Those are separate issues. It is convenient to blame automakers for the chip shortages because they are 100% at fault here for their stupidity with the automotive rated semiconductor segment.

Additionally, their lack of planning and foresight contributed to the larger semiconductor industry going into a panic, causing a purchasing frenzy that dried up all the channels.

People in the larger industry saw what happened with the automotive semiconductor segment and went, well... maybe I should just keep 1 year of all my critical ICs on hand just to be safe.

I agree with you that we need more fabs, but they need to be thought of as (from a US centric viewpoint) national security assets. The reality is that if we want significant infrastructure, we need to do major investment from the US Government to ensure they are built here in the US. There are either production minimum guarantees, subsidies on the construction or operational costs to basically cover the costs of having excess capacity.

It also seems like e-scooters would solve this given the proper infrastructure and planning, but those have other problems and that infrastructure wasn't there when the idea was done 2018/2019.
How rational this is depends on your testing culture. With a comprehensive test suite, the guarantees offered by a compiler are not very important. The software goes through all its runtime paces before production anyway.

If you’re not going to write any tests, then obviously compile time is a crucial line of defense.

Most shops will be somewhere in the middle where compiler guarantees offer a real but marginal benefit, to be weighed against other tradeoffs.
> Every time you enter a folder that direnv hasn't seen before, or the file in there changes, you have to run `direnv allow` for it to be taken up.

That sounds great, just like I would have hoped that it'd work. And, because of this: "or the file in there changes", in a way it's even safer than a Makefile — in that Make wouldn't notify me if the Makefile got changed, but Direnv does (and people might not remember to look at any Makefile diff after pulling from the repo). — Now I'm starting slightly thinking about if Direnv makes sense somewhere in my own project(s).
It's impossible to sustain most big cities with just bikes for the last mile problem. It's just not practical to do your last mile on the cold or the rain every single day if you have a coastal or a very cold winter. Whatever that thing is that's there for those days is probably very similar to ride sharing, or it's just very good public transportation so that it's the last block and not the last mile.
So currently all the internet for Starlink customers are from bouncing off Starlinks low-orbit satellites to these ground stations where they are connected via cable connected (normal internet) and served up, am I interpreting that correctly?

Do you know any more details about the leak? The article didn't really discuss it.
UML really died because modern software development is less like designing an aircraft than it is a research program to design a new kind of aircraft. To the programmer, the plafroms they are going to build on are so vast and complicated, that their behaviour is not fully known to the programmer. So to design a specific application, the programmer has to performa series of experiments on the platform to determine the manner in which it will have to be used to support the objectives of the application. When those experiments are complete, the programmer can then spend some time in design, but for the most part programming-in-the small is akin to conducting research and then doing a little desing. For large systems, someone has to do design, but the best way of doing such design is through whitepapers, and large scale experiments and possibly simulations and analysis. UML isn't particularly useful, beyond establishing a common vocabulary for diagrams -- a task that can be done more simply and informally.
I think Boise was making a general point.
I kinda feel like that's more due to lack of interest than anything else, at least on the part of WhatsApp, which is restricted enough feature-wise that it'd be somewhat feasible to reverse engineer and build a client.

If I think about something like Slack or Discord, though, they surface area of those things are just huge. So many protocol details to work out, and so many features to duplicate for a third-party client. And they're such moving targets, too, with features added at a regular cadence (unlike AIM, ICQ, etc. back then, though even then Gaim/Pidgin didn't have voice & video support for a long time).

I also think the third-party client drive for AIM and ICQ was driven by people who wanted to use it on Linux but had no way to do so at all. The clients were Windows- (and Mac-?) only, WINE was a pain to use back then, and there were no web clients initially. But with Slack and Discord the impetus just isn't there. At least with Slack (I'm not super familiar with Discord), Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS are all officially supported, and there's always the web client if you don't like the Electron-based desktop clients.

On top of that, Slack's API is rich enough to enable things like a Matrix bridge, so, again, probably just not enough interest to do something truly standalone.

The only thing I'm somewhat surprised about is that no one has tried to build a third-party standalone WhatsApp client that doesn't require being tethered to the mobile client. But perhaps Facebook/WhatsApp has done a better job at obfuscating and hiding their protocol than AOL and Mirabilis did long ago. Or maybe the interest just isn't strong enough to warrant the effort.
The seven years worth of "omg, thanks!" comments is pretty cool. Too bad the "small internet" is dying. Had it been a facebook comment or old tweet, it likely would have melted into obscurity.
That's how I understand it, yes.

If double latency is okay, it may be possible to do M-shaped ones where an isolated ground station (with only power) relays solely between two different satellites to reach further, for example in the middle of oceans (with a ground station on an island or ship). I am not sure if they plan to implement this interim step or not, but it is technically possible.

Their eventual goal is to allow communication directly between the satellites (via laser is the plan, but who knows if that will reach production). It's in testing/R&D and is quite a difficult challenge.
I bet the noise floor thing. Inmarsat (and the intelligence monitor station beside it) have been trying to block the 3.5Ghz spectrum in most of the Netherlands (up to 100km away or so).

They're now going to move somewhere else but it basically delayed the 5G rollout in the northern half of the country for years.
Big tech engineers don’t care lol look at Googlers who only build things to get promoted, leave after vesting, then Google kills the product years later
So call it a taxi then. It's still not a rideshare (except for the actual shared ride services like UberPool).
eschewed -> hewed. I wouldn't normally point typos out, but this one inverts your meaning.
That is probably an exception, and Uber and Lyft were definitely breaking the law acting as unlicensed taxi for the vast majority of their existence.
> Does the judge have the power to order such things?

The actual order is linked and has fairly extensive citations of precedent on that point, but, generally, yes, the federal courts have fairly extensive power to order equitable relief, even on a preliminary basis, where it finds actual (or, for preliminary orders, probable) Constitutional violations (and in some other cases, as well.)
Actually if you look at the complete research report they quote a study which says 40% not 50%:

"due to the substantial deadheading miles (miles travelled without a passenger), which account for at least 40.8% of TNC miles"
Absolutely. In fact, I interviewed a guy last week that comes from very big tech and he basically himself admitted that they're basically wasting time and money chasing unknown "ideal" codec while almost always those projects hit dead end. He loves the money, I am sure, but he wants out anyway. :)
Pfft it’s obviously so simple why can’t you see what he sees

They also just drive around "hot" spots with the hope that they will get a customer. Realistically Uber will not match a customer with a driver who is 45' away. They also cannot park like taxis do in designated locations (they are very rare for uber), so they have to keep driving.
The bus will still have to wait on or go around rideshare drivers who have their Park Anywhere lights on. Here in SF it's compounded by the limited range of mobility of certain buses as they can't really leave their intended travel lane without losing power: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_pole
Unfortunately (at present) Starlink does not provide for mobile platform access. They say you have to stay within your access cell and people have reported inability to connect if the antenna is taken somewhere distant from the registered home position. Maybe that will change in the future though?
Yep. Software development is closer to biology than mathematics now. Instead of some first principles that help us understand a system, we poke and prod it.
You just order those through Boatmates.
The majority of sites in the United States, actually all of them I've checked, are pre-existing fiber shelters, mostly CenturyLink's in the west. They exist at various points on the fiber line for add-drop and power injection. It's not especially unusual to negotiate with carriers to install equipment at these sites as part of your transit agreement. I don't immediately see any aerial photos where SpaceX's equipment seems to have been installed but I would imagine they're adding the antenna and maybe another prefab shelter. But basically everything you're seeing at those sites on Google Maps right now isn't Starlink, it's existing carrier equipment.

Why not give people the option... Seems silly to be an iOS developer exclusively and NEED a MacBook.... If you can develop an iOS app for iPad on iPad and that suits your needs then why the hell not...
It's not just deadheading that is the problem. It's also the traffic caused by them stopping in the middle of lanes for pickups and dropoffs, driving around going 3mph looking for their pickup, and various other behaviors.

None of those things are very problematic on very small scales...an inconvenience at most. But just a tad more than that, and it can create absolute chaos.
If that impersonal approach works for you and everybody is happy with it, that's fantastic.

I haven't hired myself but I have worked with people from all over the world with different backgrounds for many years and have had literally zero close cases of anybody misusing an API key on their benefit for whatever reason. It wouldn't have made any sense for them to do so.

And the control I talked about is security logging, monitoring, alerting systems, etc. I've worked for a banking company and also for a fintech one and all the money movement operations were duly logged and monitored. Literally nobody would risk doing anything malicious in an environment like that plus people are happy with their salaries
I am kind of convinced that the answer to every question “why is the US <blank>/why does the US <blank> and etc is “we have a imperial crapton of fertile land relative to population.”

It’s definitely the answer to why do we have so many small to medium farms. If you really really want to do it, anyone (with some money and a shitton of work) can buy land and try to grow things on it - this is not the case in most of the world, population density in places with farmable land tends to be too high to be generally accessible to the bulk of the population.
The map legend points out that most of the data is from FCC filings, so other countries might not have complete data. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are still more stations in the US than elsewhere, but this map probably isn’t the best evidence for that.
The protobuf itself as format isnt that bad, just the default implementations are bad. Slow compile times, code bloat and clunky apis / conventions. Nanopb is much better implementation and allows you to control code generation better too. Protobuf makes sense for large data, but for small data fixed length serialization with compression applied on top probably would be better.
Good to hear that considering its still taught in at least one school
Good. Everyone who is not relying on the strongmen with guns to put a moat around their business is benefiting from Uber and Lyft.
> This situation seems better than taxis, which drive an empty car around when they're NOT EVEN on their way to pick someone up.

This is true, but mainly for dense cities prior to Uber/Lyft, and even then cabs driving looking for fares would be in the central part of the city. Here in NYC back in the day I’d rarely find a cab just driving around in Brooklyn, you’d typically find them on main roads driving back to Manhattan after dropping off their last fare if you did.

Now there are just a lot more for hire vehicles driving around the city in general. There was an artificial shortage of medallions, with about 14000 of them back before the apps, plus a bunch of for hire car services (and dollar vans on Flatbush). Now there’s about 100,000 cars for hire in NYC.

Does anyone have an image of what one of these ground stations looks like? Do they piggyback on some existing antenna shack? Or did they build their own from scratch?

I also wonder whether they considered partnering with AWS Ground Station? https://aws.amazon.com/ground-station/

Or maybe the Starlink constellation's requirements are not amenable to that?

I was recently asked by a colleague how to get into rendering. I recommended this book to her. I did read through the first chapter again to see how beginner friendly the start was.

It seems to assume some familiarity with linear algebra, but it seemed quite accessible. It's difficult to gauge when you already know the topic well and I'm still waiting to hear back from my colleague.

Amazon is also planning an LEO internet constellation; being dependent upon a direct competitor for core infrastructure probably isn't a good idea, especially when that specific competitor (Amazon) has been busted before abusing its position as vendor to appropriate their customers' private information and enter their markets directly as participant.

If you are going to compete with Amazon, don't use AWS to do it.

I also doubt AWS ground station locations are numerous enough to provide the kind of service that Starlink needs.

No, there are extensive factual findings in the order (based on evidence presented in the hearings so far in this case) as to how the particular harms at issue in this case were deliberately and knowingly sought by the government, both the deliberate racial discrimination and the freezing of it's consequences through the deliberate “containment” strategy in skid row.

Most social problems aren't the clearly demonstrable product of deliberate government choice of the harm in this way.
The rise in ride-sharing requires a rethink in transportation planning within cities and campuses.

We did a study for a major university after it found a huge increase in traffic volumes within its main entry “plaza”, and an associated logjam that radiated from there. A large proportion of that traffic was due to ride-sharing drivers circulating in and around the plaza waiting for passengers.

The university built a dedicated ride-sharing area nearby and prohibited ride-sharing services from the plaza. This largely solved the problems (although enforcement is an ongoing issue).

Ride-sharing absolutely can cause local increases in congestion if nothing is done to accommodate it. However, it’s a modern reality, so planners who don’t accommodate it aren’t doing their jobs.
> I agree that a lot of people have assumed that the current patches were malicious when they are not

Who can blame them when Greg says things like

"> You, and your group, have publicly admitted to sending known-buggy patches to see how the kernel community would react to them, and published a paper based on that work."

Greg is explicitly alleging, "You", that Aditya is being malicious. So of course the idiot readers will think so. He repeatedly alleges that Aditya is malicious.

This isn't just "the internet", it's Greg's false accusations, which he has yet to retract.

Look at the damage. I'm linking LKML, links from other maintainers, a quote from Linus, and facts and all of my posts are downvoted. Greg's bungling has caused a massive false perception.

> How is submitting patches which you know have bugs to a review process where they may end up being merged not count as "intending to cause harm"?

Because they did not intend to cause harm. They intended the opposite - to improve Linux security by demonstrating flaws in the process. Obviously they did a bad job of it, no one is defending that research, UMN apologized for it explicitly.

But they did not intend harm. They were not hoping to exploit those vulnerabilities. It was not malicious. It was negligent. I think it's very important to recognize the difference, critical really.
Yeah, it has to be safe to cycle (or scoot) and the infrastructure to exist but that's in my opinion not the case in American big cities.
If you're on Android using an app like Materialistic to browser HN, like I am, use a reader-mode-only app like Reedy to open your articles; since it only parses html and doesn't run scripts, it will work on every site that sends the whole article and not just a snippet.

I'm partial to Reedy because it tends to fall "safe" and include more content rather than less, but other similar apps should work just as well (SmartNews has a similar function, as do Article Reader Offline, wallabag, and Webreader; I find Reedy has the best UI/feature set for my use).
Millions of lines of production Python code do just fine by doing the thing you should have been doing all along: testing.

If there are regular slaughters, smart animals might notice a pattern. "We never saw Fred again after he went to that strange shed. Then we never saw Tom after he went there. Why the hell are they dragging me over there now?!??"

This doesn't mean that any pig could articulate "I'm going to die". That isn't necessary. Nearly every ungulate (maybe not moose?) has a built-in mortal fear ready to surface at any time. New events, or repeated events with bad associations, bring out that fear. It takes a great deal of training to relax that.
> Their eventual goal is to allow communication directly between the satellites

I guess they'll have to though if they want to make it more scale-able? They satellites will always have to be up in space, but with communication between them they won't have to build ground stations everywhere. Plus ground stations themselves have to have good internet connectivity
On a tangent, I wonder what effects Starlink will have in countries where the government wants to control or filter/restrict people's internet access?

I'm barely 22, even I have started to feel deficiencies in my learning and retaining abilities. I think the main problem seems to be that you "grow" out of your learning phase.

I can't keep myself concentrated on a reading for more than a few minutes anymore, even though I used to be the most voracious reader in my school as a kid who would keep on reading for the whole day if he wasn't disturbed. I can't concentrate on classes or video tutorials as much as I could as a child. Even skills seem to get impacted - I used to do big calculations in my head and retain multiplication tables up to 20 like most other Asian kids, but I can't seem to make myself do that anymore.
Quick summary of how remarkable this is:

Fernando Pessoa invented characters for his poetry. The characters are not in his poems, but are the writers of the poems. Alvaro de Campos is one of them.

These characters are incredibly well-developed. They each have full and rich biographies, writing styles, and philosophical approaches to life. They also have interactions with each other, occasionally even engaging in literary flame wars. I don't think there is anything like these works anywhere else in literature.

Anyone who enjoys Pessoa may also enjoy a book[1] by the Nobel-winning Portuguese author Jose Saramago, in which one of Pessoa's characters must travel back to Portugal, to attend Pessoa's funeral.
