A dawn-to-dusk sun-synchronous orbit completes most of its orbits in full view of the sun:

> This means that, for most of the year, PROBA2 will have a full-time view of the sun, and will not experience eclipses of the sun behind the earth. However, because the orbit does not follow the terminator exactly, PROBA2 will experience brief periods of several weeks when eclipses of the sun by the earth do occur, specifically around December each year. During approximately 80 days (from November until January), visible eclipses occur every orbit with a duration ranging from a few minutes in November up to a maximum of 18 minutes and back to 0.

> at least there is a very objective measure ($$$ closed) at the end of the period.

That is far from an objective measure standing alone, unless every salesperson generates all their own leads and the distribution of potential leads is random.

But generally your more experienced members will get the bigger potential customers.

So now you're back at square one trying to judge their success in relation to the anticipated likelihood of their leads.
This is just like the CBT mindfulness technique for defusing from unwelcome thoughts. Imagine the painful discussion going on in your head is being carried out by the Ducktails kids or something ridiculous. To draw attention to the fact that they are just words.
It would be cool to see some bot like this to feed in unwanted thoughts and get back a cartoon.. there are so many great things we could be doing with computing to redefine our selves and our interfaces with world and others, but all we got so far is thins reinforcing the same old tired power relations of yore
I was disappointed that my Samsung monitor (LC34 w/Thunderbolt) does not appear to accept (or process) the DDC writes to change inputs. It'll accept DDC commands for volume and brightness changes, but completely ignores the input ones.

It's kind of a shame because it's a fantastic monitor, but it has real issues with hunting between multiple inputs. I'm tempted to try to hack on the EEPROM firmware itself.
Drug companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars showering doctors with incentives to prescribe their drugs. Additionally drug companies run ads where they literally tell potential customers what to "discuss" with their doctor. Honestly I think a day or so of research into how drug companies market their wares would of probably saved this guy $40k.

His work is interesting as a free product, maybe as a side project could of grown over time into a potential acquisition. Slapping a paint of React (or Svelte) on top of his Excel-driven POC and a "show Hacker News" post might of been a better way to go.

However kudos to him for not only trying to pursue the idea but also for the write up. It's easy for me to armchair quarterback this one, especially since my father was a doctor who got hammered weekly by drug companies, but I'm sure his blood/sweat/tears will pay off in other ways.
Corporations aren't the only ones that advertise. Completely eliminating advertising would restrict speech for both corporations and individuals.

Maybe I want to create a charity and am looking to raise awareness for a fundraising event I am having.

Maybe my dog ran away and I want to get the word out about a monetary reward I am offering for helping to find them.

Maybe I am a touring comedian and I want to advertise my next show.

Maybe I am an amateur photographer and want volunteer subjects to help hone my craft.

The list goes on and on for potential non-corporate uses of advertising. If we want to treat corporate speech and individual speech differently, I think there is a much more important place to start: Citizens United v. FEC.
> It will always have lies and misinformation,

The misconception is that there is a form of speech that doesn't have lies or misinformation. People seem to imagine that there is some perfect form of moderation that will only present us the unvarnished truth. That simply isn't the case. You're only limiting the lies to those that serve the interest of whoever controls the moderation.

Disclaimer: Not a lawyer.

I think companies with a physical office in the US, where they also have a operating presence, are exempt. But looks like you still have to report that you are exempt.

If you are not exempt, you need to provide your name, address, date of birth, and an ID. That is all.

At this point, it looks like FOIA is not applicable for this information, so privacy is not impacted.

Yes, but for GC still must happen and sometimes even milliseconds can be a problem, depending on the use-case. It really depends on what your business does, so the OPs concerns with the JVM are very valid.

At the same time, I think (while not being an expert) that in the majority of the cases, the GC will not be a problem and that the time you can save from using Akka Cluster allows you to optimize your system more than enough to make up for any GC latency problems, in almost every system.

The only technology that might be better/comparable here is the erlang VM, but I have never used it myself.

Mmm, strange. I do some minor diy stuff and I can't imagine not imagining stuff. I do draw on paper to brainstorm and use CAD but most of the design problem solving goes on in my head.

But then I am also an artist... Although more because of this than the other way around. Although drawing has further trained this ability, I have accurate detailed childhood (~5-6y) memories (of houses, schools, objects, etc) from before I was drawing consistently enough for it to matter (high school).

I wonder, can people who see 0 imagine movement if they're seeing the object right in front of them? And if they can draw 3d objects, can they still do so if they close their eyes?
> Even worse, the idea that SE is a learning process is not communicated in any of the SE textbooks I know.

I think that Naur's "Programming as Theory Building" (1985) communicates this idea succinctly and forcefully. It's not a textbook, though.
More than that, "I have nothing to hide" is the finest misdirection ever used. There are 2 kinds of things you may want to hide: legal things and illegal things.

When the police or the government says "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear", they're technically talking about the illegal things, but 99% of people haven't done illegal things, so it actually is fine to say "I have nothing to hide". What those 99% of people mean is "I have nothing illegal to hide". But by reinforcing the idea that there's nothing to hide, people have now conflated both and now also believe that "I have nothing legal to hide". Which is completely wrong of course: private life is private, it has no business being shown to anyone.

Not only do people not understand the difference between the two, they are also not realizing that our analog lives are private by default, but by using tools like Facebook our digital lives become public by default; the switch is invisible, it feels like nothing has changed so we don't really care. I still don't know how to make people understand the boundaries that their data really has once it's stored on someone else's server.
> Amazon gave them 7 weeks of advance notice that their content was in violation of their agreement.

Not the same thing as giving them notice of intent to terminate the contract. If Amazon said "some of your content is in violation, but let's work together to improve your moderation, you have nothing to worry about" that does not give Amazon the right to turn around and terminate them after only 24 hours notice.

> The real problem of the last few years is that really blatant lies have been remarkably successful in the "marketplace of ideas" and quite hard to effectively argue against

The mathematical case against blaming people for their misfortune
I'm not sure I undertstand the courts argument. I guess you're saying that the disproportionately republican justices would be more amenable to a civil liberties reading of the law. But in fact the truth is the opposite: conservative courts have a long and very consistent history of being very friendly to police powers.
its more than that. there is a loose correspondence between plan and work. so changes in plans can often be projected onto changes in work. the same goes for expectations and dependencies.

the other thing about the plan is that it attempts to capture what completion might look like. where i come from, the things software developers do right before releasing code look very different than the things they do when they are starting a new project. the plan can allow you to try to do some orchestration, ensure minimum quality bars are met, etc.

having a fuzzy map of the future that you're constantly having to correct sucks. having no map at all leads to the kind of carpe diem development organizations that never seem to finish anything.
Some doctors use expert systems. They select symptoms and computer spits out possible list of treatments and then doctor picks one. If it doesn't work asks to come back and tries the next one. It's kind of like a human in today's self driving cars. Especially when it comes to mental health and anti-depressants. Essentially tests on production.

Generics nothing more or less than a safety feature. Right now code that would use generics instead use the empty interface instead, which is effectively opting out of the type system entirely.

I'm personally ambivalent on whether go adds generics or not but framing a lack of generics as a safety feature is the most absurd thing I've heard today.

Georgia was sued a decade ago and lost for letting children languish in care, because of racial matching "rules" in certain counties.

Parler was in breech. Amazon could have stopped providing service at any point where Parler was knowingly hosting content that violated their contract.

The fact that they continued providing service was a curtesy, not an obligation. For most smaller/ non connected entities they'd have been dropped much much sooner, and likely without notice.

My proposal could be done immediately. All the infrastructure already exists. Remove the tax deduction for employers, give it to individuals on healthcare.gov, job done. Or ban employer sponsored health insurance and don’t offer anyone a tax deduction.

Either way, it’s all just a matter of changing regulation. The real problem is big business will lobby against it because it gives them an advantage over small business, and a leash on employees.
That's how my interactions with East Coasters always seemed to go for most of my life. It always seemed strangely artificial and out of place... and also off-putting in the sense that they seemed to be indicating they would look down on people that didn't go to an ivy league school or something. It seemed like a handshake where you get assessed for your social standing in every new interaction. There's definitely plenty of social stratification on the West Coast too, but it seemed more implicit rather than explicit. I suppose the process is a natural one and you could make an argument for either way of going about it, but the East Coast style of it always rubbed me the wrong way.

Frankly though, I can't stand a lot of the attitudes from the SF/SV area either. There's a lot of self-righteousness and self-signed certificates of moral authority in that crowd. I'm not a fan. People are allowed to see the world differently, and for most of the things I believe are right, I won't pretend to be so certain of my the moral absoluteness of my beliefs to insist anyone who disagrees is inherently less intelligent, wrong, or beneath me but that seems to be the status quo in the Bay.
Advertisers set the guidelines, and they include many things common to the right wing narrative.

This simply isn't true. Google sets the guidelines, and they are intentionally vague so that they can get away with anything they want.
> What makes central authorities and mainstream popular media inherently more suspicious?

I'll take a stab.

Central authorities tend to be and to become political in nature. Their incentives include, among other things, maintaining their funding and not looking bad (eg: maintaining a purpose for existing, excusing their own misbehavior, making any political benefactors happy). What they say will probably align with those institutional incentives first, before truth. It can also stop them from saying things they ought to.

Mainstream popular media does not exist to be an objective arbiter of truth but instead because enough people want to consume it. It's a business, albeit a business that has an incredible amount of power over not only the public's opinion, but what they should care about, both through what they report and what they don't report. They will push as many emotional buttons as they can to keep you coming back. Because they have a lot of power over the public they are targets for actors wishing to advance their own goals.
Individual journalists are not a-political and you shouldn't expect them to be. Assume all reporting is tribal (especially if you agree with it), and that not only is the story as presented probably biased towards their own view of the world but that they've probably also left inconvenient things out.
Political creatures tend to associate with those they agree with, and are in turn controlled by the group.
Potential ostracism from their in-group is another source of bias.
It's not incitement to call a child pedophile a child pedophile unless you approve of said child pedophile. It's really quite simple.

I had an employee adopt a foster child around 10-11yrs old. Quite an eye opener for me. Employee missed a huge amount of time (which I allowed with no questions) because the child just could not function. When they put the child in school, the police were called a couple times a week (I am not exaggerating). Finally, the child accused one of new parents of child abuse because they were not allowed to do something. Child services took the child back in custody but no charges were pressed because everyone involved knew what was going on and what happened. My employee that adopted this child was heart broken and talked to them everyday even a year later. Truly a terrible situation.

Bottom line: young children can be broken severely at a very young age and it is extremely hard to fix then going forward.
> I don't see why a future collapse into tyranny of a country in Europe would have to involve a revival of the symbols of any particular defeated regime

It wouldn't have to. But having watched Hitler sell the idea that Germany was being unjustly punished for Jewish lies a generation earlier, they drew the conclusion that [West] Germany was quite likely to see would-be tyrants rallying around a Lost Cause narrative and that vulnerability to this was a bigger problem than a lack of diversity in holocaust historiography. Or more straightforwardly, they figured German democracy faced a more imminent threat from neo-Nazism than a slippery slope towards an Official State Version of History. A view which seems to have persisted even after reunification with the East which had considerable recent experience with the pervasive censorship involved in promoting its Official State Version of History.
Sure, but you need to demonstrate that the auto-labeled training data is valuable by showing that a model trained on it performs as well (or close to as well) as the same model trained on human-labeled data. Without that, we're just eyeballing the auto-labels and saying "looks good I guess!"

Obviously we should expect that the auto-labeler fails on the test set, because we assume we're exploiting some convenience that won't be available at test time. But we should still try - it might reveal that our task is too easy to need the model we were planning to train, or it might reveal that our test set is not actually representative.

There are indeed readily-available ARM servers from the likes of DellEMC and HPE, and ready-to-integrate motherboards from the likes from Supermicro and Gigabyte, and AMD still sells ARM chips. This is very much opposite of your assertion.
Perhaps it would be comforting, or not, to know that the recent calls to suppress free speech don't come as a result to any credible threat to democracy and are unilaterally supported from people who have significant political gain to do so.
Maybe poor phrasing on my part, but that's the prevalent theory I've seen for how they do it today.

> The tool should have been designed (IMO) as a consumer tool, either a kiosk at CVS/Walgreens/pharmacies to assist with OTC med selection or possibly as a website with ads/referrals.

Sure but... would you really need any clinical data to make this valuable? A pharmacy could just make a decision tree with some common symptoms and do the same thing based on their own recommendations. Including data from studies is a neat enhancement but not necessary IMO.

I think perhaps there's greater value in the platform or methodology the author built for doing this type of meta analysis for medication. Could it be applied to other research fields I wonder. Could the software be licensed?
