110W peak usage.

I've seen wifi hotspots use this much and they don't have to connect to space.

Is this really "energy pig" level of usage for space based communications? My former experience was with gimbled / gyro pointing dishes which were very energy intensive by comparison. 100W and little physical movement would have been considered very efficiant.

How do other space com platforms handle deployment / install of end user terminals. I've not seen ones with the spaceX approach (simple end user install). Perhaps the professional installs get the energy use down to 10W or whatever is not considered "energy pig" usage.

As a point of reference, tesla's cars hit energy draws of 900,000W when driving. Their semi is likely to use even more. So I think worth being careful about energy pig label.
You might be surprised. I sort of went through a mythology phase so I was probably familiar with the Norse pantheon from other sources. But I also certainly remember watching both that 1960s cartoon (though only remember the theme song) and reading the comics in (mostly) the 60s.

I'd be willing to bet that the majority of Americans who can give a vaguely correct answer to Who is Loki? (or Who is Thor?) know that answer because of Marvel at some point in their lives.
Would also be curious in a comparison with Godot, which is another FOSS game engine.
People will tell you all kinds of models but in the end it totally depends on you. You just have to try some. I needed years to finally find the right chair. I did so at work. We can take an "ergonomics course" where we learn how sit and can try different chairs. I now have the exact same one at home because I love it.

Another thing is: you most likely need to move more. Find a sport and do it regularly. You don't have to be especially good at it. Key is to have fun and do it regularly. I also had problems with sore legs over a long time. Not so much with a good chair but it still was there sometimes. This is often a circulation issue.

- Sit correctly (adjust height of seat, keyboard, monitor etc => Youtube has guides for sure)
- Stand up regularly and walk somewhere (fetch tea, coffee, water). You can even go outside for 5 minutes.. This will also benefit your eyes.
- Do sports. You can even just do a stroll every day.. it will help.

edit: spelling
Godot is coming up mighty quick. I've been favorably impressed. Also, if your concept is 2D, it's way beyond the 3D-centric game engines for that task: might not be the question being asked, but it's worth a thought.
Per the article, it's already been tested and works. Just throw a sprinkler on the thing.

Clearly, though, the tolerances weren't chosen correctly when they designed the thing. 122F isn't actually that hot for a device designed to sit stationary in the sun all day.

> For people that are interested in getting rewarded for having a large contact list. If you know a lot of people, chances are that you know people that want a deal. Orbik rewards you for bringing businesses customers.

Not every maker has a large contact list. You can of course email people and ask them to advertise your product. But by asking them to become advertisers on Orbik, they also get money rewards and can also advertise multiple products.

After throwing dollars out the window with Facebook advertising, I feel this exactly what I'm looking for.

Niche products that are very useful for a specific group of people are best advertised by word of mouth.
I picture it like being more complex than re-folding a street map. It seems a good lot of people mess that up, and it's easy to tell it's happened because some of the folds go the wrong way, and sometimes there are new folds and "puffy" edges that don't belong there.

Just like ironing, where sometimes you see an erroneous V-shaped pleat running down the front of an otherwise impeccable pair of dress pants.
Nothing stops a business from doing this themselves - you can absolutely do this yourself.

Like most things in tech, this is a convenience tool. By using Orbik, you don't have to do the management of the reward flow. Most businesses provide some sort of in-store credit or provide discounts for the referrers. The idea with us is that paying out cash directly is much more attractive than in-store credit.

I definitely appreciate the feedback though. I suspect making the value proposition a bit clearer would be a good action item.

Any and all feedback welcome.

I have to do the same with my mom and her mac every week or two. The latest was all of the flash deprecation warnings and she uses flash routinely for puzzle games although she's never heard of this "flash" thing. I spend about as much time getting her mac fixed as I used to her windows computer and she's been using computers since the 80s. Remember, we're talking about "normal users," not us on HN. Most normal users don't know 90% of their computer. They know how to turn it on and do what they did yesterday, and if that doesn't work any longer they are mostly lost. Kind of like cars. Most know how to drive them and gas them up, but if there is ever any other sort of issue that isn't obvious like a flat tire they are lost. That's most "normal" users. There's a reason why "did you simply try turning it off and on again" is a meme, because that's most people.
I'm a big fan of the HON Wave Mesh Big and Tall Executive Chair. I've purchased four of them for at home and one for my last work office. Thick padding, wide seat.

I do often accidentally smack the foam arm rests into my desk and they end up cracking after a few years of abuse. But you can get replacements pretty readily and they're easy to change (two screws).
For a product intended to be used by people in remote locations, temperature range is an alpha test feature, not a beta test feature, because there's a very good chance they will need to completely redesign the dish internals to operate at higher temperature ranges, especially if they expect to weatherproof the dishes in future designs.

the design process is different for hardware because you can't just fix everything with a patch after-the-fact. You have to actually anticipate problems and account for them in your design, especially when you are charging people money for the product and marketing it as a remote solution.
What is this bullshit?

Khadr was an enemy combatant in an invasion of his country, abducted illegally when he was a child (15 year old), taken to Guantanamo, probably tortured, and sued for murder ( since when does Guantanamo have jurisdiction over killing between armed men in a war in Afghanistan??).

You really have to have a very fucked up view of the world to think illegally detaining and torturing a child is OK, whatever the circumstances. Where are the trials for the US war criminals in Afghanistan ? Why are their war crimes acceptable, but fucking children get sent to Guantanamo for fighting?!
I guess not, but this is also a law that applies to _all_ job postings for CO. I feel like a lot of people are criticizing this law when I see it as an absolute step in the right direction.

It's not perfect, but I feel like it's wildly helpful for a ton of people. It helps transparency for a lot of positions and I feel like it rewards honest companies. If equity and bonuses are a big part I think it reduces the overhead for talking about salary to clear the way to talk more about equity and bonuses.

It's also in the early stages and CO is the only state with a law that requires disclosure up-front to my knowledge (someone mentioned CA has a law, but they only have to answer if asked). It feels like a fantastic first-step to me.

I think the key insight is that if you have some free time. Being able to schedule your prep is convenient. If your day is going to be packed full 110% of the time anyways then you may as well let the scheduler of the meeting schedule your prep at the same time.

But I have always thought it would be nice to be able to have calendar constraints. Some simple like "I need 1 contiguous hour for lunch between 11 and 15" to more complex "I need travel time between meetings" to automatically rescheduling meetings across people to avoid fragmentation issues. This could be a potential additional constraint. "This 30min meeting requires a preceding 30min of prep". This would be more flexible to schedule so could help busy schedules align. Then every day before I leave the tool can stabilize my schedule for the next day, any maybe I end up doing tomorrows prep today to allow things to bin-pack better.

The learning curve of ZFS compared to every alternative out there is significantly lower IMO. The interface is easier and the guides online are great.

There are drawbacks as the one discussed here, but as a Linux user who doesn’t want to mess up with the FS and uses ZFS for the backup server, the experience has been great so far.
It’s cool to see how they compensated for the IMU inaccuracy. I bought an IMU off of Amazon once and tried to use it to measure the position of a steering wheel. This worked for one rotation, but as it mentions, it’s incredibly hard to compensate for the error margin — as you integrate more measurements, the error builds up irreconcilably to the point where it’s a useless instrument.

I am sure the one on the Mars helicopter had more precision though :)

But yes, when you view an ad, that gets recorded somewhere (so that you can get rewards, and the advertiser can be billed).

Most chairs in office settings are task chairs. They are not made to be comfortable for long periods of sitting time. All the major brands like HM, Steelcase, Humanscale, etc are task chairs. If you want a comfortable chair then I would suggest a 24 hour Chair. These are used in settings where someone will be sitting in it 24/7/360 days a week (911 Operator, Etc). They are about as expensive as the higher end (office) task chairs and what they lack in fashion they make up for in comfort.

does TDD not dictate that you write tests first, before you write the code under test? then you write only enough code to make the test pass, as I recall.

yeah TDD is a mess
Pretty overblown, been WFH in Texas for 8 years now, the big freeze was the only time we had a power outage, and the only time in my life in Texas we had ice for more than 3 days for that matter.

Is it much better WFH in California during fire season? Seems worse with controlled shutdowns vs friendly letters to conserve energy.

edit: actually a squirrel blew itself and a transformer up on our street one time, that took down power for an hour or so.

edit2: to the poster below, it's possible Oncor in that area is mismanaged like most of ATX, but your experience does not align with my experience.
Map it somehow? What do you mean? There is a Wikipedia entry on it [1] that is a start.

To your point, maybe there needs to be an HN glossary of terms or something like that.

My intuitive answer to that problem was to say that if we assume the captured serial numbers are randomly distributed, and the numbering starts at 1, then they will have the same average as all the numbers, so the estimate should be the average of captured serial numbers times 2. Which gives a result close to the formula used in this article, but not the same. I'm not sure where is the flaw.
With RAID10, one could swap out 2 drives to get a size increase.

With 2 4 disk vdevs, one could swap out 4 drives for a size increase.

So I'm assuming you have a single 8 disk vdev, and no spare places to put disks.
As an older developer I find it funny how design trends cycle around. I think in my life I've seen UI design go the full circle at least twice. The square corner, solid colour era is ending and it looks like we're pulling back into round corner and gradient land. Next stop, Skeuomorph station, all aboard.

Upside, some of the legacy systems I wrote 20 years ago are going to look modern again!
I 100% agree with all of this. A few tips:

1. This chair comes in sizes. Make sure you are actually getting the right size for your body.
2. I was able to find several of them used on Craigslist locally with a few small minor defects such as worn armrests, gas cylinders, etc.. I was able to buy my chair used with a bad gas piston, buy a replacement for $40 on Amazon and easily install it. I was able to do all of this for a few hours of work and under $300.
3. I would recommend taking a few minutes to read the website on how to properly configure this chair.
4. Even if you have the best desk chair, if your desk, monitors and keyboards are not also ergonomically aligned, you will not be getting the majority of the benefit.
5. There are a number of great accessories for this chair. I also have an Atlas headrest that I really like.

I also got the Embody last year and couldn't be happier. It's comfortable and looks good, but mostly I bought it because I just can't stand throwing away one more cheap office chair that only lasts a few years and ends up in a landfill. I expect the HM to last the rest of my life. No more squeaking, creaking, loosening, or faux-leather crumbling. It makes me feel good mentally as well as physically that I won't have to buy or throw away another chair again.
There have been a lot of (I'll charitably say) misleading stories about how bad the power system in Texas is lately, and this is one of them: these folks opted into this program, most people foresaw this exact sort of thing happening and did not. Just like the meme about multi-thousand-dollar power bills: they opted into paying whatever the spot price was, and then expected a bailout when the bet didn't go their way.
The big choice NHTSA has to make is when to investigate and what counts as a fault of system design failure/operation failure and when that will result in a safe/unsafe recall situation. Case one car encounters situation it should be able to respond to and doesn't would need an in depth investigation whereas case 2 car encounters a new situation cant handle would need a more theoretical analysis on should car be able to handle that or is it safe to continue . i.e baby in road car should handle but they train model to ignore things like plastic cups/ plastic bags or any other "safe" road debris. but should it magically handle baby inside a plastic bag on the road. NHTSA will have to at some point make those calls on it will never be perfect but where is the line of good enough

Does rebooting help with soft errors in non-ECC RAM? I would have thought bit flips would be transient in nature, but I'm not really familiar.
A mere hypothesis, but I wonder if that task bar centering wasn't pushed because of the increase in popularity of ultrawide screens as well as tablets (Microsoft has been pushing for Windows use on tablets for quite some time now). Because when you imagine a centered taskbar on an ultrawide screen or a tablet, it makes absolute sense and is preferable to having it on the left side of the screen. The centered taskbar doesn't work at all on smaller screens though.
I have the Steelcase Leap as well for over 15 years at work and the Steelcase Gesture. Both are great chairs.

As another poster suggested, the most comfortable chair is the one you find comfortable. Definitely go and sit on a few, then see which one feels the best.

this might sound like a troll comment but its coming from someone with almost zero experience with raid. What is the purpose of ZFS in 2021 if we have hardware RAID and linux software RAID? BTRFS does RAID too. Why would people choose ZFS in 2021 if both Oracle and Open Source users have 2 competing ZFS? are they interoperable?
Technically yes, but this is where you have to use common sense.

The assumption that something "will only ever be treated as a unified blob" can turn out to be a real footgun -- suddenly you need to locate all users who share a phone number and, whoops, you can't.

Nobody's saying strings should be split into individual characters, or small JPEG thumbnail blobs ought to be decomposed into fields for each header.

But if you're dealing with obvious common-sense pieces of data like phone numbers? That experience ought to tell you have a reasonable chance of needing to be joined relationally at some point? Then the smart thing to do is to interpret that as a 1NF violation.
No need for that correction. The issue is that while MapsMe got sold to a dodgy company and now has some respectable FOSS forks, the Notes layer on OSM is still full of notes that were created from Maps.me over the last several years and clearly state that.
> The only "data" going out is your region (e.g. the United States).

Every request Brave makes "home" will transfer private data like IP address of the user and browser fingerprint, regardless of the payload. Can you clarify what is done with this data?

Also if it is true what says in the article that some requests "home" can not be disabled, why is that the case?
I prefer just to have mirrors but its cool that it slowly coming, some people seem to really want this feature.

ZFS has been amazing to me, I have zero complaints.

I just wish it wouldn't have taken so long to come to /root on linux. Even still today you have to a lot of work unless you want to use the new support in Ubuntu.

This license snafu is so terrible, open-source licenses excluding each other. Crazy. The world would have been a better place if linux had incorporated ZFS long ago. (And no we don't need yet another legal discussion, my point is just that its sad).
I see no mention of "advanced control techniques"? Sounds like there is just a limit on roll/pitch angles and a limit on distance applied. Saying "advanced control techniques [for multirotors]" sets an expectation for something along the lines of Tedrake's Underactuated Control approaches: http://underactuated.mit.edu/

It's soft to you, not to the fly. You don't slap a fly "until it stops moving". When you swat a fly, it explodes.
This is nearly certain to be oversold. The etiology and composition of brain tumors is highly diverse; they don’t all share the same biology and the study design here (100 “CNS tumors” vs. “normal” individuals) leaves a lot to be desired. It’s not clear to me if they also are basically using the same testing and training dataset or not.

Even the headline here (100% accuracy) is inaccurate; it had 100% sensitivity). The list of cancer bio markers which have turned out not to work for screening is quite extensive.

That said, the most interesting thing here is the microRNA capture technology. If it can be scaled, it might be interesting.
We shall admit that to follow UI trends in one application is relatively easy.

For example one application in last 15 years: https://sciter.com/from-skeuomorph-to-flat-ui-evolution-of-o...

But to do the same on OS level - hundreds of different apps and applets ... That's Sisyphean task to be honest.

We should be lucky that old stuff is still working and API that appeared in Win 3 is still with us.

Actually that is not just Windows problem. On Linux, for example, all these utilities were historically console UI applications that are more "UI conservative" but even there - whole zoo of different approaches...

I love this chair - I've tried a lot of fancy office chairs and think this one is the best.

Pro tip for bay area people - company liquidation events happen all of the time and lots of companies buy these.

That means you can get a like-new chair on craigslist from someone who bought a bunch of them at a liquidation sale for ~$350-400 which is a great deal.

If you're worried about fakes, check for bumps behind the top back of the chair - the number of bumps is the size. Small, Medium, Large -> 1, 2, 3, bumps.

I'm 6'1" and ~200lbs, I'm comfortable in a medium and a large. I got the medium via craigslist because they're more available, but have a large at work.
The open source way of splitting out the actual utility into some command line thing, and then making a thin UI wrapper, seems to really improve consistency. Which, I guess, is unsurprising -- the open source community needed to make a UI on top of a chaotic ecosystem, so they actually had to deal with the problem up front. Windows skated by accidental consistency for quite a while.
I mean, it’s fun to dunk on Microsoft OS design, but aren’t we looking at screenshots from a leaked early build? Seems reasonable that it looks a bit hacked together at this point. Maybe it will launch this way. But maybe it won’t.
