That's the problem, though. Once bidirectional communication exists, you can pretty much guarantee there's an exploitable hole in it that can be used to break the firewall.
NASA to launch delicate stowing of OSIRIS-REx asteroid samples
It's much rougher IMO. It has no autocompletion yet [0], and you cannot copy-and-paste code in it like IPython and Julia's REPL, as it does not respect the original indentation. (Tried to copy-and-paste the first example in Nim's webpage [1] and it failed because it inserted indentation at wrong places.) For the record, IPython has the `%paste` command, and Julia's REPL automatically detects when code is being pasted (this would however be less relevant, since Julia's language is not indent-based).

I am not sure if it supports plotting libraries à la matplotlib, however. If it has this capability, it might be still interesting in its present state.

I know I'm going to get downvoted, but may I quote Wikipedia:

"An ice age is a long period of reduction in the temperature of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental and polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Earth's climate alternates between ice ages and greenhouse periods, during which there are no glaciers on the planet. Earth is currently in the Quaternary glaciation, known in popular terminology as the Ice Age.[1] Individual pulses of cold climate within an ice age are termed "glacial periods" (or, alternatively, "glacials", "glaciations", "glacial stages", "stadials", "stades", or colloquially, "ice ages"), and intermittent warm periods within an ice age are called "interglacials" or "interstadials", with both climatic pulses part of the Quaternary or other periods in Earth's history.[2]"

Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_age

No matter the cause, no ice in the polar regions is actually the norm. Sure, bad consequences for humanity are real, but in the (very) long run, we would have to face them anyway (if humanity still exists).

I agree that meeting with users will only make people burn out faster.

I mean most web developers nowadays work in a glorified version of manipulating users, spying on them, and / or shoving ads into their face.

I've yet to meet anyone who would feel happy to meet the person that sells them out to advertisers online. I'm sure there are users that love all of their YouTube recommendations and that check their Facebook feed hourly. But those are probably the people that make you question humanity when you meet them...
Don't assume the author is a man. The author of this article is Stephanie Yang.
I can only provide a back-of-the-envelope estimation for the US: 120M households[1], 20% in rural areas [2], 40% of the people cannot select between multiple ISPs [3].

At the suggested $100/mo you'd get 120M * 0.2 * $100 = $2.4Bn/mo from rural areas plus 120M * 0.8 * 0.4 * $100 ≈ $3.8Bn/mo from urban areas.

So in the US a reasonable cap would be about $6.2Bn/mo or $74.4Bn/yr.

Operational costs are difficult to estimate, but using the current numbers, $50M/launch and $250k/sat seems reasonable. At 60 sats per launch and 12k sats fleet size, build-up cost would be $10Bn launch costs plus $3B for the sats, so about $13Bn total.

With an average lifespan of 5yr/sat, 40 launches per year are required to maintain the fleet. That's an additional $2.1Bn/yr for replenishing old sats.

Costs for ground operations come on top of that.

Considering all this, even without a major game changer in launch costs (i.e. Starhip), Starlink would be very profitable even if they "only" reach %25 of the rural population in NA.

Survey results on important elements in data science

You're welcome.

I left a comment on your project a year or 2 ago, seeking clarification what it was or did -- I did not understand from your original description. I hope that this was more helpful!

I'm happy with my way, but if I may say, the desktop which really needs this kind of tool is GNUstep. http://www.gnustep.org/

There's a new GNUstep-based OS called LIVEstep, based on FuryBSD: https://github.com/probonopd/LIVEstep

At present, GNUstep uses Alt instead of the Mac's Cmd, leading to weird keystrokes which are neither Mac-ish nor Windows/Linux-ish. It's a mess.
Hmm, this was rumored but I guess now it is actually happening. Nice bump on the share price there I guess, it’s currently trading at around $115 and it seems to be converted to $143 in AMD. I assume this is to help AMD push more into the server and ML compute spaces?
Wouldn't it be better to just not give these crazies any more publicity?
In the stock trading world, HFT on FPGA is closer to the edge than GPU / TPU solutions and they are using ML models, if you count that as AI. When the logic and the NIC are on the same hardware, it's really fast. An ASIC would be even faster, but you can't really iterate on that.
I agree, at least in sentiment. Adding noise to the market is strictly an advantage for retail investors who don't have access to high-frequency trading algorithms, pre-IPO pricing, detailed equity analysis, sophisticated pricing algorithms, or sophisticated financial instruments. There's certainly competition amongst Wall Street firms and they do create winners and losers... but they are winners and losers amongst themselves.

The added noise and participation of retail investors at least somewhat disrupts their playground as you so succinctly put it, and creates arbitrage and investment opportunities. I guess one could argue that although it's still largely exclusionary, at least it's better than in the 1900s in terms of access, but that's not much comfort.

I'm open to seeing other points of view, but at first glance this looks like it's a good thing, to my eyes.
As a non-native speaker, can one say: "My Woman"? Or what would you recommend?
Working with linear algebra has been one of the most valuable skill-sets to develop as a programmer. It's not relevant to a lot of domains, but for dealing with real or simulated 3D spaces it is like a super-power.
Has Intel done much with Altera? I haven’t heard much of anything come out of that partnership. (Then again, I’m not plugged in to this stuff.)
Tesla's stock reminds me of Bitcoin, a legitimately valuable commodity that has suddenly skyrocketed in price due to a rush of buying from the general public. With it and similar "popular" stocks it'll be interesting to see what the eventual return to normalcy will do to the company.

> I've seen at least a dozen apps this year that have solved the exact same problem in just about the exact same ways.

They only solve the problems the same way when viewed from distance. If you look closer, there often is a significant difference in some details which make them fundamental different tools.

> Am I the only one that still uses pen and paper?

I try it from time to time, and then fail over the shortcomings of paper. Additionally, with paper it's hard to manage digital content. Having a unified system for everything, that on top can even be automated is the real endgame of personal data managment.

> and brainstorming without technology.

Brainstorming is something differnt. It generates temporary data which you can throw away after wards. For this of course is paper better or a whiteboard. But you are supposed to clean up the results of the brainstorm-session and make something more lasting out of it, and for this digital media is better on long terms.

It may have been Xilinx not wanting to get into bed with Intel. Xilinx may have wanted a degree of technical independence or freedom to carry out their own strategy that was not forthcoming from Intel.
Keep in mind that of these people a significant portion don't have access to:

• clean running water

• stable electricity supply

• disposable income

• bank accounts or means of making international payments

tl;dr summary (disclaimer: I am the author): multi-cloud strategies are finally much more realistic to implement, thanks to cloud-native technology such as Kubernetes and other software from the CNCF landscape running on top of Kubernetes. And due to the EU/US Privacy Shield agreement no longer being admissible since Schrems II, you pretty much have to start taking jurisdiction for your data processing and storage into serious consideration.
He's a professional journalist and while on the BBC, he has competently cross-examined politicians of any party or background, but to pretend he's not on the right is silly, as Ben Shapiro found out to his detriment.

I'm from The Netherlands. In geography class (some 25 years ago) I learned there is a geographical border going from approx south west Netherlands to north east Netherlands. Imagine from Zeeland to Nijmegen to Groningen, approx. Above that border, everything gets lower. Under that border, everything goes higher. I don't remember the cause of it. I remember rivers bringing a lot of mud with them over time but not sure if related.

Also Zuiderzee (after Afsluitdijk remade into IJsselmeer) had floods which is why Afsluitdijk as part of the Zuiderzeewerken was build in the first place. Also look up Mr. Cornelis Lely, the architect if interested.

The other massive anti flood system is called Deltawerken, in Zeeland and Zuid-Holland due to the Watersnoodramp 1953.
> I am absolutely baffled at how the media is covering this study, it's basically "front page" or I've seen it as the number 1 news item.

Rather on par with the coverage so far as far as I can tell. The media has been going on about "cases" (i.e. positive) tests and comparing absolute numbers between countries which do not have the same absolute numbers of people.

The problem with the graphics cards not working on a stock A500 (At the very end of the article), might be down to the Zorro adapter that's being used. The A500 edge connector is not a full Zorro II slot, and although it's easy to build/buy an adapter, not many Zorro II cards actually work. So I'm not sure that was a valid test of the cards.
Perhaps they would not make good competition. FPGAs have been known to be slower than ASICs. But then again, perhaps some other company will find a good use for rapidly changing IC design.

In reality only solving 1 in 5 reported robberies probably means at best one in two robberies even gets reported to police. Unless you need a police report for an insurance payout, what's the point in going through the hassle of reporting the crime if it's unlikely to lead anywhere.

I think for most common domains it’s far to late to make a distinction; we already lost http:// and now www is pretty much gone everywhere. I wonder if we’ll get rid of .com anytime soon.

While we’re on the topic, I wonder why some websites chose to redirect to www and some keep the apex domain as their homepage. I use the latter because it’s cleaner and, well, my domain is primarily used for my website, but I wonder if there is a technical reason behind choosing one or the other.

AMD Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Except platforms are the internet in any meaningful sense of the word. In the 80s people literally thought that when you and I wanted to exchange data over the net, I would connect to your computer or vice versa. Even setting aside centralization pressures resulting from economy of scale, NAT killed this by essentially making everyone's PC act as a client and never a server, at least without extra non-user friendly work

Projects like IPFS and urbit are trying to change this but the FAANG economy of scale combined with the sheer user friendliness of centralized platforms makes me very bearish

Fairphone 3 Plus Review: Sustainability Comes with Compromises
Just came across this story four days after its listing and it seems my post is the first one.

Given the story's mass surveillance topic, and as there's been no other posts up untill now, one could conclude that even HN readers now adopt self censorship and refrain from visiting certain sites for fear of being noticed.

And I admit I'm one of them. Long before Snowden, probably as far back around 2000, I've kept away from searching for certain topics. It's annoying really as I'm curious about many things, but in these suspicious and overly-accusative times, I reckon there's little virtue in bringing unnecessary attention to oneself over just being mildly curious about something.

The article's correct, times have changed. In the early days of the internet there was no way I would have so acted and self-censored myself as I do now.

Most people automatically behave differently when they're being stared at or when others look over their shoulders. Remember at school when you couldn't do sums as well when your teacher was peering directly over your shoulder. (And this effect is not just limited to us humans, my partner's cat will stop eating its meal altogerher if I stare at it whilst its doing so.)

There's no doubt this type of mass surveillance is widely debilitating and subjugates people. Even when it appears to be taking no action, just the fact that the State is forever watching leads to some degree of subjugation of its citizenry.

Remember, the corollary of subjugation is totalitarianism.
The sentence works fine if it’s left off entirely.
Title should read "<= 32 PCR cycles" but bugs out somehow.

Most test threshold are in the 35-40 cycle range.
Fair enough, but then such headlines are misleading or useless, as they don't tell us anything about the rate.

They suggest melting ice in general is cause for concern, when really it is expected because of the ice age cycles.

Not saying the rate is not concerning, but then they should write about the rate, not about extreme measurements.
Wonder what AMD told them.

It seems likely that percentage will increase as more people are vaccinated and do not have adverse side effects, so people gain trust in the vaccine.

The same is true for other vaccines. See for example [the figure on this page](https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/qa-ola-rosling-gapminder): in this survey, in Germany, 13% said they believe vaccines are not safe in general, but only 3% of babies are not getting the measles vaccination.

So let's hope many of the people that currently are not planning to get the vaccine, will change their mind and actually do so in the end. I think good information campaigns in the media and testimonies of friends that have received the vaccine will do a lot to mitigate this problem.
These systems are crude but they implement a physical airgap.

You would have to hack a gateway (on-site) or physically access a segregated bus, at which point you could argue that you could also physically tamper with brakes or engine without any software being involved.
> Telling a business person they have a software problem is meaningless.

Why do you think this? It isn’t true.
Start looking for another job. Systematically. Consistently. Do it after work.

Do your work to the best of your ability. Do not engage in debates. Do as you are told. Get things in writing. Report to your manager and manager only and do what they tell you to do in writing. Nothing more, nothing less.

Disengage.

This is not just one person. Your manager appears to have failed. That company will go down soon or will stop growing as it churns people out like cannon fodder.

One option is to put your manager in front of their responsibility by involving the proper people, their manager and HR. Being fired is a possible and likely outcome and you stated that you cannot afford that, so start looking elsewhere. Unless you deeply care about this company, as in, you want to build it and take it to the next level, go somewhere else. Life is too short to work with people you dread talking with.

<many years ago> when Intel acquired Altera, and announced Xeon CPUs with on-chip FPGAs, I was optimistic that eventually they would add FPGAs to more low-end desktop CPUs (or at least Xeons in the sub-$1000 zone). But it never materialized. I'm slightly optimistic this time around too, but I suspect that the fact that Intel didn't do it hints at some fundamental difficulty.
That's what undo is for, isn't it?
