Sounds like in most cases the satellites don't have any propulsion of their own, and are "ejected" onto their orbit from the ISS. Put simply, they get thrown out.

I'm sure some checks are done of the orbital mechanics to avoid any risk of a later collission, but keep in mind that the ISS makes frequent course corrections to stay in orbit, and at this low of an orbit drag is also a factor, so simply being a smaller craft will cause different forces to push you onto a different path.

Obviously this means you have very little choice in your orbit, but for many small satellites this isn't a concern.

EDIT: To answer your "use it as a garage" point, the answer is that it's way too impractical. In orbital mechanics, drifting apart from something is far easier than getting closer to it, and space is really, really big. Plus keep in mind that you need to not only be in the same place at the same time, but you also need to be moving at the same speed (relative velocities in LEO can quickly reach the order of kilometers per second).
It's fairly common nowadays. Companies like Nanoracks [1] specialize in this.
Obviously this can only be done for cubesats.

They are put into orbit simply by being ejected at the right angle and speed from the ISS.

I recently had a need for one (installation of Octoprint), but then realized the one I had in a drawer was too old to work. So I ended up having to purchase a new one anyways.

See, I'm not arguing about whether it's a good idea to rehabilitate people like Pinker. I'm saying that Pinker is going to have a hard time, in effect, rehabilitating himself, and so it's not necessarily newsworthy that he's attempting to do so (who wouldn't?) --- it won't get him anywhere. That's why I gave McWhorter as the counterexample, of someone who has a better chance at cutting through the noise.

(Cards on the table, I find Pinker odious. But I'm trying not to let my personal opinion of him color what I think is a pretty non-normative argument, at least not too much).
Very common to see on the Chrome store and WordPress.org plugins repo.
My guess would be for guest/home use or maybe for different devices/profiles.
Dunno, looks too complicated, and our results will not be comparable, because my block devices use LUKS encryption, and this doesn't measure raw block device access.

I wrote this quick benchmark tool, maybe try it. It does test raw block device 4k random reads via random batches of 128 reads submitted via io_uring:

https://megous.com/dl/tmp/t.c
(reduce ROUNDS to 5 or 10 if you test something non-SSD)

gcc -o t t.c -luring
./t /dev/sda

On my workstation:

- My HDDs show 4k read iops in the range of: 126-139

- My samsung 980 pro nvme hovers around 160-180 kIOPS

- Samsung 840 PRO SATA : 95 kIOPS

- Samsung 860 EVO SATA : 90 kIOPS

On my Orange Pi 3:

- USB 3.0 attached intel SSD : 4k IOPS = 15393

- USB 3.0 attached samsung 850 EVO : 4k IOPS = 43154

- Sandisk ultra A1 uSD card 09/2018 model: 4k IOPS = 2228

- Sandisk ultra A1 uSD card 10/2019 model: 4k IOPS = 2512
(they are improving over time :))

So that's about 60MiB/s and 168MiB/s random 4k reads over USB 3.0. (controller supports UAS)

Is it hitting the SSD or interface limit? Dunno. I don't have the exact same samsung ssd model connected via SATA anywhere. But it's much more than the values in the article, so the values in the article are certainly not the USB 3.0 interface limits for 4k random reads.

dd is outputing non-SI units in this case, so it was around 392MiB/s
I believe that many belief systems have some truth and some good, and that we will be judged based on our choices relative to what we know, and that all will have the right info & opportunities, eventually.

It's a bit of a shame that AFL upstream is (somewhat) dead. I'm now mainly using honggfuzz, and maintaining both projects downstream in Fedora. It would be nice if we had only one instrumented local fuzzing framework we could all use.

Hi all - I'm the head of engineering at GitHub. Please accept my sincere apology for this downtime. The cause was a bad deploy (a db migration that changed an index). We were able to revert in about 30 minutes. This is slower than we'd like, and we'll be doing a full RCA of this outage.

For those who are interested, on the first Wednesday of each month, I write a blog post on our availability. Most recent one is here: https://github.blog/2021-03-03-github-availability-report-fe...
So actually this wont be a problem. Basically if they do this then each account that they create will only have very few published predictions. So it will be like a coin which comes up head twice after two tosses. The public will not trust such accounts with low number of correct predictions.

To build trust you'd need to have a high count of revealed predictions in any given account.

That said people can try to game the system by uploading a very large number of predictions programmatically, so I think a rate throttling will have to be enforced. Any account can't make more than one prediction a day or something like that.

Also note that the issue you raised will also affect OP's implementation.

This was written in 2019. There is another thread, but this is my first time reading. So I understand;

- Milk prices are going down due to a decrease in the cost of production + overproduction.

- Farmland availability is decreasing because CAFOs are incentivized (required?) to buy more land. Property value is also decreasing for farmers near CAFOs.

- Small farmers operate on decreasing margins.

- Small farmers lack protection against rising overhead costs, this was historically done through co-ops, however these co-ops have grown to be massive conglomerates and fail to serve the underlying communities.

- CAFOs are the leading pollutants of water sources. They are also the leading consumers of ground water.

- There has been a dramatic decrease in the number of small farming operations.

Bad economic policies lead to public health and cultural crises. I can't help but draw some parallels to what has been happening in the Rust Belt (Hillbilly Elegy is a great read for this topic). It's insane how little I know about food economics and scary how much of an impact it has on communities, especially impoverished ones.

I travelled the world for 13 months with my partner and our two daughters (4 and 6 when we left) in 2017/2018. We talk about our experiences on that trip all of the time.

We didn't work at that time, unless you count being an amateur travel agent, which actually a lot of work.

We are actively attempting to design our lives in a way that would allow us to do it again.

Needless to say, it was incredible. I would do it again. It cost us a lot (in both money spent and opportunity costs), but I would easily pay 2x (and we certainly could have done it cheaper).

Then, when I got home, I receive multiple job offers (which I mostly avoided). So, it did not harm long-term earning potential (and given how much people admire the story, may have improved it).
Google Publishes “Leaky.Page” Showing Spectre in Action Within Web Browsers
I don't remember where I saw it, and I'm struggling to find it now, but there was some interview where he explicitly claims to not be racist and claims to not hate black people, and even claims to not be a white supremacist, but that he merely believes that the races shouldn't mix and that America should be a white ethno-state.

He knows that racism is not socially acceptable, so he makes bad faith claims of not being racist while expressing obviously racist views. And the problem is, it works. It doesn't take much searching to find racists that don't think they're racist. The fact that people don't think Donald Trump is racist, despite a long list of racist remarks and actions [0], is proof of that.

And of course, later, Milo Yiannopoulos later released an audio recording of an explicitly racist rant. [1]

I want to love emacs with default bindings but find them unergonomic to the extreme. However I think VIMs bindings and multimodal text editing is a false economy, so I don't want to just use evil-mode (spacemacs or DOOM). In other IDEs and OSs there is a consistent scheme for copy, paste, undo, redo but no consistent scheme for new-line-above/below or movement near the home row keys using modifiers. I've been experimenting with alt+[some homerow keys] for movement and left-hand w/modifiers for changes similar to ergoemacs, in vscode. The realisation I've had is that there is an absence of standardized keybindings for text editing across IDEs/editors and the complexity and lack of interoperability rolling-your-own make that approach universally avoided. This means we are in a rut going back and forth between emacs and vim and OS keybindings, and the editor wars are just a symptom of a greater problem. The real issue is that there is not enough R&D on efficiency and human-oriented design and/or this hasn't influenced current standards to a great enough degree. Aside from in a terminal I'm not convinced (if timed/tested) the average coder using the mouse heavily with left-hand shortcuts would be any less capable than a vim guru. Accuracy with a mouse is something that can be improved too, just look at competitive FPS games. I'd also posit the mouse coder spent more time learning coding and less time fiddling with his tools.

Does anyone know where I could find more info about this stuff?

Does anyone know of any research comparing the efficiency/speed/stress of VIM users to, say, VS Code keybindings or emacs ones?

I am a productive vim user already and have just learned standard emacs bindings and ergoemacs bindings within a few hours. This is not a matter of a vim-naiive person avoiding learning the tool. I do have a preoccupation with tools rather than getting stuff done with them... That's our curse isn't it?

The article makes the presumptions that one would be running Arch on a server and that you must be using nginx as a web server.

The latter half of that is particularly striking to me, given that he immediately dives into a shortcoming of nginx... rather than reaching for Apache, he works around nginx's shortcoming.

This is what I said:

> Specifically, [the “variability hypothesis”] is a bold scientific claim that contradicted current and 2005-era understanding of human biology, and requires far more evidence than some economist’s musing. Summers was wrong (factually and morally) to suggest otherwise and Pinker was wrong to defend it.

It is very much a Flying Spaghetti Monster problem: at this point the preponderance of evidence is that there is no inherent difference in the reasoning abilities of men and women, and that any measured difference is much more easily explained by societal factors than genetics. The default hypothesis is that there is no difference and I have not seen any convincing evidence otherwise - evidence which purports to show a difference is always tainted beyond usefulness.

Your argument is equivalent to the observation that I haven’t personally mapped out all of Earth’s orbit so how can I prove there’s no Flying Spaghetti Monster? It is not very convincing!
When the Western Roman Empire collapsed, the various successor states didn't have enough organizational capacity / surplus / numbers to do things like arm permanent standing armies with advanced siege engines, or build aqueducts and long paved roads everywhere.

They're in the business of making bad looking bets with limited downside and unlimited upside and losing most of them. Judging them for making stupid looking bets misses the point entirely. You can only judge the final results by percentage of winners and losers in the end and how big the winners are.

That's what they do. They make stupid looking bets. That's the business. If that hurts their brand with anyone, then that person didn't understand what they're doing anyway.
>I'm generally apprehensive any time someone says "there ought to be a law", but the article lays out a well-sourced case. The economy and big business are directly opposed, and having a distributed economy is much more important for us human beings. Perhaps price controls aren't the answer (and would actually further benefit the large farms that are killing the economy)

Your statements that I quoted above are almost a perfect counter-argument to show why the suggestion in the last sentence of your comment will not work in practice. It will be shot down by vested interests finding loopholes after a few years, if not sooner. IMO a deeper solution is needed. And no, I cannot give one off the top of my head. Nor am I qualified to do so. But even laymen to an area can see potential flaws if they are obvious.

Every white person has a white privilege and thus is racist and benefits from white supremacy. Same difference. The left doesn't hate white people, they just hate 90% of them.

Colorblindness (aka. not being racist by the old definition) is considered white supremacy.

"There's only one human race" is white supremacy.

"All Lives Matter" is white supremacy.

"Cultural appropriation" is white supremacy.

Being an "ally" is white supremacy.

Meritocracy is white supremacy.

Celebrating Columbus Day is white supremacy.

Being attracted to people of your own race is white supremacy.

Questioning the white privilege theory in the first place is white supremacy.

I'm not saying "OMG China is evil..." I'm suggesting that the Silicon Valley Gleichschaltung, of All Heavy Industry Is Evil and we'll just ignore the fact that we haven't banished it from the world, just exported it from the United States to China, all the while pretending to save the world from global warming, has been a huge contributor to the process.

But then we’re immediately in the anti-consumer user anxiety inducing situation we were in before — where you don’t know where or how to keep these things up to date or secure or remember where that license key is or how to cancel the subscription or etc.

I deal with this with several dozen other tools on the Mac each using random store and key schemes. Lately I throw in the towel and switch to inferior tools in the app store if I can’t dig up the secret codes to the legacy hoops their devs want me to jump through. Charge me 30% more, no problem, just stop making me waste my time for things that are now solved problems.

This overall simplification and end-to-end trusted curation direction is a minority but well heeled part of the market (happy to spend money on apps if it doesn’t waste their time), and a sort of grand experiment in what users want. If users want a free for all, the majority of the market is still buying those handsets. If not, the option to have a handheld appliance should be available to those who want it.

Seems a shame to appeal to regulation to stomp on user choice where customers speak with their wallets that “please don’t make me think”.

Probably the best thing to do is set the access count limit to one. That way, no one else will be able to access it after the intended recipient does. And if a 3rd party accesses it before the intended recipient, then the intended recipient will not be able to access it and at least you'll have an indication that it was intercepted.
