That's an unsettled question. I think most would agree that a nation's airspace extends at most up to the Kármán line, which is 100km above sea level (except in the US, where it's 80km or 50 mi). But there is no international treaty or anything that settles this.

In practice, as a satellite operator you are bound to the laws of the country where your company resides, the country where you launch from, the countries where your ground stations are, and any country that has political sway in any of the previous ones.

TikTok is definitely affecting American brains. They are the cultural zeitgeist right now.
The structure, participants, and audience are a lot different here than 99% of subreddits. There are a few well-managed subs there, but once they reach anywhere remotely near the size of HN, they turn into either navel-gazing echo chambers, or incredibly heavy-handed moderated subs where most of the users who would contribute meaningful content get banned or shadowbanned.

HN doesn't try to be everything to everyone like Reddit tries, and the moderation methods employed here are a lot less heavy-handed and take a few offenses before someone gets a meaningful ban or silencing.
Reddit has 52 million daily active users

You are sending 100B recommendations to 52 million daily users, that's 2000 recommendations per user per day. How many new subreddits do you think your users need to be made aware of in a given 24 hour period??

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
I’m simply pointing out that their reputation is significantly better than it should be. This is the same company that had to install suicide nets at their factories in the same country.

They are also the same company who have engaged in some of the most aggressive tax avoidance ever seen.

These things combined are painting an extremely dark picture of how the biggest company in the world maybe got to the size they are.

It feels like a good time to start asking the question of how we should react to this?
Congrats on the launch! I don't mean to hijack this thread, but as a day-to-day data engineer, I can't help but think that even though this explosion of ETL solutions are undeniably helpful, they don't really get to the real root of the problem. These days, you've got every company -- from small startups to large corps -- warehousing data. But the real value proposition isn't just having access to that raw data, but rather drawing insights out of it.

I'm not sure this is even doable without a dedicated data scientist, but a potential solution is a two-way marketplace that connects companies with data scientists to help make heads or tails of the data they're storing. Otherwise, it's just sitting in a data lake somewhere. (Not sure if something like this exists already, I'm just thinking out loud.)
I think retro-Web will only continue growing, as will sites which care about accessibility by the long tail of older devices.

To deter intimidation, ordinary voters should have secret ballots. But to provide accountability, powerful voters should not have secret ballots.

Unfortunately, it's rather difficult to draw a dividing line between ordinary voters and powerful ones in a liquid democracy method to satisfy both of these criteria.

Tesla sells its regulatory credits to other auto makers. Other auto makers are becoming more environmentally friendly and are weening off buying credits from Tesla.
There is always https://i.reddit.com, the only reason why I still use it once a month maybe. Props to them for keeping that endpoint alive.

But I agree. I used to have the same respect for Reddit as I do for HN (I even donated to it when this buying stars thing wasn't around) but clearly the site is not even a shadow of it's former self. The last straw for me was when they started showing "Only available in mobile app" bullshit.

Now to me they are in the same league as FB, i.e. their engineers may be doing some cool stuff but I can't help feel sorry for people who work there.

At a technical level, I'd more or less agree with you. But from a content and community perspective, I disagree that it's pretty much the same.

IMHO, the signal-to-noise here is amazing; not perfect, but _so_ much better. If I really want memes or jokes, I'll go back to reddit (and I occasionally do if I want some mindless downtime). I get a lot more insightful information and community interaction here than there.
> Would it not possible to "zoom and enhance" a low resolution image to higher resolution one using historical high res data of the location and learning from object types and classification?

Sure. Probably provide pretty convincing high-detail images.

For the cases of most interest—i.e., when the new activity is unusual and unexpected—it will often be detailed, convincing, and completely wrong, though.

There's a kind of default 'to go' verb in all the Slavic languages I know about, but you can't use it in certain contexts. In Polish, for example, you can similarly say:

Idę do sklepu (I'm going to the store)

With no implication about mode of transit. For that matter, you can even say:

Lecę do sklepu (I'm flying to the store), to imply that you're in a hurry.

But you would never say:

Idę do Moskwy (I'm going to Moscow)

Unless you were actually going there on foot. Sometimes the appropriate verb is required.
You think that's bad, consider some of the ex-member affiliated subreddits for high demand religions. One in particular is monitored closely by official (employed by said religion) and unofficial member representatives and if any joint/xpost occurs it is immediate ban. The official side has been demurred as a "news clipping service" in the past.

Same thing, different day, just a new platform to continue these kinds of failing sociological controls.
I think I saw someone suggest using a multi-armed bandit algorithm with upvotes as the objective. I'd like to see that!

An algorithm like that would balance the exploitation of showing current highly upvoted posts first with the exploration of showing posts with few votes first, so that every post gets its chance while still penalizing spam posts once they're conclusively known to be bad.
When I was a civil engineer last century gps accuracy was an issue because people wanted to use gps for surveying. They came up with a system that would use 2 receivers and a radio between them to get much higher accuracies.

Why GameStop Excitement Is Surging Again on Reddit
It sounds like you are describing the source of his depression as being his relationship to the memory and impact of what was, for him, relatively too much time working throughout his life.

While the history here cannot be changed, the way he is relating to it can be changed. This is not necessarily very easy to do, but for most humans, a distinct possibility, with the right tools and resources.

The source may be able to be de-potentiated, the emotional charge these memories carry in his system may be unwound, which can have a great effect on his quality of life.
Beyerdynamic headphones have a lot of fake detail (actually sibilence) that comes from echoes at high frequencies as well as their treble tuning. It makes songs mastered for radio sound more detailed in the same way a sharpness filter would work on images.

Wrong. A likely Sars1 origin was found within months. For Sars2 Chinese researches sampled 40000 animals (according to WHO report) and found nothing.

Sars1: Prof. Zheng-Li Shi from Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Prof. Shu-Yi Zhang from the Institute of Zoology, and some researchers from Australia also tracked the source of SARS virus to bats, and their findings were published in Science in September 2005
Maybe that would have been the case if only compilation times were reported to be good. But no, this is across many different kinds of workloads. Even Blender running in Rosetta can beat native x86 processors, which is bonkers.
> What we should do is take a good new look at the containment procedures of those labs, reevaluate them, verify if they are followed and fix what is not.

Who should do that, exactly? The same people you seem to think we should not to attempt to investigate or hold accountable in any way?

> We should also press uncooperative countries, like China, to open those up for inspection.

If China was demanding to have a bunch of their inspectors let into Fort Detrick to poke around, we wouldn't be any more welcoming than they have been. It's silly to allow imperial powers to engage in bioweapons research and then expect them to show each other all their cards.
I'm not sure this is true. Money supply inflation, which has already happened, spurs inequality.

Price inflation might not, and attempts to suppress price inflation while continuing money supply inflation may make inequalty worse.
How to choose the right chart for your data?
To say that "there isn't any evidence for either scenario" is willful ignorance.
Hmm, thank you. But didn’t that then create such opportunities since there was a knowledge differential between firms in the know and others (perhaps day traders)?
Yes. By that logic, why start punishing people for vehicular manslaughter? Just spend the effort on educating perpretrators so that they don't kill someone next time.
That viewpoint basically amounts to head in the sand. There is a plausible pathway to determine the origin. The lab could be openly investigated and the natural environment could be combed for an ancestor. If this was an unintentional release, it would vastly change the public perception and oversight protocols around pathogen research. Think what Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and Fukushima did to nuclear energy.

If we don't get open cooperation from China, it's also extremely useful information and helps all other nations recalibrate their levels of trust and ties.

Because if a future lab release happens, it could be so, so much worse. If it seems impossible, disease was a contributing factor in 31 species' extinctions that we know of, and those diseases were of natural origin.[1] The Plague of Justinian, also of natural origin, is estimated to have killed up to half the world's population at the time. After the last year, can we really afford to take these risks lightly anymore?

> if you made statements like "this started in Wuhan, in the lab there, not in the animal market next to it," you were called racist, even though race had nothing to do with it.

Honestly I always felt like "a scientist working with dangerous pathogens had an accident" is way less racist than "someone ate a weird animal from a wet market"... And yet the backlash was stronger for the lab leak scenario, almost as if the opinions were influenced by someone.
I (American) agree with chungy; there is a strong convention that specifies floppy disks and compact discs. We could say that "disk" is the American spelling of "floppy disk", but not that it is the American spelling of disc.

I suspect that "disk" is used because it is shortened from "diskette", which wouldn't work at all if spelled "discette".

The front-end is a disaster, especially on mobile.

It provides a paradigmatic example for people who believe SPAs are an invention from Satan himself. I actually love React and could have an SPA built that is a 100x better - but that is neither here nor there. The problem is that some features are half-assed or simply not implemented. The comment tree is a disaster, and pretty much in every interaction I discover new problems and bugs.

Cheery on the cake is that lately I am clicking on certain
posts and getting a message along the lines of "We cannot verify whether this content is suitable for work and therefore cannot place ads against it. Please download the app to view it."

What. The actual. Fuck.

I understand why from a company perspective an app is more interesting to you than a mobile site, but you haven't managed to persuade me in all these years why I need an app for what amounts to viewing content, saving my subreddit selection, and posting an occasional comment. If your strategy is to simply kick us out of the mobile site, then fine - I will stop using your site. I guarantee it.

Ugly is subjective.

Vertical space is at a premium, and 'wasting' five lines when three will do strikes me as uglier than the opposite. Adjusting spaces when things get refactored doesn't strike me as especially tedious, but YMMV.

I don't go so far as to support "lisp style" closing braces for brace-block languages, though. It's just too weird.
Does anyone happen to know of a non-headphone-specific solution for this, which actually does a good job? It doesn't need to work when I move my head, neither does the Virtual Barbershop[1] and yet the effect on my run-of-the-mill earbuds is still incredible.

I'm open to little hardware boxes, software that modifies my computer's audio as it plays, a filter for ffmpeg, etc, as long as I can use whatever headphones I want and the spatial effect is high quality.

I'd be interested to see the results of mounting a much smaller head (eg. a hard drive head) to the floppy drive, and then creating a full 2D image of the disk surface magnetics.

That should be able to read disks where the disk surface has stretched or warped, and the tracks are no longer perfectly circular.

I think there's also a reasonable chance such a method could also be used to recover data on a disc that has been overwritten.

>That provides a plausible origin scenario of the pandemic

Plausible but it gets us no closer to the truth unfortunately. There are many plausible origins, but it is important we do not mistake plausible for the most likely.

I agree though, the CCP has massively hindered this search for truth and will likely continue to do so, all to save face.
That's a rather gratuitous argument that applies to anything that uses TLS or OpenSSL libarary.

Penny stocks often have unreal bid/asks after-hours and they are completely fake... could they do something about that too?

And I wish that they would also regulate cryptos because a couple of days ago the spread was $1000 on BTC so I tried to make some money but after I bought with Coinbase, they would not let me sell.

> zeppelins like the Hindenburg were literally just filled with Hydrogen

As I understand it this is inaccurate -- there is an aircraft frame (made of aluminum) with canvas stretched around it. Then inside that frame there are gas bladders filled with hydrogen. Short of a very intense electrical discharge that would jump the gap, there is no electrical connectivity between the outer skin/frame and the inner bladders. And the bladders in turn were designed to vent upwards in the event of an emergency to prevent exactly this situation, since hydrogen is not an explosive gas unless it is sufficiently mixed with oxygen, which is hard since it will disperse rapidly in air.

One thing often overlooked about the Hindenburg and its reputation as being a dangerous bomb with people hanging below it is that there were a substantial number of survivors -- out of 97 passengers/crew, 62 survived.

I think the GP is probably correct that had not development stopped, we would likely have very safe storage for hydrogen at that scale; like the hybrid helium/hydrogen mechanisms originally intended for the Hindenburg class.
The front end seems to me like it was written by a bunch of new grads. Its such a miserable experience.

It depends on what you're looking for. Based on my usage of Rust, I would say that it's proc_macro system is more than capable enough for use-cases like this, and macro_rules migth even be enough.
