Not really. Coordination takes resources, doesn't scale and increases the risk of human error. A predefined set of rules making encounters predictable are way better. Like we have done for ships [0] and aircraft [1]. Any time you have to actively communicate with the other party you have not made your intentions clear enough.

I.e. a transferring satellite gives way to an operational which gives way to a disabled. (Of course it's more involved than this, including predictable avoidance maneuvers, but that's would be the basic gist of it.)

The difference isn’t the collateral, a personal loan like a credit card is unsecured.

It’s how you calculate the payment. In a loan it doesn’t matter how much money I make, I owe what I owe.

In the proposed equity arrangement I owe a percentage of my income. If I don’t make anything, I don’t owe anything. If I’m the next Musk, I owe billions.
If we take a step back, you have said that "we will be on 1gb ethernet forever" "because of the physical limits and energy" and that people will need to "invent new physics they are only executable in an environment of energy abundance".

I then point out that 2.5gb pcie cards cost $20, usb dongles cost $30 and a switch costs $120 (with everything using the power of a few light bulbs at most).

Instead of confronting this or saying something that makes sense, you say that I'm stalking you, call my user name 'bad', then say that you are going to 'get me banned'.

Did I miss anything?
> lack of objectivity and critical thinking in public statements

Let’s try and put things into perspective: RMS defends his tech bro while obviously not giving a single fuck about the abuse victims.
A few press outlets blatantly misunderstand RMS’s words and frame the story so it looks like RMS defended child abuse.

Not everyone has the time to fact-check everything. That’s why we have the press. We all make mistakes. A mistake (if it was one) committed by a small group of people doesn’t mean critical thinking is dead in everyone.
My phone has been at compute parity with my i5 Macbook air for at least the last two phones I've had. I've also been able to plug my phone in to a monitor/keyboard using the same usb-c dock I use for the air and be pretty productive in a pinch. Love the idea of having a real desktop environment instead of Android, though.

It would be more of a triumph if those $30 flights were not using leaded fuel, or if there was at least some lead pollution task to encourage people to take different transit options until the airline industry figures it out.

I think, it was much less of a problem, when many less planes were flying.

-- Correction in the comment, Jet-A has no lead. Cursory research suggests its nasty products are mostly organics rather than heavy metals, which is much less bad. Thanks!

> Why would this support either hypothesis?

So why did you bring it up? The observation doesn't support zoonotic hypothesis at all, although it could support lab leak if we assume GOF was done on a natural or modified virus with a higher IFR rate, such as the ones known to be present in Tongguan where WIV sampled RaTG13.

Similarly -- it isn't clear why you are talking about the cleavage site. You appear to think it argues against some sort of hypothesis. But you haven't stated what you think the most credible lab-leak scenario is and why. It isn't even clear that COV came from RaTG13.
Presumably the entries in the beta file will be moved to it once they are out of beta.
If a Starlink satellite fails the drag alone will deorbit it within five years or so. (this actually happens, they used to have 5% failure rate)

Of course a collision event is chaotic. The debris is catapulted in all directions, changing the orbit. But because of how orbital mechanics works their new orbit will still pass through their old orbit, so every piece of debris will deorbit eventually (unless it impacts something else first).

Being so low reduces the risk considerably, and even with a couple thousand satellites more we are talking about mostly empty space.
I wonder if this was actually the best way to accomplish this. From some of the other comments it seems like the reason the flights are less expensive is because of airline subsidies. Maybe the lawmakers didn’t have the powers to affect the subsidies but had the power to enact a law? I also wonder if this will have the side effect of clogging the trains routes with too many people. It’s been my experience that when lawmakers bend to environmentalists and special interests it always negatively affects the common folk who’s focus is providing for their families or simply surviving and don’t wield the necessary political influence to make their voices heard.
I wonder if it is Israel again. Maybe with the blessing of the US this time?
The link to the study is waaaaay at the bottom in a gray box titled 'More information'. But yeah, just another pop science article.
Just put a large tax if the short, domestic flight isn't a connecting flight.

Short, domestic flight by itself: 100€

Short, domestic flight part of an international itinerary: +30€

It'll mostly work itself out.
Population in France is much more concentrated around Paris than population in Germany is. The Paris metro area accounts for 20% of France's population, while you need the biggest three metro areas in Germany to get to that percentage. Also Germany has double the population density, so even the less dense parts have more people.

I don’t get it. This “leaked” information looks like something that would be displayed on a public website for each user. As far as I can see it’s just public information, like user names and avatars on e.g. stack overflow.
It's also that they've become a lot more strict on that rule over the years (which doesn't even make sense, since google doesn't do contextual ads anymore)
They almost did. Market owners decided they won’t have it that way, as they should or there would be many more losers.

Ask HN: VR Sickness
I just experienced severe VR sickness after only 3 scenes, less than a few minutes of exposure. I never have any other kinds of motion sickness, nor vertigo, so this was an unwelcome surprise!

I read that 40-70% of people have symptoms after extended use. I couldn't find a figure for how many have an immediate reaction like me.

I'm wondering... How can this technology possibly attract the kind of investment and attention it does, when it is apparently incompatible with human sensory input processing?

Other studies show that the effects are much less for young people and much worse for women. Again, I was surprised to find this out, and I'm wondering what HN readers are thinking/doing about it.
Sick leave, masking, vacation scheduling, and vaccination requirements would make a huge degree of progress.
LOL, you clearly haven't had to travel CDG <=> center of Paris by train very often.

What you say is true (there is a train), but the quality of service is so bad (strikes, trains late or overcrowded, broken ticket machines, broken escalators, PITA to go from gate to train terminal) that most people who can afford it would rather be stuck in freeway jams in a taxi than consider taking the train.
Agreed. This is the type of low information popular press I visit HN to avoid...

I've considered dyscalculia in the past, but it seems to be more a fundamental inability to understand numbers at all. That article even directly lists having trouble with math CONCEPTS, and basic things like which of two numbers is bigger, rather that constantly making small errors in arithmetic.
The flaw is that young idealistic techies and would-be business people keep making the mistake of believing you can grow a large multinational corporation that doesn't end up becoming at least slightly evil. The evil is inherent in the scale and structure of these entities and it comes from the bureaucracy of many competing and self-defeating business incentives and the ultimate decision/realization that "making more money" is the only sane holistic goal to globally optimize for. Simply deciding that your company will contribute to open source or have some motto like "don't be evil" is not enough to avert this pitfall.
Unfortunately such device does not currently exist. If you want it to be developed you better support the existing GNU/Linux phones...

Perhaps the next Librem 5 batch "Fir" will have more RAM: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Freque... (and you can preorder it now).
In 2017, only the top of the line flagship phones would have 4, 6 or 8gb of RAM. 3GB was used in a lot of "flagship killer" phones because Android still ran well with 2GB and 3GB would give you 80% of the benefit of a $1200 phone for $250.
More of this, is exactly the competition Apple needs.

Why doesn’t Google make an on-device Android studio?

Yes - it is suspected to be a joint project. We will never really know though as neither side will ever admit to it.
Not all of them.

Practically all space debris collisions in LEO will be hypervelocity collisions (the kinetic energy of the impact is greater than the explosive energy released by the same mass of TNT)

When collision happens in LEO, some fragments gain more velocity than the colliding satellites. They may end up in higher orbits where they can stay for a very long time.
The amount of RAM is not the weakness of this device. The issue is the very outdated chipset (Allwinner A64) and its Mali 400 GPU (no GLES 3 support for instance).

Let's hope the pinephone2 will fix all that!
Songs for the Philologists
"Songs for the Philologists is a collection of poems by E. V. Gordon and J. R. R. Tolkien as well as traditional songs. It is the rarest and most difficult to find Tolkien-related book. Originally a collection of typescripts compiled by Gordon in 1921–1926 for the students of the University of Leeds, it was given by A. H. Smith of University College London, a former student at Leeds, to a group of students to be printed privately in 1935 or 1936, and printed in 1936 with the impressum 'Printed by G. Tillotson, A. H. Smith, B. Pattison and other members of the English Department, University College, London.'

Since Smith had not asked permission of either Gordon or Tolkien, the printed booklets were not distributed. Most copies were destroyed in a fire, and only a few, perhaps around 14, survived."

It seems to me that that argument could be made for any appreciating asset class.

With tax law, I'd say that the West is covering new ground in the last 100 years. Multiple mitts in the pie of legislation who all want something different (money, partial control of the taxee, veering of social goals) resulting in increasingly arcane rule sets, edge conditions resulting in tax court decisions with yet more fuzziness on the outlines.

There is such a thing as a perpetual (consol) bond although it's rare. What happens is that, over time, inflation erodes the real value of the payments. (And at that point, it looks a lot like equity with a contractually fixed dividend payout. Debt and equity can look a lot like each other.)

And, if this is a lifetime thing, this is just a form of annuity which are fairly common. (Give someone $X and they promise to pay you $Y annually for your lifetime (or other term)). There are also annuities that track the value of some investment pool like an endowment.
It shows the path to that. At least it can be programmed.
I mean, that's just not true. The basic VS Code install will tell you the line and column numbers in the status bar without any plugins.

Usually, the only plugins I need to install is the language server plugin for whatever language I'm using. At least, that works for Go and Python while Node and JS/TS work right out of the box.
> SpaceX’s automated system for avoiding satellite collisions has sparked controversy, raising concerns from other satellite operators who say they have no way of knowing which way the system will move a Starlink satellite in the event of a close approach.

For aircraft, we have TCAS RA, which tells each pilot in which direction they should move, with the knowledge that the other aircraft has been told to move in the opposite direction. It might be time to consider something like that for satellites.
Also seeing the behavior with recent The New Yorker articles.
The huge benefit comes in when your project involves loading large datasets or talking to cloud APIs. Both cases can be a non-starter on a local Mac (no local disk space, no bandwidth, or the latency overhead of a 100 ms RTT vs. 5 ms RTT adding up over thousands of requests). I would also point out that Docker on Mac is far less efficient than Docker on Linux, since it runs a separate VM.

VS Code Remote is a game changer. It's how IDEs should work. It allows you to run all the GUI chrome locally for responsive editing, while letting the remote do all the heavy lifting (including building, debugging, testing, and deploying). It finally overcomes the latency and other usability issues of using a wimpy local box to connect to a powerful remote box to write software.

I never used VS Code much and otherwise prefer JetBrains myself. But the remote development extension changed my workflow permanently, and I now recommend it to all my colleagues who develop cloud/data intensive code.
I was just thinking why there isnt a place to find those apps.
Do you really need a photo of a goat? I'm not the author so I wouldn't really know, but if you have aa picture of the back of a goat in shade and you're considering destructively resizing it to save space, maybe it's the fact that it's a mediocre photo of the back of a goat that's the issue, and not the size.

If you really want to come back in the future and reflect on your fond memories of seeing the back of a goat, keep the original size and store it in cheap cold storage. If not, maybe get rid of it?

Actually you do. You've demonstrated them in this very comment. Maybe you don't realize this, or maybe your self-deprecation is a deliberate part of your strategy. Either way, it worked on me.

We can also adapt to one-trick politicians
We are living through a huge social experiment where one voice can easily reach hundreds if not thousands of people in a matter of minutes. It is important to remember that this is unprecedented. Never before have individuals had this power. In the past you could stand on a box with a bullhorn, if you had a permit or the backing of hundreds or thousands of like-minded followers. Or, you could write a letter to the editor, and your editorial might get printed. But only after careful consideration.

The fact that now anyone can speak to a large audience by typing in a few random thoughts with no challenge or editing is a very radical change to public speech. I suspect that there will always need to be some form of “filtering” required even with our new media for speech. I love free speech, but humans are fallible.

The mechanism for editing this new type of speech is a work in progress. I agree that improvements are needed. It’s a big responsibility.
Since I don't often see UE4 related posts on the HN front page but love the technical community here, gonna go ahead and take the opportunity to ask what people in the industry think about current job opportunities for entry level folks transitioning from web development work.

I know the old story about conditions being worse and avoiding turning your passion into your job/hell, but anyone able to chime in?

I'm working on a VR game as a learning experience and using UE4 with the hope that as AR/VR grows more popular over the next decade I'll have set myself up for moving to the field, but I don't know how early I might be able to make that move or how quickly opportunities are growing. A few years ago my hope was that by now VR would have grown to the point that some of the digital agencies here in NY would have work doing branded VR experiences or some type of VR work for non-gaming related VR uses / for non-technology companies. But I haven't necessarily seen VR roles popping up at agencies / marketing firms.

Anyone with any insight on VR or UE4 job market general trends?

> Aviation is simply much more efficient.

Efficient, how? It uses much more energy, makes more noise and creates more pollution.

The speed has very little to do with the funding model. Flights were still faster in the 1970s when many state-owned airlines operated, and trains are little different when private companies run them (see: several European countries).
> Also, he definitely cares a lot about abused women. I opened a random month of his political notes yesterday and just searched "women" to verify that I am not insane.

The amount of harm that RMS’s actions have inflicted to women (and by extension, to the whole industry) is not to be found in his PR statements. Even if we assume RMS never meant to harm people, people have been calling out his behavior for many years. Yet, RMS never made it a priority to acknowledge the issue and fix his behavior.
Actions speak louder than political statements.

Most tax avoidance has nothing to do with ambiguous tax law. Most of it is very specific. And if something isn’t specific enough, we already have regulatory agencies who regularly exercise the power to further clarify them.

A company moving their income from one location to another to take advantage of lower tax rates is no different than the current exodus of remote-working tech workers from the coasts to lower tax areas.

People make decisions based on the law. This isn’t a bad thing, this is what we hope and expect to happen. If the laws do not produce the desired effect, that’s the fault of the legislature, not those following it.
That is not correct. To actually end up in an orbit with both higher apoapsis and periapsis another collision would need to happen higher upp, which then would raise the periapsis. Otherwise it would simply be an elliptic orbit still passing through the altitude which the collision happened at.

An elliptic orbit may slow the decay though, but contrast this with the larger surface to weight ratio of smaller pieces and it should not really matter.
The same way as cheap gas is a market failure. Externalities are not properly paid for (or they're paid by the public rather than the parties of the transaction). To be fair, things like jet fuel being VAT free is a policy failure rather than market failure.
