Right, that's totally reasonable, it sounds like you need an SLA (service level agreement) from you ISP, like a business-class service at 1G up/down.

Bu can you really make use of 25G or 10G service to the point where 1G is unacceptably slow? Probably not. It would strongly depend on the bandwidth of whatever you're connecting to.

As a deluxe nice-to-have with bragging rights, sure, but it won't make an operational difference except in very specific scenarios that almost no household would actually need.

How is it clear to you? I got the context from other comments... My point was not about the content of the article specifically, but more about the obliviousness of this (and many other) authors. It's like criticizing running an Alexa because it's like bugging your house while, at the same time, using Google's or Apple's thing. Total whoosh!

What's silly here is that you felt the need to reply on my comment as well, knowing that yours is not related to the original topic. Do you not see this as mildly duplicitous?
Vespucci (and likely also Go Map!!) has "square angles in this geometry" function that helps.
> Part of the problem in geopolitics is that there's genuinely no way to ever know this sort of thing,

The other problem is that while people talk about caring about this, none of the actors who pretend to actually have this as their primary goal, its just an excuse used when advantage, not stability, is being sought.

The launch event was revealing in itself. From NASA to SpaceX to Virgin, there is a huge shift in the launch coverage. Today's event was for the large part an ad for future passengers and I suspect that it was due to the rather "routine-looking" take off and landing. Despite the fact that this was path-breaking, the natural theatre of a launch was missing and had to be created by artificial means with the colorful space suits, the music launch and so on. In a way, this is great. It makes it very likely that we will have thousands of "astronauts" in the not too distant future and scheduled flights to space.
Yeah, that’s a completely different design for high speed travel in the atmosphere.
I was wondering the same thing. And particularly, why did they choose "feels religious" for their headline stat?
SpaceX has a pretty strong economic motivator in the form of Starlink. Starlink is also facilitating Starship launches by providing telemetry during launch (or at least that’s the goal).

Eventually, Mars (or other places like the Moon or asteroids) may become a base of operations for launch due to lower gravity. This could, in principle, make things like space based solar feasible. Such large structures would probably be best built by mechanized astronauts just like Starships on Earth. …and see experiments with EVA assembly of telescopes and other structures NASA did in the 1980s and 90s… orders of magnitude faster than space robotics, held back by insanely high cost of human spaceflight. So if you made human spaceflight cheap, that’d make large space structures cheap as well. Mars or the Moon or asteroids could provide lower cost and lower ecological footprint propellants, enabling more space travel and potentially reducing terrestrial high-impact industry.

"especially since the universe is probably deterministic"

Not at the subatomic level.. and the subatomic level may well have some significant impact on (or even be responsible for) consciousness.

"consciousness is probably an illusion"

This is an extremely controversial claim which is far from settled. We can't even settle on a definition of consciousness.

"The problem of evil; is logically caused by the existence of life that strives and competes within an environment of finite resources. Give us a universe where all the beings are powered by an infinite source of energy so they don't need to chase, catch, kill and eat each other."

Again, this explanation doesn't even attempt to account for sources of suffering that have nothing to do with human agency, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and disease.

But even were we to focus only on humans it doesn't explain why some people actually enjoy making others suffer or hate one anohter. No amount of resources would be sufficient to fix this.

Finally, even were this a perfectly deterministic universe with no free will (which is contrary to the core beliefs of many of the major religions) in which there is suffering, then there's still the question of why a perfectly good, all-powerful, and all-knowing god made it that way.

It doesn't sound like the writer was fired for doing her job. It sounds like she did a really good job, given the circumstances, and that her bosses used two pretty quintessential management techniques - deadlines and negging - to motivate her and her colleagues to outperform.

But this demo - her bosses ran out of money, and even if the text field did work, but they didn't get the money from this investor, they were going to be fired.

That aside, as other commenters have noted, junior developers need instruction. That's easy to say if you're Facebook, and every 22 year old you hire is "junior" but also went to Harvard. They're not really the same kind of "junior" as the 50th percentile 22 year old college graduate. In my experience Facebook hires these "junior" developers because they thrive despite receiving little to no meaningful instruction - as if "code reviews" or a month of onboarding on Mercurial really teach anyone anything. The small startup is gambling that maybe they can find these 22 year olds that Facebook has missed, which is a reasonable gamble, there are a lot that were missed. But it was never about finding someone who needed instruction.

Also, it's never been my experience that paying bad developers more money made them better. Paying good developers more money does. It's tough.
Space X and blue origin can not do that. Sure they can get a rocket up but you can't launch a giant rocket at Heathrow Airport. You can take off in an aircraft carrying a payload.

What space x proposed with their point to point listing cities such a Zürich Switzerland is insane. If you launch in the middle of Lake Zürich you will blow out every window in the city and probably permanently deathen part of the population. Zürich is a tiny city. Thinking there would be multiple flights like this per day when we can't eve deal with the plane noise is insane.

Is it ever mentioned how much pollution is generated per flight? I can’t see suborbital space travel becoming common if each flight emits millions of pounds of GHG.

The viewpoint that this article is missing: much of this “reversion” to anti-democratic governments in Central Europe (Visegrad+ Balkans) is coming from Western EU members pushing their newfangled cultural ideologies a little too hard. Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Ex-Yugoslavia want to be a part of the EU for economic reasons, not so they can participate in American-led cultural movements. If the EU doesn’t wise up and tone down their revolutionary zeal, these countries are going to be pushed even further away, eventually even towards Russia, China, or Turkey.
We need to stop doing wars where we cannot clearly envision the end state and have a clear plan for getting there. The U.S. has engaged in far too many conflicts where we simply didn't like what some country was doing and so we removed the government. Almost universally though, we did not know how to, or were unwilling to install a stable replacement government or governments.
Do you mean like you can later today watch the Euro Soccer finals in HD? Hmm, that footage will be beamed into space by a giant dish, to a stationery (or at least easily trackable) target that weighs several tonnes and large solar panels, and they can beam the stuff down with a lot of power.

Apple News+ is trying to build that, one subscription for $10/month. This is the current list of who they include: https://www.apple.com/apple-news/publications/

It's pretty decent imo depending on where you live and what you want to read. It includes some solid newspapers like the LA Times, SF Chronicle, Houston Chronicle, Miami Herald, Globe & Mail, Sacramento Bee, WSJ, etc. Plus some news-oriented magazines like the New Yorker and Atlantic. It's conspicuously missing a few of the top names though, who probably correctly think they can do better maintaining their own subscriber bases and don't want to be commodified in a bundle (NYT, WaPo, The Economist, Financial Times).

That exact design is a dead end but no breakthroughs are needed for orbital spaceflight. See what SpaceX is doing with reusable rockets, for instance. And Space Shuttle, although economically unsuccessful, showed that material and rocket science from 40 years ago made it physically possible.

Information is a public good, in the economic sense that it's nonrivalrous, nonexcludable, and has low marginal (not fixed) costs of production.

In practice, every long-term viable media support model has attached a public good model for distribution to some rents-generating activity. Those inlcude patronage, church tithes (or other contributeions), political organisations, member/donor contributions, and of course advertising.

Or taxes.

The problem with each funding mechanism is that it is at the least distortionary to the interests of the funder or that funder's controlling body. In the case of advertising, the issues are well known, with a remarkably insightful account coming from the dawn of the modern mass-media and mass-advertising age, Hamilton Holt's Commercialism and Journalism (1909), a short, highly readable, insightful, and information-packed quick read (it's based on an address given at UC Berkely by the author, himself a magazine publisher). Online at the Internet Archive:

https://archive.org/details/commercialismjou00holtuoft

Advertising's distortions are its drive to sensationalism (which increases the audience) and an antipathy for publishing anything which might offend the paymasters --- advertisers themselves. Holt quotes John Swinton (anonymously):

There is no such thing in America as an independent press. I am paid for keeping honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. If I should allow honest opinions to be printed in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation, like Othello's, would be gone. The business of a New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the foot of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. We are the tools or vassals of the rich men behind the scenes. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.

Philanthropic support leads to donor-influence along largely similar lines (the Tiny Sparks podcast frequently addresses such distortions in the non-profit world: https://nonprofitquarterly.org/podcasts/)

Other options are that propagandists run media services for their own benefit or interest (RT, Sputnik, Newscorp, OANN, Sinclair), or that "news" simply panders to the minimum viable user, at the lowest possible cost, choking out all but a tiny minority of high-quality services, themselves only affordable to a few.

The free market utterly fails information goods, due to the mechanics of the market itself.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm talking about. I would argue that whether or not the set of morals that god expects Job to follow are the ones that god considers good and correct makes a difference here.

If they aren't, god is not worth worshiping. If they are, at least god is consistent, and may be worth worshiping if he exists.

"Back in the day" you did purchase music from Apple. This changed to a subscription now from what I understand similar to Spotify and Google.

2. I can remove the DRM. (All iTunes movies released prior to 2020 fall into this category.)

3. It's cheap enough that I can treat it like a rental; I fully expect to loose access after a few years and anything longer is a bonus.

If you actually think the universe is deterministic, then cross the street without looking both ways. If you were "meant" to get hit by a car, looking won't matter anyway; if you are not meant to, you'll be safe. Or perhaps play golf during a thunderstorm?

The content menu is decent. Unfortunately the UI for Apple News+ is bad enough to make the service a no-go.
I'd think Facebook has an interest in showing ads people will like. Or at least will tolerate. Not just for getting the click through rates as high as possible, but also because ads for things you dislike will negatively affect your experience with the site. Something FB doesn't want since they're trying to make the experience as addictive as they can. That's part of what makes this inaccuracy interesting.

And I don't think the ads are aimed at changing my mind. Most of these ads aren't coordinated branding campaigns. They're largely small-time $20 ads placed by individuals and normal-sized churches. That indicates a failure by either FB in targeting, or a failure in choosing audiences by the ad buyer. I suspect it's both.
Most of us in our mid 30's have mild cases. Until I see evidence of it, I'm going to treat it as media driven hysteria.

I'm surprised more video surveillance software does not leverage the APIs of the cameras. Network cameras have built in motion, object, line cross, and facial detection. The work is done in the camera and the APIs allow you to subscribe through call backs or server side events.
You could support event recording for at least a half dozen cameras with a raspberry pi.

I've prototyped this but it ended up on my shelf of incomplete hobbies. Given that many camera brands are white label products made by the same manufacturer, I would think you could cover several brands with just the first API client implementation. Or maybe this is also covered with onvif?
I have a similar story but since it wasn't an internship and I had about 5 years experience in far better companies, I reacted with relief that I got out. I only stayed in the company for 2 weeks in which the CEO and his wife, who was the COO, yelled at me multiple times. I was yelled at for not understanding the code base and delivering a feature within 3 days of joining, trying to relax in my chair when they were talking, using their stash of tissue paper cause they didn't bother keeping some in the bathroom for wiping your hands etc. In retrospect I wonder how I even got through those 2 weeks without quitting on the second day. I just stopped showing up and the CEO came to my house, banged on my door to try and get me to delete their crappy code written by a mountain of interns from my personal laptop. I pretended I wasn't home and we later had a call where I deleted it all. I also wasn't paid for the time I worked there. Everyone who wasn't me was pretty much an intern writing awful code because they really didn't know any better
