> As opposed to the Mars rocket business?

SpaceX talks a lot about Mars, but so far they've mostly stuck to Earth orbit, because that's where the money is. They are starting to do some Moon-related stuff – because both NASA and space tourists will pay to go there. Even Starship, which was designed as a vehicle to get to Mars, most of its actual use is going to be Earth orbit or lunar, it is going to be very many years before its Martian use cases outnumber its Earth/Moon ones.

SpaceX will probably fund a few unmanned trips to Mars out of their own pocket – land a couple of Starships containing supplies that might be useful to future colonists. But I'm sure straight after doing that they'll be knocking on NASA's door suggesting that NASA pay them for some Mars missions... imagine how many (and how big) rovers you could fit on a Starship.

Musk has said he wants SpaceX to develop the necessary transport technologies to support colonisation of Mars – and they'll try to use non-Mars-related revenue sources to pay for that development. But he's also said the role of actually setting up a Martian colony (as opposed to just providing transportation to get there) won't fall to SpaceX.

I have a theory – which could just be wild speculation on my part – at some point Musk is going to set up something like a "Mars Colonisation Foundation" as a non-profit tasked with colonising Mars. And when he dies he's going to leave it the vast bulk of his assets to it (I'm sure he'll leave his family enough to live comfortably, but they don't need billions to do that). And the "Foundation" will end up owning a big chunk of SpaceX, and will be a major customer of SpaceX, but will remain separate from it. It will actually try to pay for the colonisation of Mars, not SpaceX themselves. And it will stick at it as long as it takes (even if it takes a few lifetimes to pull it all off.)

Err... yes? Google is an employer which has the right to terminate employees as it wants. It doesn't owe you an explanation.
No they won't. As the cost of 51% attack is actually the cost of fee of cancelled transaction(and subsequent ones) plus created coins. The attacker can collect all the fees also from those blocks they mined for attack...

Ofc, if the mining is sufficiently large that it is impossible for anyone to collect enough power, then sure. But that is quite expensive proposition in general...
It has been around less time and BTC is the default crypto for almost everybody.

Market cap is almost a random number, though: the number of available items times the price of current transactions.

A most relevant number would be the total equity invested in the available items. I'd certainly like to see that number, and if anybody has a link it'd be much appreciated.
Silos. Europe is independent. North America is independent. South East Asia is independent. Africa is independent.

There are scientific exchanges, humanitarian aide, artistic exchange, coordination on climate change, and similar, grounded in mutual benefit, but not in mutual interdependence.

These can be big or small silos. Aside from off-grid living, villages, towns, or countries can be independent.

These can also be complete or incomplete. If the tech tree needed for food and transport is local, it's okay if many luxury goods are global.

Agreed! I tried all kinds of keyboards, and intensely dislike all these smaller ones, which I find absolutely unusable for anything more complex than typing email.
Some people quite visibly disagree with me

I eventually settled on a kinesis ergo edge, which I really like.
I think the Kenesis Freestyle (all variants) does tent? It's just an optional add-on, not part of the base kit.

And I assumed having the mass-market ones grouped was mostly intended to let you filter the other ones out (assuming you're trying to buy one, and not just read about wacky historical curiousities). At least how I used it when recently exploring this market (in the end I decided to stick with my Kinesis Advantage, though I did buy some new keys and o-rings to reduce noise slightly)

edit: after looking for the Goldtouch review, I now understand what you mean. It's grouped under the the list of standard options that he has reviews for, not called out on it's own. But if it is basically just an inferior version of anothere near identical product, then I guess that's fair enough.
That is possible, but it's also possible for any store of value , gold , fiat, stocks..
If there were a million transactions per block (every 10 mins,) there would be a lot more than 7 per second.

Thanks for tracking down the actual algorithms! It appears that they work by summing the "signed" areas of half-trapezoids formed between each neighboring pair of vectors and an arbitrary axis line, so I'm going to stand by my claim that the code breaks the polygon up into smaller primitives. :-)

Good catch with the discrepancy between the physics and the visualization. I wonder if there's a way to engineer a cool structure with a lot of invisible mass.

Do you have a notion of how the code actually computes bouyancy? Does it somehow slice the polygon into two at the water line and then compute center and area of both? Once again, it would be interesting to engineer an object that leverages any non-linear behaviors at the water line, perhaps like an object whose mass changes depending on its position and orientation.

Agreed about the bumps, but with mechanical keyboards it's easy to change keycaps. You can get blank caps with a bump or "deep dish", and also many of the high end sets have a "homing kit" addon that throws in U, D, T, and N homing keys. This covers dvorak, colemak, and workman layouts.

The Kobo Aura One with Koreader is the way to go. It just works after you turn off automatic software updates for the kobo firmware.
a little bit different, nice concept anyway https://noderunners.io/
Not OP. Part of the reason I don't feel like spending $10 for this particular software (I pay for quite a bit of software every month FWIW) is the infinite variety that exists in the digital world : I could pay for OneDrive separately and 1Password separately and still have a few bucks left over. Or I could host something on S3 and use BitWarden for passwords .. you get the drift.
The bigger point is that unlike the physical world where I am more or less limited by geography and time to buy "crap", I can pick and choose what I want to pay for. In this particular case, I think the AUD 19 for Dropbox (Plus or whatever it is called) is way too steep for the use it provides.
That's pretty similar to Tegmark's mathematical universe theory, by the way, if you hadn't heard of it.

I had some frustrations with the service in the years when it was running on auto-pilot, but since it mostly worked I shrugged it off (although I warned people not to join).

If I had been paying $22/year at the time I would have been a lot less happy and would probably have closed my account.
Presumably, if copying some data between JavaScript and native code in a slightly roundabout way was an issue, you wouldn't run things through web technology in the first place…
While I may not exactly buy Dropbox plus, I think they're on an unfortunate treadmill competing with Google and MS and have to keep offering extra perks to justify the AUD 19 something per month cost so don't be surprised to find more features into Dropbox. I doubt they can just stick to one thing and do it well :(
That might not all be attributed to nostalgia. CRT displays actually make things look more hi-res and «depthy» [0]. We’ve barely caught up with 4/8K and OLED. This is why CRTs are so popular for retro gaming. Some effects aren’t even possible to display correctly on a non-CRT (without shaders at least) [1].

Ask HN: How to Become a Wireless ISP?
Hello,

My sister in law has a problem to get a good Internet connection. Her house is a few hundred meters from fiber, but no company is interested to connect the few houses on her street. She has a picky LTE with not enough transfer limit. I can see from her home a light industry building, that seems to be high enough to be visible from most fiber-orphaned houses. AFAIK it has fiber connection.

The question is how could I setup a radio ISP. I read about Ubiquiti's airmax, which has relatively cheap and nice devices. But I lack terminology or knowledge what is required for all this to work. I also know that for this idea to work I would have to share the connection with more neighboring houses, to amortize the cost of the rent on the roof. So what should I know to setup an ISP from a single roof to multiple houses?

I think this idea is far fetched, but it's something I would love to read about those modern radio technologies, but I don't know where to start.

Thanks

That feels like "[citation needed]". What do you mean by "is human nature"? Very small minority would participate in murder, stealing, or rape, even if we created no disincentive for them.

It isn't, as that sort of thing was a well-known thing that was in computer textbooks of the time. What that article says about the scheduler is rubbish, by the way. Dynamically adjusting priorities according to recent CPU use was also a standard textbook notion. It isn't "magic".

For example: A contemporary textbook to that 1991 BYTE article is H. M .Deitel's Operating Systems, 2nd Edition, published in 1990. It deals with feedback scheduling and things like multilevel queues and dynamic priority adjustement in chapter 10. And OS/2 (1.x) including its scheduler is a case study in chapter 23.

Saved you a click: Mastodon has no influencers commercializing their "influence". And the author thinks that bad and all.

I think nobody expects Mastodon to replace twitter in every regard, and the author just complaining about not having reach there, or something. Mastodon has no incentives for merely getting popular on the network, and I think users enjoy that very much.

Personally, I don't like the lack of relevance filtering, but that applies to twitter too. For me it's no a place to "have a discussion", but it's weird to assume that anyway and multi tweet threads on Twitter are ridiculous IMO. The reddit-style ActivityPub networks are meant for discussions.

I liked the account but to be honest this line about Herr Doktor and Moses really flew over my head. It's just a bunch of cultural allusions but I don't see how they connect.

- Herr Doktor is a traditional German title, roughly equivalent to the more-known "Doctor of Medicine (MD)" or "Juris Doctor (JD)".

- Is the allusion to Moses due to this story being post-war/unification and Moses is a Jewish figure? (There might be technicalities between "Jew", "Israelite", and "Abrahamic" but I'm even more ignorant here than I am of German customs.)

- Is "space on the stone tablets", "11th Commandment" an allusion to the (in)famous German noun-phrases? Like "Wohnungsgeberbestatigung" which is actually three words (trans: "apartment-provider's confirmation"/"landlord's confirmation").

So...explainer from anyone who got this line?

I think most of the "AI ethics" thing is two things: first, for people that are actual AI practitioners, it makes "AI" seem a lot more powerful and interesting than it is. I think AI is a small part of the example problems you mentioned. Second, it's a way for humanities types to wedge themselves into a hot, high paying field.

This idea is close to the idea of modal realism: all possible worlds are real to their inhabitants, in the same way that our world is real to us. No substrate required.

It's still fun to think how simulations or other types of "nesting" interacts with modal realism. E.g. maybe there is an "Occam's razor" type of effect where we should expect to find ourselves in a world with the simplest physics that allows conscious inhabitants, simply because such worlds have more "instances" within other worlds.
I only did the google searches to illustrate what I'm talking about, because I haven't been saving all the links I've come across here on HN and in other places without looking for it.
> instead of prices coming crashing down, prices stay stagnant or grow slowly, while earnings grow quickly

Do you have a link where I could read more about this? As a layman I fail to understand how this would work, and I couldn't find a page explaining it.

My naive understanding is that a bubble pops when investors lose confidence in the market, and instead of anticipating growth, anticipates a correction and create a feedback loop down to a certain level (at which some counter feedback stabilizes the movement).

How can earnings increase when investors have lost confidence?

It's a humurous statement about arrogance, in a nutshell :
The Doctor is always correct, no matter the context.

The Moses 11th Commandment, is a comment on the biblical story of Moses. He was given 10 laws from God, and etched them onto a stone tablet. The Doctors of Germany are annoyed becuase the there should have beeen an 11th COmmandandment and it should have been, 'The Doctor is always correct'. The Doctors of Germany have forgiven God for this oversight.

> Do you have a notion of how the code actually computes bouyancy?

Weight force (downward) is determined by the full polygon.

Buyancy force (upward) is determined by the part below the water line.

Lateral/angular motion results from the fact that the forces act on the centroids of the full polygon vs the centroid of the submerged polygon.

The script seems to use a JS library named "turf" to clip the polygon at the water line. Here's the line in the source:

var pp = turf.bboxClip(p, [-Infinity, yZero, Infinity, Infinity]).geometry.coordinates[0];

As far as I can tell, yZero is the water line, and pp is the part of the polygon that is submerged.
I feel like you might be overthinking this a little ;) it's simply that commonly and (mostly) ironically Mose's commands are seen as the corner-stone of Christian societies.

And since the fact that ein Herr Doctor is always right is such a fundamental law in German society (again, this is obviously a hyperbole and meant ironically) one would've expected it to be included in Mose's list of commands. But since it isn't, ehe only rational reason for it to have been omitted must've been the fact that he didn't have much space left for that 11th command. That's all.

-free

-easily accessible and configurable

-no registration if possible

-fun!
