This is an excellent summary of a lot of the kickback and risk for Elon.

I think if Elon had gone to, say, the UN and tried to start a discussion about this stuff more generally to establish some ground rules for SpaceX and others, it would have been much better received. It would've given a forum to those affected - communities around the world and astronomers and other satellite operators - where none exists. Some discussions around things like target albedos, orbital parameters, and constellation sizes could've been had before a single bird went up. This would've also made life easier for other operators now working out how to dodge the Starlink constellation on the regular.

But Elon is not that sort of person, which is the great tragedy in all this. Maybe you have to be a screw-the-rest, I'm-going-to-do-it kind of person to succeed as he has (or just inherit a huge pile of cash, or maybe both). But it strikes me that as a strategy he's opted to go it alone until regulators start to step in, which is unlikely in this industry for a while given the global nature.

I think it will take something akin to the blocking of satellite uplinks (that brought the UN into international satellite operations somewhat, and effectively designated such jamming as an offensive act of war) to actually bring regulatory scrutiny to bear. The loss of ground-based astronomy isn't a big enough issue - yet - to justify the engagement. But if these constellations get bigger and bigger and the impact gets larger and larger, then that impact will add up. All we've had so far is the "early warnings" from those paying attention to the early deployments.

I think Starlink and its competitors are a very important short-term part of the global internet access discussion, but it's not a long-term fix; constant satellite launches, maintenance, and deorbiting will not be viable cost-wise over the 20-40 years most fibre installations expect to be around for at a minimum. Fibre will eventually reach everywhere - wireline operators across the globe are seeing Starlink as a short-term thing which may paradoxically make it much harder to justify rolling out a proper fix to the hardest to reach, and which may cause governments to deploy subsidy to offset the risk. In the USA it's a bit mad and distorted because of the insane market that regulators have allowed, but in the EU/UK and most of Asia, govts are making sure full fibre gets to everyone (slowly, in many cases, but it is speeding up rapidly these days).

Just like nuclear, this is a perfectly good stop-gap. But the right answer is renewables - everyone knows it - it's just a matter of timing.
The article don't mention that is the first known narcosub that was being build directly in Europe. Is a further step in this arms race.

Is there any evidence that TikTok's popularity is due to their non-compliance with regulations, and not just being a novelty and them having lots of money to bankroll such a service without annoying the users with ads like FB does?
Low pricing was Amazon's moat. Then the tech bubble crashed and they had to raise prices. Then AWS came along and pricing for non-AWS services didn't matter a thing as AWS margins were so high Amazon could do whatever it wanted in other business lines.

UK parliament petition: Make verified ID a requirement for social media account
My claim is actually fairly mild, it's not "abject speculation" to say that there's nontrivial biological causes behind political belief. The introduction just summarized five decades of peer reviewed research claiming to show that it plays such a role.

That this evidence hasn't (yet) been subsumed into the theories of social scientists doesn't suddenly make it invalid for me to come to the rather mild conclusion that I've come to.

What is abject speculation is when you specifically assert as fact that 25 percent variation is high. This is a positive claim requiring its own burden of proof, and which contradicts some tentative evidence from twin studies.
When you make a website with web components you are subscribing to the model of a webpage as an executable application modifying the DOM rather than an HTML text document(1).

One example of where this goes wrong is if, say, you wanted to implement the indieweb protocols for p2p social networking. With webmentions it's a bit like pingback, but instead of just HTTP POST, the pinger has to have a link on his webpage linking to the pingee's URL. That means the pingee webmention implementation has to be able to parse a page and get the html. With webcomponents doing DOM stuff instead of having HTML text that webmentions implemention (and everything else) has to become really complex instead of a simple curl and parsing text.

(1) recent whatwg html standards say this is all fine and dandy because whatwg is run by corporations for corporate needs. But it isn't fine and the needs of applications are not the needs of documents.
> I've seen multiple people quit their jobs to sell NFTs full-time.

Regardless of your view on NFTs, haven't they been "a thing" for like a week now? Perhaps I'm just too risk averse but that feels like a very low amount of data to make such a large decision on
Not OP, but there are plenty of examples out there:

On how much personal it is, lol.
Yup. Ditto here. I'm a "Zebra" style founder (as in Zebras not Unicorns) and love what TinySeed's doing. My wife and I are LPs in TinySeed, too.

Really sad that Indie.vc's LPs weren't willing to even wait the usual judging period that venture funds get (often 5-7yrs, sometimes more) before determining that they "didn't want to exposure to those types of assets."
Killing Saddam didn't require locking all the Baathists in prison together with other criminals and letting them foment revolution. Killing Saddam didn't require trying to hand control back over to the Iraqis way too early, over and over again.

We killed Hitler and it's been a net good because we're still in Germany making sure 80 years later. If we'd planned for something similar in Iraq we might not have fucked it up so badly.
Google and Facebook's tracking consent flows do not comply with the GDPR.

All the mobile apps that implement tracking & analytics SDK do not comply unless they request explicit consent.

You can start there. The GDPR's spirit is great but the entities tasked with enforcing it are absolutely incompetent.
Is it bias when you have an opinion and share it? The article can contain some of the reasons he's anti-nuclear, instead of the other way around, where his bias causes him to write the article.
that's pretty much what the comment above is saying. Bootstrapped founders may take money, if they aren't told "you need rocket growth now"
Why is moderation required on a platform like twitter? If somebody makes offensive tweets who forces you to view their page? If some group of people openly plot criminal activity why not let the civil authorities prosecute them for their crimes? I don't get the impulse to control free speech online.

For whatever reason, some times I search for (lots of) emails in public oss mailing lists. In the last 1-2 years I have found some emails that Google just won't find. Bing does.

So yeah, my impression is that Google is getting worse. And it's not just search. I'm planning to abandon gmail, and it's not just because of privacy.
Sure, looking to right the forces my view away from the direction the vehicle's traveling to see information about that movement. A HUD does not.
>The Inquirer is committed to making the changes required to be an actively anti-racist news organization. Removing comments is a step in the right direction

Further confirming the pattern that the greater the freedom (of speech), the greater the tendency right. Think of any social media company or news outlet and its relationship between censorious zeal and sociopolitical bias is likely to fit this trend.

So much so that it's become a bit of a meme on the far right any time an egregious propaganda piece is published to simply joke: "Comments disabled"

Perhaps it's even seen as a trophy of sorts, that a publisher has conceded their position, they've shown their hand, and the opinions they share may now be immediately dismissed. So fragile are they that they cannot even permit the possibility of critique, ridicule, or debate.

A yardstick for progressive bias: are comments disabled?
You know who else liked a good night's sleep and a hot coffee in the morning? Hitler!

Oh, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed quite a few of the others - Valvrave was a glorious trainwreck, IBO finally committed to and even doubled-down on subverting the expectations of gunota, and Majestic Prince was a solid action dramedy that proved CG mecha was viable and beautifully prefaced Orange's work on Houseki no Kuni and Beastars.

I dunno where we go after TTGL as far as Super Robot goes. It finally defined and crystallized the essence of that genre - the GAR - and in its thorough reconstruction didn't leave much room. You basically have to introduce real elements to not be a retread. I am glad we got Pacific Rim, that was close. If Super Robot gets its character from emotional directness and intensity, you might have to follow TTGL with something more Ideon or Bokurano-like, turned up to 11.
Don't the people of those countries deserve a way to defend the infrastructure they build?

And no, investing in things like that for a country rarely helps. Instead either buy or sell products to them, that necessitates a road but now market forces determine where it should go. Pay your employees enough and let them build a school that teaches what they want.
it's a gimmick run by a bunch of crypto insiders swapping tokens amongst themselves (acquired for fractions of pennies) at highly inflated valuations which they themselves bid up under cover of pseudo-anonymous shell identities.

the point, which is entirely rational from their perspective, is to attract media attention and thus new sources of unsophisticated money to crypto.

It's the standard ICO scam model, but tweaked to suit an even juicier demographic.

I have an LTE access point, it's a pretty bad experience. For one, latency is very high. It's so laggy over SSH that it's basically unusable, and you can forget any VOIP apps with how choppy it is. Speeds are serviceable, but it doesn't really matter since I can't buy an LTE access point without a data cap.
To be fair, the ICO is absolutely incompetent and does not seem to care about enforcing the GDPR. I've reported things much worse than non-compliant consent prompts and the best I got out of them was to send a letter to the organization after months of waiting, which the organization promptly ignored.
MacBook Air isn't marketed as a "Gaming" laptop, nor would anyone buy it as such. Claiming it's compromised because it's not great for gaming is like claiming the Xbox is compromised because it's not good at video editing.
If you give them a real email account as they sign up, they'll have one.

So for example, I want to sign up at tuti.study and you generate a random email address like j9u6iilejixzs3f6ba9k6stoo@tuti.study for me.

Then I would have a real email account. If you want, you could restrict it to sending email to/from the service. You could use Zimbra for it I suppose.

If that isn't good enough, then sorry, I have to suspect you are planning something nefarious.
I have more questions.

This paper is actually written by a Czech academic. It is hosted on the WHO website, but that tells us nothing. Do they endorse the paper, or do they just host it because it was referenced? What does the WHO actually have to say about RO water?

When I google "revere osmosis health problems" I get mostly conspiracy sites and "natural healing" bloggers trying to sell me crystals. The only MD opinions I can find say there is no substantial evidence of concern. Can you cite a medical professional's opinion?

Are you just googling narrowly to support your opinion and then throwing PDFs at me? That seems to be the case.
Launching a simple transcript based video editor soon
Okay, so my co-founder and I are launching a simple online video editor that lets users edit using the transcript (i.e. use words to edit).

It lets users auto transcribe, then use transcript (use words) to edit, delete, slice videos and automate subtitles.

Users can then easily spin into other content, like podcasts and articles.

That's the basic idea for now, and hopefully we can do a good job of really differentiating our selves much more as we get traction and more users.

We're about a month out from releasing the first version, so a lot of nail biting happening! But if you do any audio/visual content for your business, you might want to sign up to our early-beta program @ https://imvidu.com.

Otherwise, I'd love to hear your thoughts, if not, wish us luck!
I think the point is that there are enough outlets, and the barriers creating them are so low, that you, Guthur, could create one with the threshold you wish. If others agreed it would become popular.

And that seems to be the position of the Inquirer (and nj.com that they reference): they are outsourcing comments to Twitter, FB etc)
making comments subscriber-only would at least alleviate the "paywall" issue.
I'd recommend reading through the guide (at least the first part) for a better understanding but in short no.

Signal without a Business Associate agreement to handle PHI would be either be considered limited/incidental or as a conduit and not on the hook for PHI data going through them incidentally the risk would stay with the entities using it not Signal itself (and certainly not absolved).

Secondly it doesn't matter if data was only "in flight" when leaked and not stored. I.e. the availability of the protected information is what is regulated.

Thirdly Signal DOES store user data for up to quite a long time as it proxies the delivery of messages, just in an encrypted form (a plus for meeting requirements though) it's not supposed to be able to read and supposedly deletes it after it no longer needs to hold onto it.

Finally if someone hacked the Signal servers and a bug in the encryption was found or you forgot to check the conversation verification code and were being MITMd then it's still a violation anyways. That is you're good until you aren't - the encryption only protects you while it worked not because you tried (though if it is found you didn't have any encryption on some data that in itself is a fineable offense).
Broken clock shows the right time twice a day. Biased people being correct is an exception, not the rule. We should be suspicious of people with know biases.
Assume Linux license cost 0. Assume windows OEM license cost 600. Assume the end user pays the 600 for the windows license. Assume windows install earns X for other reasons. Unless X > 600 windows version would cost more, and earn more than Linux version?

I Can Hack Now
I have been using neural-enhance (gh:alexj) and Topaz tools to upscale PAL/NTSC artworks the last three years and would not be so judicious in describing these tools. They are hallucinating what the model assumes an upscaled image should look like and not enhancing in any way as the word is understood. The original image ceases to exist. A more honest term might be “Render As Upscaled” or “Generate Higher Resolution Image” (likewise “ML”, not “AI”).

When playing around funny things happen too: recursive upscale/sharpen and analogue artifacts begin resembling topography, molten metal etc.

Now imagine this being fitted into military drones, which it almost certainly is.
That was fixed a while ago. I was able to replace the default wifi adapter on my T460s with a cannibalized Airport card, and it surprisingly worked.
I think it is you missing the most interesting aspect. It's very interesting to know if deepfake has gotten to the stage of mass adoption such that your typical suburban soccer mom (presumably with low tech skills) can easily create convincing fakes about as easily as manipulating an image with photoshop. That would be quite terrifying with many social implications
Yes, there is definitely a lack of enforcement. The annoying consent flows people complain about and blame on the GDPR are actually forbidden by it and news of any enforcement actions would quickly scare most websites into implementing an actually compliant one.
Yep, mine at https://twitter.com/hn_frontpage got hit as well
The only positive claim I intended on making here is that you've put all your eggs into a highly speculative and niche area of psychology that has little institutional backing, and is far from well understood right now.

Anything else I've said was to counter your own positive claims. If I wasn't clear about that, I apologize.

And while now you may have backed into a more reasonable stance, we started this conversation with you comparing "improving your ability to change and grow" to "gay conversion therapy" which is laughably wrong.
My comment was specifically about forcing a drivers eyes off the road. A touchscreen does this and buttons do not. However, I agree voice controls and a HUD does solve this problem better than button.
I'm imagining giant solar fins with substantial mass...
My understanding is this is extremely difficult short of killing myself. Using a car, the internet, a smartphone, electricity...You're tied into industries that are simply not carbon neutral. How much electricity is used when you browse the internet loading the 15,000 JS files and ad networks/trackers everywhere? How much energy (i.e battery % on a phone) is wasted per human, per day for absolutely pointless nonsense?

I think I need to be forced into changes, such as having to buy an electric car, or being made to walk due to driving being made illegal. If I can enhance my life whilst I get the chance to do so during my time on earth I will, unless I am prevented from doing so. I always opt for what is beneficial to me (and, judging by the sheer number of cars on the road, I am not alone in this).

Otherwise, I freely admit I have little desire to put effort into pretending I can somehow help the planet - that's the job of governments to set the policies society needs to accept, we either do it together or not at all.

I want to be as anti-carbon-neutrality as possible until it's illegal for me to cause pollution in any way (due to a shift in opinion and generating harmful emissions being 100% illegal and punishable by jail).
It's highly depend on your hardware.

For this render I used 10+ y/o laptop w/ CPU P4 Dual-Core + integrated GPU Radeon Xpress 1250 (Blender was running in `software-gl` mode) — as a result this model rendered in few hours ( ^_^;)
Enforcement on the ground is one way to do it, but by going through the legal route they may be able to prevent SpaceX or anyone else from even offering a service in China. No need to hunt down rouge dishes in China if the FCC in the United States does not allow SpaceX to violate other country's laws.

It's kind of a weird situation. I mean, it's space, so you'd think you'd be outside of any legal jurisdiction and be able to get away with whatever, but actually satellites and radio communication are heavily regulated and subject to international agreements and treaties.
The service is awesome.

In Placerville California our service went from Calnet 10mbps down at 28ms latency to Starlink 160mbps down at 24ms latency.

This is a really big deal and will disrupt a lot of these shitty ISPs that have done nothing for years.

Also, still tracking for my 2021 predictions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25601473

Edit: Price is only $99/month with one up front cost for the hardware ($500).

Upload is currently only 15mbps, but should improve.

Elon says we should see 300mbps soon and less than 20ms ping (iirc).
I have great difficulty in regarding BitCoin as 'real'. The same way that I have difficulty in regarding paper tokens (currency, share certificates, gold certificates, etc) as 'real'. Those paper tokens have ZERO real intrinsic value, no matter what numbers can be printed on them.

Examples where the zero 'paper'value is reflected in what the tokens represent: Zimbabwe and Confederate banknotes, share certificates in non-existent companies, deeds to nationalised land, etc.

BitCoin is really just a set of numbers, no different to the very simplistic "2 + 2", and having no more intrinsic value than that.
So less than $1 per month for prophylaxis.
