Any idea how one would find hardware documentation? I have an old "small" mainframe and I'm curious about some of the hardware (backplanes, connector pin outs, etc) but after dozens of hours spent searching, I only found an SSA pinout by a curious hardware engineer.

I agree with what you say here. If they are pretty close, I don't think anyone will care much, though perhaps a lawsuit or two by competitors to give their lawyers something to do wouldn't be unfounded :)

But if they are way off, if they only launch 120 sats, instead of the 1,618 they need to launch, I expect even the FCC would rake them over the coals some. If SpaceX is the only provider that met their timeline with the FCC(which seems more and more likely as time goes by that they will be the only one), they will still probably be lenient, but I imagine they will get a stern talking to, about hurrying up!

Not sure what you have written has to do with what I said. I did not address the overall merits of Starlink vs Kuiper just the ground station aspect of the developing services.
> On the other hand, a reason can convince people, while a policy can be avoided, worked around or ignored while creating zero feelings of guilt.

Though, I'd imagine that, in many cases, adding reasons would turn a policy pamphlet into a textbook.

This seems like one of those areas where there are unavoidable tradeoffs:

* clear, concise, and rigid policies are easy to communicate and enforce, but frustrate people with better ideas.

* clear, concise, and flexible polices invite a lot of noise from people who think they know more than they do (e.g. can I use my own custom password hash I invented? It has more bits so it must be more secure.). Enforcement is also harder, since now you have to track exceptions.

* policy reasoning is harder to communicate, may never get read, and may actually discourage reading the policy.

I think that makes total sense in terms of coming up with a solution to a specific objective.

However, since antibiotic resistance, and treatment of diseases in general (COVID, for example) is a moving target - it would be nice to have machinery in place for solving these problems as they come.

Regarding political funding, that's a whole different problem in itself.

The issue is that the energy absorbed is literally too low to do anything. We're talking about heating your body up by 0.1 of a centigrade, so little that it is only visible when using extremely sensitive equipment in lab controlled conditions.

I'd worry more about standard heat given off by devices like laptops. The radio emissions aren't gonna do much but the 80C hot air out of the exhaust blowing into your lap is definitely going to do something. There is plenty of studies on the effects of overheating genitals in males.

But back to the topic; the energy is too small. If these radio waves had an effect, being out during a cloudy day would. The energy you get from solar radiation over a day is probably about the same.

Things like DNA breaking apart don't generally happen with this low frequency, largely because they require a bunch of energy to happen. Like ionization, even 1000W of 100MHz radio waves aren't going to make it happen. There is no amount of energy you can dump into a 100MHz transceiver that would cause ionization of atoms. It simply won't happen. Well, they will ionize but not because of the radio waves but because they've heated up enough that they're starting to undergo plasma formation. But that semantic difference is still important.

The sender in your cellphone or the energy you get from your wifi router are too small to be measured and by all acounts of physics, their effects are too small to be reasonably measured even in long term studies. We're talking literaly sub-milliwatt over your entire body. The entire body uses atleast 100Watts to stay alive. <0.1% change in thermal energy.
I live outside of Boston/Cambridge so I've been more tempted over the years and I do like visiting. But the prices have managed to continuously outpace my appetite for having a place in town. I will keep my eye on the market as the current situation plays out but I don't really expect a major drop; there wasn't in 2008.
Any thoughts on distilling it or pruning to make it smaller ?

By that number you mean that 2 in 10000 buildings fail at some point due to some design issue? Because building reliability is a very hard concept to define, even more in the context of machine reliability (we are discussing robots here).

Anyway, machine reliability is calculated over usage, not lifetime. It gets much larger numbers.
Presumably there is, but wonder the same thing.

SpaceX makes most of their launches from communication satellites (including the investor funded Starlink). The money from NASA International Space Station re-supply (crew and cargo), GPS and NRO satellites is a fraction of what they earn selling launches to the civilian space industry.

It is kind of amusing that they are so aggressively pushing their mobile apps when prior to april 2016, they didn't even have official mobile apps. Probably shows the differences in strategies before and after the acquisition. For me, when I am clicking on browser search results that bring me to reddit, I almost never want to switch to the mobile app. It breaks my flow. If i do not find what I am looking for in the reddit post, I need to switch apps back to the browser app instead of just tapping the browser back button.

Tangential annoyance: the youtube app attempting to have me sign up for some premium service _every time_ i use the app is frustrating.
I don't want the trend of browser-as-operating-system to continue.

Aside from the shabby technological issues involved, the applications themselves these pseudo OS features are put to generally are opposed to some of the things I value highly: privacy and stability, for example. Most applications don't need a social component or to harass me to re-engage, to utilize hardware or other software services on my device, or even to export/share data with other applications.

As far as the technology itself: the platform is generally a terrible technology for even the dubious purposes it is usually put. It's clunky, and even with things like wasm the development story for the platform is, at best, terrible. Also, in my experience, the quality of development in the web sphere is generally (not always) poor compared to similarly complex projects in other areas/applications.
Why do trials cost so much?

It would seem like testing on 100-1000 people spending $10-100k per person would work, which gives $1-100m, but apparently they cost billions for some reason.
I find this completely wrong. Every time I want to answer a question, googling it will give me 2-3 pages of SEO hypercharged shitty articles that take way too long to go into the point.

Compared to opening 2-3 reddit threads you get 20-30 opinions all without filler and get to then form your meta opinion on that. Its absolutely magic!

> This is what makes Emacs more flexible than Vim to the point where there's a very faithful reimplementation of Vim for Emacs. Couldn't do the opposite, even if you wanted to.

This claim seems at least suspect to me. Vim scripting isn't fun, and vim certainly isn't centred around it like emacs is, but it's possible. Usually making this claim would challenge people to solve it themselves, but I suspect that vim users care significantly less about welcoming emacs users into their environment than vice versa.

(Also, the various vim implementations in emacs are almost-but-not-quite there, to the point that I believe really experienced vim users fall into an uncanny valley.)

If you like literature then focus on lyrics. The country genre, folk and rap can be appreciated from a literary angle if you can’t hear well or recognize intervals or anything. If you like movies, try on some musicals and then wade into opera. The lines between the thee areas op mentions are somewhat artificial. You can spend more time reading about music than listening, and that still counts as enjoying music.

Designing small-molecules is "extremely inefficient" compared to what? We might as well say fishing is inefficient because of all the time spent not reeling in a fish. We should definitely research all plausible alternatives, but nothing in medicine is as convenient as a small-molecule drug that works. So people are going to try to find them.
Minisplits upstairs might be a good idea. Also, anything to reduce the stack effect. You might have air leaks pulling heat upwards all day.

The Alcubierre Drive does not change topology (number of shortest paths), only geometry (lengths of the shortest path).

People with high IQs, who win Nobel prizes are more complex than the average joe. Their motivations, inspirations and behaviour, perhaps, needs a different perspective than normal analysis.

Its a wonderful article, but seems to suggest that his human nature was non existant, rather than hidden. This I find is unbelievable. Perhaps he never had a chance to truly explore his human side, mainly because those who tried to make him explore were not patient nor persistant.
You could have one pamphlet with the policy, and a separate book with the reasoning, and instruct people to check the book when proposing a change or exception. Then all of the lazy compliant people could have their brevity, and the crackpots and geniuses would both get the explanatory text they needed.
It's interesting to know if people who really are careful and follow the handwashing/mask/distancing rules get sick. It seems like they're much, much less likely to.

> If we are worried about a deflationary spiral the solution is simple. Give everyone money.

Yeah, you might want to spend a bit more time thinking and reading about it. Keen has been ignored and mocked by the economics establishment, but he's the only guy I know who takes debt seriously and has developed computer models for dealing with the natural instability of exponential growth in it (Krugman famously has said "we owe it to ourselves").

You need to bring the total debt load down, to bring the absolute payment load down to a sustainable level and handle the exponent in debt growth. Giving everyone money without forcing them to pay down debt doesn't accomplish that, it's a linear response to an exponential problem. There's a reason debt jubilees were built into most pre-modern societies.

Point 1 effectively happens today, with larger and successful pharma firms basically waiting on startups to do the heavy lifting/absorb risk of product development, then swooping in at a late phase to acquire the startup.

Point 2 is outside the FDA's mandate. Other HHS agencies like the CDC and BARDA are a better fit and more or less already do this.

Point 3: again, outside the FDA mandate, and the FDA doesn't 'choose' anything in this sense. It evaluates safety and efficacy. Public health benefit is a secondary factor, and one that doesn't necessarily get heavy weight (e.g. Achaogen getting plazomicin 'Fast Tracked' by the FDA didn't seem to do much in Achaogen's favor in the end, with the drug only getting approved for a less-profitable indication).

Point 4: Again, agencies other than the FDA already do this and are a better fit.

Point 5: This is practically already how the industry works, though the FDA isn't the one calling shots.
There is some gravitational anomaly in our solar system. There was a paper from earlier this year suggesting that it might be caused by a small black hole, although I guess there is no reason it couldn't also be caused by a wormhole.

Edit: Here is the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.14192. I misremembered it as a gravitational anomaly, but that is not completely inaccurate (it concerns the clustering of Kuiper belt orbits). The author (Ed Witten) proposes something similar to what you described for detecting the object.
Nice but super simple, the tips are unique which makes it easy to solve. Still, very original.
Without exaggeration, I'd say about 5% of the cases?

> • you memorized it

This means I've got about a day or two at most while I still have it memorized - but my plans usually span longer than that.

> • it's not as important as it seemed yesterday

That would account for most of the irrelevant 5% of my notes, I suppose; but most of the time, it will still provide important context when I come back to it weeks later.

>• it's a todo and having it there actually nags you and prevents you from completing it

Never really understood these sorts of todo issues. If a task is sitting somewhere for longer than necessary, it's likely unimportant. If it is important, I'm more than glad to be "nagged".

>• it creates some other kind of mental load: while skipping over it, it grabs your attention, which then prevents you from attending to other tasks on the list.

Move it to the bottom, or to another list outright ("To do later").

>I have a theory that GTD helps only few, for most people it just makes them feel better because they are now spending time creating lists instead of doing what's on them.

I have a theory that people like to riff on organizational tools when they do not know how to utilize them properly - which is why most are drawn to utilize them in ineffective and inefficient ways, generalizing this as a property of the tool.

Besides, GTD/task management is a miniscule portion of why it makes sense to construct knowledge bases.
That's a good point. It's going to be a lot more complex to sell just TikTok's US operations than the whoe company, for all the reasons mentioned.

Still, I guess there is a positive to all this complexity. It's a perfect test case for what splitting up Google/Facebook/Apple/Microsoft/whatever would be like, assuming an antitrust cause goes ahead. You'd likely have many of the same issues there, so this could be a chance to see how things might play out in such a situation...
Wow. Brings back memories. I forgot on the fly disk compression used to be a thing. I didn't remember the lawsuit against Microsoft, though it doesn't surprise me.
It’s going to be hard to find a drug, and it is going to be hard to develop it, and you weren’t going to get paid for it. So why would you do that?
You burn your Vive device to the ground and implore the Gods to rid humanity from the Zucc.
> forbidding TikTok

I'm still not sure how that would work. Sure, they could forbid people from downloading new versions of the app, but the existing app is already out there on phones - would they be able to force removal of the app?

The critical bit is to continuously evaluate whether or not the processes and systems are achieving the mission of the organization.

In my, academic, world, the core problem is that there is no overarching mission against which the process/system can be evaluated. We have 5-10 important goals of the institution/system and multiple sub-organizations with wildly different emphasis on each goal.
Never skip leg day!

We looked into leg resistance bands early on in the design stage, and user tests led us away from them. In reality, you can get plenty of resistance for the lower body from gravity and the right exercises - we're working on some different game dynamics to introduce things like squats and lunges.
The fact that requirements change when circumstances change DRASTICALLY doesn't mean that they were imaginary. It just means that they were based on a situation that no longer exists.

One of the things that drew me to emacs initially was that I could customise it to reduce or, in most cases, eliminate mouse usage. Toolbars, scroll bars etc. were the first things to go. Just taking those away makes emacs must more attractive for me.
Do you think stalkers and murderers are commonly using this data? It sounds like they passed a law to prevent this type of issue from happening again.

This data doesn't seem that sensitive or difficult to obtain via other methods depending on the exact situation. You should check out the system that the repo industry uses to track vehicle location via license plate scanning.
The FDA approval process ensures both that drugs perform an intended function, and that drugs don't harm people. Part of the expense of this process is making sure that both of these aspects are performed to sufficient standards.

It sounds like your suggestion would lower the bar for both these aspects, and only catch issues after the fact - something which could have fatal consequences.

I'm curious how you would see this playing out in a positive light, particularly given the money involved and the incentives to game the system.

I think the implication of the question was why did TikTok become "cool" when vine didn't? They're essentially very similar.
