The two satellites involved are:

OPS 6182 (10820, 1978-042A): https://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=10820

SL-8 R/B (12443, 1981-041B): https://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=12443

They are on head-on course. With a probability of about 80 percent they will miss each other. With a probability of more than 20 percent they will impact at a speed of more than 50000 km/h in an altitude of 780 km.

The two objects are not important (an old Russian rocket piece and an old US weather satellite).

But upon impact, the objects will create a large cloud of debris, that might collide with more objects, in the worst case in a chain reaction.

The danger is not falling debris, but that they will produce more damage in their orbit, maybe hitting more essential space equipment in the future.

No need to hide in a bunker.
My theory is that rich people and well-educated people vote according to self-interest, but poor and non-educated people according to identity. Billionaires votes for whoever lowers their taxes, academics for whoever secures them, often tax-funded, jobs, but poor people for whoever they like personally.

I'm positive that education was strongly correlated with voting in favor of unionization. This is something the left everywhere struggles with enormously. When poor people are too dumb to vote according to their own self-interest, the left's worldview falls down. The left then claims that poor people are brainwashed by capitalist propaganda. Yeah, maybe, but it can't explain completely disastrous results like this unionization vote.

Misguided people will claim that unionization is not in the self-interest of most workers. Those people are wrong as there are about a billion studies showing that unionization improves both salaries and working conditions. For example: https://www.epi.org/publication/briefingpapers_bp143/ The science is incredibly clear-cut and these workers who voted against unionization voted against their own self-interest.

Can you break that down a bit for those of us less-informed? Looking at an earnings report[0] it looks like the vast majority of their revenue (about 90%) comes from "subscription", which I assumed was mostly for their products sold via subscription models. Is there somewhere that breaks down how much of that subscription revenue is from ad analytics and data?

Wouldn't Docker still need a VM for Linux containers on any non-Linux OS? My understanding is that it uses the host's kernel, so running it on macOS would always require a VM.

Did Singapore recently have a wave of obesity that I hadn’t heard about?

If step one wasn’t “first, develop proletarian class consciousness in an mature capitalist society”, they probably implemented Leninist ideas, not Marxist ideas about anything. Marxism is, at its core and explicitly, path dependent.

Maybe the zero-day isn't disclosed from this pwn2own itself, but importantly, we now know it exists, which means we should consider how many bad actors are already independently aware of it and are exploiting it.

GOG Galaxy 2.0 is also an Electron app, so it bundles the whole Chromium as well. The whole app is over 100 MB IIRC, but nobody cares since you'll be using it to download 100 GB games anyway.

I haven't used `temporal_tables` but I have built similar temporal systems on Postgres in the past. (Judging by https://github.com/arkhipov/temporal_tables#usage at least.)

The trouble with these sorts of approaches is that they solve temporality the same way we did in the 90s: Add an `entity_history` table, timestamp your tx-time and valid-time, and add a trigger to version your entities. This must be done for each entity you want to version across your temporal plane.

It would appear that `temporal_tables` doesn't support bitemporality yet. It only has tx-time (system time). But even if it did, this approach doesn't help you with live data. Because the `entity` table corresponding to the `entity_history` table still permits destructive updates, temporal queries are always in the realm of audits and can't answer questions about the application data directly. Add to that a completely manual system of querying the temporal information, and the resulting systems tend to get quite hairy, which is why Martin recommends avoiding bitemporality whenever you can. Unfortunately, that recommendation (while sound, for relational databases) means that bitemporality is expensive and manual if and when it's implemented.

A bitemporal database like Crux encodes the temporal plane into all the data stored in it, making it transparent to the user. There's no up-front setup cost to bitemporality and a query's default time on both time axes is "now", allowing the user to ignore temporality entirely except in those few instances where it is required -- but when it is required, it is global.
I couldn't agree more. That's true of anyone who served in WW2 of course, from naval officer to an RMP like my grandfather, but that doesn't diminish his contribution.

Which is a good reason to be a little skeptical. The amount is off by an order of magnitude.
Most desktop OSes came about (or at least have their roots in) a pre-internet world, where you install software from discs you purchased at the store, or if you're feeling gutsy, from media your friend hands you in real-life. They assume you have a great amount of trust in every piece of code you run on your computer (and anyway, how will malware exfiltrate your data without an always-on network connection?).

Things like Windows Defender and Snap and the recent macOS hardening efforts are patchwork solutions to try and cope with the modern world, but they'll never really be enough because these systems can't be fundamentally re-thought; they have to keep doing everything everybody already expects them to do. Only brand new OSes really get the chance to do things right, and only the mobile ones really had the opportunity to gain wide adoption.
HN is very consistently anti-union.

My question is this: Where did you get information about unions? Because people keep mentioning their "bad reputation" and then start listing off a bunch of "facts" that read like they're bullets straight out of one of those anti-union videos during onboard at several major employers (Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc).

So anti-union people exactly where does your information come from? If it is grapevine, what was the original source?
The lack of enforcement incentivises poor people to criminalize themselves, which makes them easier for authorities to manage.

There are many solutions to bike theft, but the only reasonable conclusion is that it is in fact not a problem. There is no amout of data, stories, or pressure that will make it a priority because it is specifically something that is managed. Police can increase and decrease enforcement of it at their absolute discretion, while tolerating it in neighbourhoods where they wish to.

I was a serious urban cyclist 25 years ago, and participated in Critical Mass rides and alleycat races and the activist culture that ultimately yielded the bikelanes we have today, but I've switched to a car and motorcycle because they're just better, and I don't want to participate in what that culture has become. I have little sympathy for bike thieves or people who loot cars and the stories about desperation from people who anecdotally go ballistic at other kinds of victim blaming, so long as it's not the victims of an actual crime.

As someone who lives in a city that has snow 6 months a year, and has a huge rate of bike theft and car breakins, do you know what you can leave on your porch year round that will never get stolen? Shovels and brooms. When snow shovels and brooms aren't safe, I'll engage in the conversation about poverty, but until then, bike theft is just predatory opportunism.

> ETA: Saying imperialist tendencies are worse in Russia and PRC than the US is mindboogling. Russia and PRC does a lot of bad things but they are light-years behind the US in imperialism.

Russia, in the last decade, annexed a region of another country. China is in the active process of annexing a region of the South China Sea for resources and using its newfound economic strength to project its power via the Belt and Road initiative.

I think you're focused on avoiding cultural hegemony to the actual detriment of the liberty of mankind. These are not countries that even pretend to have liberty as a core tenet - being an outspoken critic in both places is dangerous, Russia even flexed its power and killed people in the UK!

I'd rather eat McDonalds for the rest of my short, fat life than be at risk for being killed for being an outspoken critic of the government.
> $600 a year isn't expensive for software for a US professional worker.

It's expensive for what a lot of those workers use it for. In the pre-SAAS days, companies would handle this by having an few license and not necessarily following the upgrade churn.

Going SAAS only "solved" that for Adobe, but disgruntled that user base that is now no longer served. This obviously creates market room.

$600 is nothing for a worker who is going to be in a software an appreciable part of every week. When it's $600 here, $300 there, $1000 here for stuff they only use a few times a month? Not a good deal.
That's somewhat more comforting, but alas, hope alone is not a strategy.

Excellent explanation, thanks very much!
Yeah I can think of lots of reasons for this loss.

1. It's always harder to get people to vote to change the status quo. Even if people think the change is going to be good, people are usually risk averse so you need to work harder to change things vs stay the same.

2. Their general opinion about unions is poor.

3. Their specific opinion about this union and the unionization effort is poor.

4. Dues were too high vs benefits.

5. Worry about retaliation from Amazon.

6. I imagine a lot of people don't really think of their Amazon warehouse job as a career. Most people working there probably only plan to do it for a few years, in which case the value of union membership falls dramatically.

Just some ideas.

Ha, just pulled it out of the original Fast Company article linked. Didn't know about it, but was curious what sort of issue they would include this kind of article in. Interesting times mid/late 90s. (I was there, but I wasn't reading Fast Company! lol)

Also went back in HN archives to see what commentary there was about the original - as Dang likes to point out, surprisingly little commentary here and there tho there's some discussion like 10 months ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23537530
I think what it means is 50 years ago you had to be a doctor, lawyer, or high level business exec to be in that group. Today most of this forum is in the upper middle class as it has expanded into many professional occupations like software engineers, etc.

>We know that rodents enjoy running wheels because they use them voluntarily.

I can think of a lot of behaviors that humans engage in voluntarily that we would not call 'enjoyable', so I am not certain we can state this categorically.

I totally agree with the rest of your statement though, and I would add that people tend to overlook variety as well. Enjoyment is so key, and we tend to enjoy things that are novel. Relative to the cost of a gym membership, it's pretty reasonable to pick up a new activity/active hobby every so often to add to the mix. A plastic kayak, some old skis, a tennis racket. If you are saving 50-100 bucks a month by not paying for a gym, allow yourself the luxury of some new (to you) equipment every couple of months and keep things fresh.
Mac laptops are going to have some of the most advanced CPUs for a while now because Apple is buying all of TSMC's leading edge capacity.
Wonderful note about a most important mathematical physicist.

Unmentioned is his stumble in relativity theory: As Paul Nahin wrote,

Despite the ‘Einsteinian look’ of Heaviside's speed-dependent terms, his analysis was greatly lacking when compared with Einstein's. Heaviside started with moving charged matter and then applied some heavy mathematics to Maxwell's electrodynamics, while Einstein used nothing but the fundamental ideas of space and time, some simple algebra, and the two relativity principles (all physical laws look the same in all inertial frames, and observers in different inertial frames will measure the same value for the speed of light). Einstein's analysis is free of any special assumptions concerning electricity in particular and the nature of matter in general: to put it bluntly, Einstein saw the whole forest, while Heaviside and Thomson were looking through a magnifying glass at the bark on a single tree.

There are some serious gotchas like nix-env in this read I would like to delete. But, that said, I don't think targeting "drive by usesr" is worth it.

The benefits of Nix is that it dramatically organizes the absolute disgusting mess that is how most people manage their computer. I don't want to drive people trying things out away, but Nix will never be worth it unless you embrace it, and half-ways usage will deliver all the downsides without enough of the upsides.

Not every value function is monotonic like that, I am not going to pretend it's otherwise.

The goal is to help people fully embrace it, not to allow them to comfortably come to a stand-still half way.
> $500/mo

Is that actually accurate? Last I read, that number came from an Amazon propaganda website created to persuade voters away from unionizing.

I think that's the point of the person you replied to. An exceedingly minor issue such as "unreturned books" is used for sarcastic effect, but that implication that we should treat library loan violators in this way seems to indicate that our view of library loans should somehow be tied to or maintain consistency with our view of publicly espousing racism and/or sexism.

Bananas everywhere not tropical have this issue, but they're also picked very green and ripened locally. Container shipping is very efficient, so I'm not sure if this is really a problem. It's even possible that if you live near a major port, bananas have fewer emissions than apples that were trucked 400 miles.

I absolutely do not understand why someone would vote to be collectively represented instead of being able to act as as individual in your own best interest

You claim not voting for the union is against your own interest but that assumes that the union will 100% of the time be looking out for your own individual best interest, this is simply false

The union has supplanted individual choice for collective voting, and if your interests align with 50.1% of your fellow co workers than great but if your needs to not align with the majority of your co-workers then the union will screw you to serve the collective, and that is the best case.
Of course, the reason the UK no longer has closed shops is thanks to some aggressive (though probably necessary) union breaking by Thatcher. In fact, there's an argument to be made that the damage done by unions directly lead to Thatcher gaining power... The US seems to be heading in the opposite direction under Biden, with his infrastructure bill attempting to ban right-to-work laws in states and reinstate most of the practices Thatcher's union-breaking eliminated here. Could lead to some interesting times; most American Democrat supporters and HN readers are, like me, probably too young to have seen first-hand why those restrictions existed.
Well, of course there are. My mom used a bike for her first borne. She was poor. She had a lady in her apartment complex watch her daughter during work. She didn't really go out.

As soon as she could afford a car, she got one and her life expanded.

What do other families look like who have multiple kids and no car?
Also part of why voice interfaces didn't take off for complex tasks, talking about performing the task interferes too much with the mental process.
Yes, anything relating to the technical underpinnings should definitely be split off into its own domain(s). It's almost guaranteed you'll thank yourself for it down the road... and its usually sooner than you'd think.

Obviously some brand/product domains are related to the technical implementation (e.g. load balancers are going to be using them) so there is no perfect boundary -- but there usually is a clear one.
I wonder if it helped democracy if voters would be able to add "justification" to their vote. Then there would be less room for speculation about the reasons.
> But they are making public statements with access to information that we don't have. So who's to say they are wrong?

Anyone with any experience with any public statements any of them have made that have subsequently been subject to scrutiny on virtually any topic is in a position to say that them saying something based on nondisclosed evidence on an issue that aligns with factional/partisan propaganda interests has, at best, zero evidentiary value. (In Trump’s case specifically, his habit of stating falsehoods even when it doesn’t particularly help his case might lead one to conclude it has actually negative evidentiary value.)
It is worth noting that when the Queen passes, parliament will be called back in to session, if it is not already, and each minister will retake their oath swearing allegiance to the new King.
Fifty bucks a month for the whole suite is half of one page of comics posted to my Patreon. And my Patreon is pretty tiny.

Fifty bucks a month is less than I charge for one single-character flat color commission, which is something I can do in an hour or two.

And all that said I sure did pirate Illustrator for a decade until I was at the point where paying the full subscription was the easiest route. If I was a broke student now I’d probably be getting into Affinity Designer instead of Illustrator.
Guix is definitely a cleaner implementation (coherent cli tooling, way better manual, not a custom, oddball language, ...).

But:

* if Nix is already very niche, Guix is the niche of a niche. The ecosystem is tiny in comparison.

* The Nix interpreter isn't exactly fast, but Guix (with it's scheme) was significantly worse for me, even in relatively small tests

* The hard stance on open source requirements is understandable, given the projects origin, but it will severely hinder adoption. No, I don't want to package every commercial app I need myself. nixpkgs has almost everything.
