his existence, which would ruin the point of his simulation. Each time they get close, he finds an idiosyncratic way to make them forget about it or dismiss the idea. The people who discover God's tricks get brownie points in the afterlife. The people who discover God's tricks but try to publicize them, hence ruining the illusion, get...taken care of. Perhaps you can say the entropy of their body would increase.
I'm confused, so reasonml is now rescript?
Respectfully, there are a couple examples of loaded-ness in your original comment.

>> Clinton's de-endorsement was probably not genuine

From the article you linked, this is what she said "Although Clinton had traveled the world in support of TPP as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state, she told the “PBS Newshour” that the final agreement didn’t meet the “high bar” she set for the pact."

Sounds like she still liked the idea, but the agreement wasnt to her liking.

>>My main point is that an issue that was popular on the left (enough for Clinton to flip-flop on) seems to now be mostly the voices of the left criticizing the withdraw.

Again, if more info came out and people changed their mind, you seem to be villifying it and declaring it a "left" problem. (which it may be, but you're asserting with an anecdote on what you've noticed)

I also want to mention about how Factorio developers have been continuously blogging their weekly updates, FFF - Friday Factorio Facts throughout the development. They’re really interesting and show how the game evolved and it’s history.
It should be fine unless a helicopter hovers over your dish, wind makes your dish unstable, the satellite reaches end of life, weather affects your frequency(rain/fog/snow), or predicted sun spots occur.

The price may be concerning if we compare to the current offers of competition. There are caps and bandwidth limitations. Satellite time is expensive.
Linux Mint put in an apt rule to avoid it installing as a dependency of other apps. This decision was triggered by Canonical's announcement to stop maintaining the Chromium deb package. Linux Mint was pissed they had to either switch to the Debian version or to the Snap, so they made some fuss.

I know of at least three Ubuntu derivatives who have Snap preinstalled and every snap I maintain has between 5% and 10% non-Ubuntu users.

> On any distro that doesn't run apparmor, the snap sandbox doesn't work, for example. That's not something you would use outside of experiments.

Given that every AppArmor thing Snap needs is in the upstream kernel, any distribution with a fairly recent kernel an userspace has full confinement. The main limitation is that Snap can't run when SELinux is running at the same time. Canonical is working with a bunch of other people on LSM stacking in order to make that work.

> That's not something you would use outside of experiments.

That might not be something you use outside of experiments, but don't generalize statements like that.
modriano says>After heading on, I ignorantly wondered what that was about as there was no legal basis for it, and my friend asked if I seriously didn't see that the cop just thought it was strange and possibly a sign of trouble/distress that me, a bookish white young man was driving with a Black young man. I couldn't see that in the moment, but in retrospect it was obvious.<

But it was not obvious!

There are many alternative explanations for what happened. I suggest that you create a list of alternative explanations as an exercise; there are an infinite number of them. This will allow you to admit that you really do not know why the police officer stopped you!

You accept your friend's explanation as if it were the only one that makes sense! Consequently everything that follows from your friend's explanation is likely flawed. I would ask that you reconsider and learn to leave final explanations indefinite. Part of life is not knowing.

I see futile efforts by people trying to understand others all the time. They concoct explanations that shatter under the slightest scrutiny. Even the brightest people fall prey to the belief they can explain others' actions w/o at least asking that person (sometimes worthwhile, but also often misleading!).

Wrong and/or unsupported explanations are assumptions and have an effect: they fix thinking along a path that is likely wrong. Learning to live with "I don't know." will allow you to think more clearly without incorrect assumptions and also more clearly reveal the limits of your knowledge, showing it to be far more limited than one might wish to admit.

It's the SUM of the pieces that point to Google's endgame, not the individual pieces themselves.

I have an idea.

Move forward with signed exchanges, and then prohibit them from being used to obscure the content source (more specifically, require the 3rd party to reveal themselves)
I think one of the greatest swindles in American politics is the redefinition of "freedom" to only mean freedom from the government's interference. As long as the government doesn't send troops to block you from voting, it satisfies their sense of righteousness - it doesn't matter if some people have to stand in line for five hours to vote, because (in this world view) the government has no obligation to actually make the "freedom" practical. In a perversion of language, it's now called "entitlement".

Reminds me of the famous quote: "In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread."
That is true in steel, but not aluminum.

Because of how thermally conductive it is it doesn't work the same way.
In retrospect they should’ve sold the AN to farmers and then fought over who gets the money.
The reaction to his election traumatized me. For the first time in my life I felt like a foreigner in my own country.

I disagree with most of his policy positions. His tax cut was too small, his insistence on opening the public schools is baffling to me given how the public school system manufactures his opposition. He was never able to build the wall, although I expected that. Ultimately I can work with my disagreements with him and the right more broadly. There is room for compromise there.

But watching the left since 2016 and especially recently after the death of George Floyd, policy matters don't concern me much anymore. I'm afraid of the left. I feel intimidated by their vast cultural and social power. And I'm going to vote for someone that unapologetically opposes them.

I know that doesn't really answer your question as you asked it. But there it is anyway.
Out of curiosity, how many devs does your org have? I think a lot of the disagreements here come from people at orgs with 3 developers talking to people at orgs with 30,000.
I think you've identified some meaningful next steps to try after highlighting that the origin is the most significant part of the URL. Maybe the omnibox space can show the page title?
Economies of scale work massively in your favor in this situation. You definitely do not need to sell the bandwidth 1:1, and the more customers you aggregate the more you can oversell. With 1gbps upstream bandwidth you can comfortably provide 1000 customers with 10mbps Internet service and they will virtually never see speeds lower than 10mbps.

Yeah any president would have done this. To be honest it's prob standard procedure, not even sure why it's news other than that it sounds sensational.
Trust me... I understand how important the presidential is. My point was that politics in the US rolls uphill. You have a much bigger impact on local elections than on federal elections. That one vote has a bigger impact than on trying to change that one senate seat.

Yep. All of it is just emergent shorthand, and none of it makes literal sense. :) If we had some specifically correct terminology, it would likely be quite a mouthful, either including genetic terminology or some mix of geography and time period, but both of those would probably still be insufficient. Race basically doesn't really exist in any clean delineation.

Your math assumes all 100 million customers will be downloading at 10Mbps at the same time, all the time. Obviously that is not the case.
I have a bad news for you, recently I was interested in how could I write a good QML/Kirigami based ebook reader and looked at all the existing Linux epub reader and each one was using a webview for the epub rendering. But they usually try to integrate better with the rest of the app and your DE so you just don't see it.

EDIT: the only epub reader I know that doesn't use a webview is Okular and the rendering using QTextDocument basic html support is horrible.
I most definitely have mixed feelings about it. Granted, I wasn't diagnosed until my mid-30s, and I like to think I accumulated a respectable pile of life accomplishments beforehand (along with some dramatic failures) so I have a pretty thorough understanding of my own performance baseline. By the time I had a career and family, my problem was no longer failing to be productive, but rather failing to be productive at the right things at the right times. The modern world is built around consistency, planning and schedules and these things cause major problems for me, as for most of us with ADHD.

Stimulants (Vyvanse in my case) are blunt instruments; they alleviate the specific behavioral problems that plague those of us with ADHD but also enhance performance in general. The biggest danger that I see in my own behavior is the tendency to forget about all the self-management practices I learned before my diagnosis. With stimulants, you can do irresponsible things like stay up late for no good reason, get four hours of sleep, and still be fairly productive once the medication kicks in. I have to be really honest with myself on a daily basis about whether I'm using it to overcome a deficit caused by ADHD, or a deficit caused by bad behavior.

The second biggest danger is developing unrealistic expectations about what I am capable of accomplishing. For example, I am currently pursuing a PhD in computer science, and the decision to do so was made by the medicated version of myself. I don't regret the decision one iota, and it's a goal I've had for many years, but I already had a long list of projects and goals when I signed up for this and I definitely deluded myself about just how many of those other commitments I'd have to set aside for a while (or forever) in order to get a PhD.
I mean, you're not wrong, VDSL in rural areas would be great! But it also hasn't happened.

> It seems like if things keep going this way, Safari also would inevitably end up rebasing Safari onto Blink too (with their strategic changes).

I'm not sure about that. WebKit is lagging slightly behind Blink (and Gecko to lesser degree), but I don't think it bothers Apple. Budget to develop WebKit is for Apple hardly a problem as well.

Having independent browser engine gives them quite a lot of strategic power given their exclusive market share. Look no further than how they managed to single-handedly kill PWAs few months ago since it does not fit into their strategic goals (all apps must go through app store).
Nvidia should stop fooling around and support Nouveau. Their dinosaur blob driver approach is not something anyone needs.
No. go away
Ansible is a good choice for maintaining the k8s infra itself, but IMO is not good at maintaining hardware or managing containers.

The major problem with Ansible compared to container orchestrators is that Ansible has no concept of previously known state. It makes some things that are easy in Terraform (deletions) more difficult, as you have to write a new playbook to delete stuff. So can't say, "I don't want to run this nginx container on this host anymore" by just removing that host from the part of your inventory that gets nginx, or removing nginx from that hosts playbook. You have to explicitly remove it.

This is not a huge problem if you're into immutable infrastructure, where you just wipe any host and redeploy, as it lets you go from known state to known state reliably. This kind of relgates Ansible to yaml shell scripts, but it's generally a lot tidier and gives you a nice framework for knowing where you are in your script.

When trying to apply Ansible to more infrastructure related stuff, again, it can do it, but's not the right tool. You can write a playbook to deploy a host or scale your EC2, but you basically have to do that separate from the provisioning of the hosts you just deployed.

For container orchestration, I found Ansible more of a hinderance than a help. Ansible is very imperative, and most orchestration tools are deliberately declarative. There's no particular reason to use it to deploy, scale, delete basically anything in k8s or swarm, as there is very little value add over using the tools themselves.

Overall I find Ansible best suited to building the containers or vms that you will run on your cluster, as these are necessarily imperative steps that fit it well. This also applies to the hosts that make up your cluster, if you aren't able to prepare an immutable image for them or get them to auto join.
