> hardship, want and greater susceptibility to famine and disease

Have you been awake for any part of the last 50 years? Two of those things are happening right in front of you, with the third on the horizon.
There is certainly an argument to be made against arbitrary removals of content. I agree that perhaps there should be limits on networks above a certain size. However, Twitter banning Trump was anything but arbitrary. The fact that they didn't ban him sooner despite his frequent violations of their TOS is evidence that they were biased in his favor, if anything.
I don't think "big social" is a term used by any group of people, including people you disagree with.
I think it's a neologism and it's a comprehensible one. I interpret it as a big business doing social media.

It varies from constellation to constellation.

O3B's MPower constellation promises 10 Gbps terminals, but those terminals are very likely to go to big enterprise customers, as they will cost several $10k's.

Telesat's Lightspeed constellation is aimed at rural areas of Canada and 5G backhaul. To do the latter, they'll have to deliver at least 1 Gbps. Telesat's been in the game for a long time, so I wouldn't doubt that they'll deliver.

There's two Chinese constellations going up. They'll probably deliver anything and everything they can, but it remains to be seen what the satellite and terminal capacities will be. The west still has an edge here.

Starlink started with residential service but they'll try to expand into everything they can. One of applications I expect to see is to use Starlink to get data out of Teslas and back to the ML team so they can improve their self-driving code.

Kuiper? I mean, who knows. It's Amazon, so, they'll probably also try to expand into everything they can. I wouldn't be surprised if their delivery trucks will use it as backhaul.

You might notice that none of the above, so far, are actually aimed at connecting the unconnected. That's because the terminals, so far, are too expensive and too power-hungry. The only two initiative I'm aware of that are actually trying to connect the unconnected are:

OneWeb, which has truly global coverage (including the poles) and has a quite smart design, including working crosslinks and a relatively affordable terminal. Also, in the arctic, they can provide connectivity to militaries, so there's some good cashflow there.

Curvanet, an initiative by Tom Choi. They promise a sub $100 terminal that can run on 5 W (!) and does not require an ESA but can still deliver up to 50 Mbps. If they can actually pull this off I will buy a unit and stick on my roof just for fun. Also, if they succeed, they would be absolutely best-positioned in the market, as no one can (so far) match their cost or power consumption.
Ask HN: How would I write an app to find a 4 leaf clover?
I'm a reasonably competent programmer in several different languages. I'm not asking about how to write an app, but I've never trained a neural net, which I assume I would have to do. Then I would have to somehow break up an image of a field of clover into discrete units and test each one to see if it matches what my net thinks is a 4 leaf clover. Where would I start? Thanks.

> The technology advancements from the development of space are very significant and have big impacts for everyone back on the surface.

This is true, and I'm not arguing that there's no value in space exploration. I'm arguing that making going into space something that is common is a highly questionable goal, and isn't necessary in order to get the technological advancements that come with learning how to operate in space.

And, more to the point of the topic at hand, there is no value to sending business executives into space at all.

> I've heard the statistic that each orbital launch is the equivalent to the emissions of the cars of a few hundred people.

That may be -- but an orbital launch can't carry anywhere near as many people as a few hundred cars, even if there's one driver per car.

The proper way to measure this isn't to compare # of launches with # of cars, but the amount of pollution and fuel use per a standard unit mass of payload.

And cars (as well as airplanes) are actually good examples of why the increase in space launches concerns me. Both planes and cars are very harsh on the environment. But that wasn't a real issue until using them became possible to untold millions of people.
>the secular regular get-together groups for people without any unifying interests or socioeconomic status

Unfortunately, I don't think what you are describing ever existed. Every "get-together-group" I can think of has some kind of common interest, even if its something as simple as drinking coffee or reading books. I think your attachment to the church has a lot more to do with your emotions than thinking rationally. The way I see it, the cat is out of the bag with regards to organized religion. It is well known that there have been many corrupt religious organizations and heinous acts committed in the name of religion. To make the argument "The economy was shut down last year and there is a massive issue in our society with depression and loneliness as a result, but it's what those liberals deserve for leaving the church!" is asinine.

>Church is the only place they're going to be exposed to others that may share absolutely no interests with them

Are the bible, history of the church, the nature of reality, and developing a community not shared interests? Also, was the point of the article to only talk to people without shared interests? Isn't one of the first things you do when you get to know someone is try to find a common interest?

> I think it’s quite narrow minded and unfair to discard their contributions off-hand simply because you feel like 100% of the money you pay for an iPhone should go to the worker that pushed the button on the assembly line that put it together

I think it's quite narrow minded and downright evil to paint a picture as if this is what I'm doing.

I NEVER said the CEO doesn't matter. But certainly he doesn't matter as much as you and their salaries imply. Jobs died, guess what happened to Apple? Nothing. Steve jobs matters, but along with every other CEO in the world, if he suddenly dies, life goes on and not much happens to the company.

Additionally what the hell is this garbage about assembly workers pushing buttons? That's just one step in a highly complex process. There's designers, engineers, programmers and assembly workers. All of these people combined contribute far more than Steve Jobs saying, "build me a touch screen phone." Certainly you need someone to give the order but in no way is this person a critical part of the equation. You saying this is a deliberate distortion of what I am saying. The best word to describe it is: lies.

>[0]I’m not trying to put down their musical or performance talent, just commenting on the fact that even the greatest entertainment products are still just entertainment products and certainly don’t justify a huge x compared to CEO’s just because one song is more popular than another.

Yeah great job covering your ass while distorting and twisting my point. No dude. CEO's as they stand today deserve far less than celebrities. The entire operation falls apart without a celebrity. Not so for the CEO.

CEOs are an important part the equation for a product. But they are also the least important when compared to the rest of pipeline. The CEO is replaceable, the pipeline is not.
> The mystery to me is why IT departments run by a CFO are notoriously bad at IT. It seems like Finance will take cutting costs over increased revenue every day of the week; I don't know if they just hate taking on risk, or are just hoping someone will convince the board to hire a CIO and relieve them of the duties, but the end result is rarely pretty.

In my experience it is simply a reflexive dismissal of externalities. If you can get them to model the small but real (though fuzzy, so with error bars) costs (eg. higher employee dissatisfaction = increased turnover, lower productivity = increased time to market, etc.) of each cut it works out better: Sometimes the cumulative price does it, sometimes the cumulative uncertainty.

You've summed up my position pretty well.

If you're not religiously inclined, then you can treat the church as a social club and ignore the religious trappings. It would behoove you to keep your atheism to yourself though, because the church is better than just any social club because of the religious nature. While some number of public doubters can be tolerated without negatively impacting the group, if it gets to be too large a number then the main benefit of community and fellowship would go away.

I am making a position without reference to the truth value of the religious claims because I'm not going to get into a debate on HN over whether Christanity / theism is right or wrong. I personally think that even if you are a committed atheist, church probably is a good idea anyway. If you're a western committed atheist, some denomination of Christianity is probably best

> If you look at the actual speech that is being disincentivized this looks objectively terrible in our present context.

I'll give one example to see what the reaction ought to be.

A private citizen makes an otherwise legal speech at a political meeting - and youtube and all media wipe it out of the internet last week.

Regardless of the private citizen being Trump and the party being Republicans, a liberal ( as the word used to mean before) should have been up against such censorship.

'Moderation' does not come into play in this example, but there is nothing specific to moderate really in what is essentially a semi-private meeting of free people.
The phrase I used was actually “extinction scenario” rather than a singular event, and “most people die immediately, an unlucky few eke out lives of unspeakable horror and pestilence for a handful of generations before the species collapses entirely” was basically what I had in mind.

If a wallet is issued by government and you are the only one that can see the amounts, then government can ask for a view key with which they can confirm your balance.

This way there’s no way for anyone to store digital euros outside of government issued wallets.

I guess you could also do zero knowledge proofs to allow more privacy preserving queries compared to a view key.

But currently it is certainly possible to keep amounts and transactions private while at the same time have mechanism where a third party can inspect the true details but not require privacy preserving keys.

It's more than harmful—prior to the latest common usage, toxic usually meant potentially lethal for sufficient dosage.

So, while it is indeed free of connotations of intent, it evokes disgust and, in fact, invites ostracism. If something is so dangerous that it can kill you, there's rarely much wisdom in attempting to talk it out of being lethal. Better to just remove it from your environment.

In any case, I agree that the word is tragically overworked. And don't we all know that overwork can be toxic.

Sounds reasonable. I mean, if I got to set my own pay then how would I do it? Ok, so let's work this out, hmm?

"In 2020, The Wall Street Journal reported that the median pay for executives at 300 of the biggest U.S. companies reached $13.7 million, up from $12.8 million in 2019. The highest paid CEO out of companies on the S&P 500 in 2020 was Paycom CEO Chad Richison. For companies not on the S&P 500 list, Palantir CEO Alexander Carp and DoorDash CEO Tony Xu earned the most in 2020, with pay packages of $1.1 billion and $1 billion respectively." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_compensation_in_the_...)

There are around 160,000,000 workers in the US. (https://www.statista.com/statistics/269959/employment-in-the...)

If the workers became CEOs, paid like the median of the 300, that would be $2.2E15 (note exponential notation). The US GDP is something like $2.1E13. So, no, workers cannot become CEOs.

Executive compensation has grown significantly faster than wages, corporate profits, the stock market, and the economy for at least three decades. (Up something like 18% annually since 1978.) (https://www.epi.org/publication/ceo-compensation-surged-14-i...)
Man Harvests Methane for 8 Hours to Fuel Bike That Runs on Swamp Gas
its not punishing youtube its making sure private market forces don't distort speech rights across the entire country, as they are doing in the US.

Companies exist to benefit the state and the people. If a company is so successful it distorts rights for everyone and puts fundamental rights at risk, it's not 'punishing' the company even though it might feel like it. It's making sure the conditions that created success for youtube remain in place for future generations - free speech to some degree, competition, etc.

I think corporate personhood and corporate rights are a cancer on society and the corporatism/corporate state/fascism-lite that the west is already deep into is destroying the fundamental freedoms in the country. Disney will always have more money than you to argue for their corporate rights against your personal rights.

This ruling is wisdom.
Looks really cool. I am the CFO for a post series A company with 25 employees in the UK and last month migrated to Pento, who I guess you would consider a competitor?

I love the new employee experience. Now payslips get synced straight into our HR system (HiBob) and everyone can delete the horrible MyEPayWindow website from their bookmarks.

More importantly for me, the payroll administration side is significantly slicker. We used to spend significant time back and forth in emails with our payroll administrator providing manual updates of new starters and payroll changes. This was not scalable as our headcount grew. Now changes get synced automatically from HiBob. We actually pay slightly more to Pento than we paid the administration firm, but our calculation was that the time we saved was a bigger saving overall.

Anyway I think you are playing in a great space and there is a huge market. I look forward to following your progress.
I don't think it's just about successful startups or successful projects.

Personal example: growing up I practiced the piano for about a decade, 30 minutes at a time, usually 4-ish days each week. I got more disciplined about it as I got older. After 10 years, I went from not being able to play at all to being able to play genuinely impressive stuff. I'm not especially talented, but the consistent application of 30 minutes at a time really did add up to something wonderful.

No survivorship bias needed here. Anyone with access to a keyboard or piano could have done the same thing. Yes, you would've needed to want to learn to play at least a little, and yes, you would've needed to practice at least a little intentionally, but given those things, just showing up consistently over a long period of time can do wonders.

In the early 20th century, “multiculturalism” meant northern, southern and eastern white Europeans living together. In the documentary Australia in Colour, vintage TV advertisements portray immigrant ships containing northern and eastern white europeans as being “good for Australia” — a point of controversy at the time. Tellingly, what modern Australians would consider actually multicultural, e.g. integrating with E.Asians or Australian Aboriginals, was utterly unthinkable.

Yet in Australia and the United States today, the zeitgeist is that we’ve “always been multicultural”. This is clearly only superficially true: multiculturalism was only recently redefined to mean the integration of non-white europeans into predominantly white european societies. In the documentary, they explain following World War II, it was feared that Australia would grow weaker than its Asian competitors oweing to Australia’s low population, which many in government thought made them susceptible to capture by aggressor nations. This, AFAICT, was the real impetus for the Australian government becoming increasingly accepting of Asian immigrants.

And more recently, during the pandemic, the Australian housing sector has been calling for more immigration. Apparently, immigration powers much of the Australian housing sector [1]:

> A fall in migrants during the pandemic is causing a sharp drop in housing demand, with the sector urging the government to create a migration plan and extend HomeBuilder incentives.

Modern multiculturalism seems to be primarily based on economic and militaristic concerns, and is in no way based on a desire for social cohesion. See also: One Billion Americans [2]. Some say the US should strive to increase its population size to one billion for more or less the exact same reasons modern day multiculturalism came about. These people were never concerned with social cohesion: they’re entirely concerned with militaristic and economic might.
