They have a license for 7x as many (12k vs 1.7k right now) and are applying for up to 30k.

The bunched ones will be freshly launched batches of satellites that have not reached their target altitude, they will spread out in the process.

The latitudes that they overfly are currently limited to up to 53°. The explanation might not be the easiest but here it is: satellites go around in a circle or ellipse that lies on an imagined plane, the so-called orbital plane [0]. This plane can be at an angle with the equatorial plane which is called the "inclination" (this value also gives the maximum latitude that they reach). Starlink uses a lot of these planes, each rotated a bit further around the globe [1]. This is so that all areas on the ground will be in sight of one of the satellites eventually. Starlink should also be able to function a bit further to the north than 53° latitude right now but for any latitude much higher than this, users will need to wait until SpaceX has a working network in polar orbits (i.e. not flying on these tilted plains but more or less directly over the poles instead). They are required to eventually serve Alaska, for example.

Err, any examples?
Yeah, those are the right questions. The point of the article is that people who go to the hospital for non-Covid reasons - eg, broken leg, heart attack, cancer - and then test positive are being counted as "hospitalized with Covid" even though they don't have a severe case.

So the statistics are being skewed. We don't really know by how much, because the article doesn't say how many went to the hospital for Covid-related symptoms.
I think this is a little different for those wanting to build a VC-backed business vs a bootstrapped business.

If you are getting investors, managing them is a full-time job - so you really need to quit what you are doing.

Perhaps we need a few separate lists of stupid ideas - for bootstrapped companies, for B2C companies, for disruptive companies, etc.

Bravo! That's great. I've heard about https://www.remove.bg/ but this is next level (or two).
I'm mainly talking about the hardware. The mouse had actual bearings in it instead of just a plastic wheel. The quality of the build was insane. Imagine a world where you have that build quality coupled to the right to repair and highly modular design.
That doesn't match my experience. Two decades ago everything was in constant flux and more unreliable, but nowadays it's rare to find broken builds. It's only difficult if you distribution puts headers and such in separate packages, or splits up stuff so much that it's hard to tell what you actually need. Can't remember the last time I had to intervene to compile a random GitHub project I wanted to try out. It just works.
I'm inclined to agree and I'd be interested to see this process applied to some of the raw footage featured in the the award season campaign. It's also worth noting that in addition to de-aging they also changed De Niro's eye color.

The industrial design of those systems was nice but the Micro Channel architecture bus was an abject failure that never got traction.

I may be wrong, here, so correct me if I'm off.

My understanding is slaveholding was mostly by plantations (large farms engaged in commercial crops tobacco/cotton). Most farms were not plantations (or haciendas/fazendas south of the border coffee, sugarcane, mining). So most farms in the south had no slaves, but large plantations had many slaves.
I think the whole point of the show is that Clarkson makes mistakes and then has to be corrected by sensible people who do know what they are doing.

> "are financially secure."

That's the key point: If you are financially secure you will have less stress.

If you are not, you just change your dependence on a boss to a dependence on weather, bugs, pests and plant diseases.
The only people who think farming sounds great are people who have never farmed. Having all your income depend on the weather or random government policies/tariffs is heart breaking. You need tremendous scale to weather the storm. Go watch "Clarkson's Farm" to get a glimpse of the realities. (Remember that he is extremely rich and doesn't even care if the farm loses money.) The only good thing about farming is that you only have to work half days, just pick any 12 hours you like!! (Source: both of my families have historically farmed.)

I think there is old line about how to become rich racing cars. First, you start out extremely rich. Then, you start a race team. The same is true with farming. Unless you start out rich or inherited the farm for free, it is going to be a slog.
Yeah, the article is definitely bootstrapper-centric.

This. They really need to invest in a better UX above anything else right now, imo.
But they will clear up spaces (and doctors and nurses) in other wards.

And they're hospitalized "with" covid and not "by" covid. They might even be asymptomatic, in the hospital because of a broken leg, and they count towards the statistics that we then use for new lockdowns.

Same with deaths "by" covid and deaths "from" covid. I know it's hard to say, when an 85yo patient with 6 different illnesses dies, if it was the covid that killed them or if it was unrelated heart failure.

There was even a time where once you tested positive for covid, you could only die from that, and nothing else: https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/why-no-one-can-ever-recover-fr...

> In summary, PHE’s definition of the daily death figures means that everyone who has ever had COVID at any time must die with COVID too. So, the COVID death toll in Britain up to July 2020 will eventually exceed 290k, if the follow-up of every test-positive patient is of long enough duration.

This was changed to 28 days (i think) later, but atleast having a soft separation of "with" "by" and "maybe/probably by" would also mean a lot.
Paint.NET was open source, but a pirate would download the code, put their name over the author’s, and click build. That’s a very clear case of copyright violation, but the author decided it wasn’t worth the effort (especially if the pirate is in another country).

It’s like complaining that Xbox consoles are inadequate for not playing PS games when it’s already established that they won’t from the jump.
Well if the subsidies stopped and some farmers quit, then the producers would have to pay more. And farmers would return. I don’t get this constant subsidies to farmers everywhere. We take your taxes and shove it to farmers so you can have cheap corn and get fat. Maybe if some products werent so heavily subsidiest farmers would other, better food.
Right! Lots of finger pointing - but what it pointing at?

A few years ago there were no sites not working in FF. Now it's my banking site (top 10 or 20, BNP subsidiary), it's a local mountain resort integrated payment, it's several internet shops. My 2fa token is collecting dust because web sites support only google implementation of 2fa. Firefox itself if in shambles and constantly tried to googlify itself, be it UI or addon api. The trend is worse and worse every day, now that FF is below 10% adoption. Soon single Google Chrome browser will take over completely.
It's also worth mentioning that Apple is a hardware company and that you need a Mac to even compile native apps for their platform.

Is anyone aware of a list of when ground stations went online or a scheduled for future ground stations going online?

I'm curious because a review of starlink that I don't think was all that dated, did some testing from a rural middle American ranch where they were unable to get a connection, supposedly due to the satellite being unable to connect to reach a ground station. The surface level reach of the satellites should have not been an issue though based on my calculations unless some base stations cam online since the testing done as part of the review I watched.

Kinda a lot of episodes were like that. The more interesting episodes I think it was more of a he was 'a sly little elf perched on his toadstool'. He was unassuming. He disguised himself to be invisible and would pick apart everything usually very methodically. He 'took a defect and used it as a tool'. Even the way he would blow people off was to be unassuming 'oh my boss he is a very exacting man', 'oh just a routine question'. When it was usually him looking for that information. He would many times make the perp 'self own' themselves by their own lies.

The writers were also very good on making sure motive, means and opportunity were clearly picked apart in all ways. Apparently the whole crew was in on it and would make sure that the story stayed true. Making sure things were filmed so they did not contradict later or past actions.

The 90s series was a bit less tight and more of the 'stick it to the rich'. They were enjoyable enough. But something was missing.

China's Olympic Swimming Pool: Redefining Fast (2008)
The day my ex-boss said to me we didn’t need to test releases in safari anymore, I added some metrics to determine how many safari users would be affected.

As it turns out, not only were safari users not using our product, practically no one was. At the time I had no choice but to carry on, but now that Flutter supports desktop, I don’t see my self doing web apps, progressive or not, in the future.

I’ve been a web dev for well over a decade, but let’s face the writing on the wall—the web was never intended for apps. But HTTP will live on and that’s what matters.

Open protocols is and always was and will always be what makes the web, and I feel it’s time we as developers should be able to and focus on developing protocols once we are provided the tools to do so—but using open web standards like SPARQL and WASM to name two I have in mind—but still semantically HTTP. The best analogy I can think of was what docket did for dev ops.

I honestly feel like the web as we know it today is a lost cause. Not even Google can make sense of all the SEO collusion. It’s all so inhospitable and seedy now and just another marketing channel. But I’m confident something better is on the horizon and I bet many of us here are working on it.
It's a Tory (conservative) paper and always has been, traditional or reactionary depending on your point of view. Not sensationalist.

The Irish comic Dave Allen characterised the British press as follows:

One of the things about Britain, actually: you can always tell the way a person votes by the paper they read. For example, The Times is read by people who run the country. The Financial Times is read by people who own the country. The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who own and run the country. The Daily Mirror is read by the people who think they run the country. The Guardian is read by people who think that they should run the country. The Morning Star, or as it used to be known as, the Daily Worker is read by people who think that the country should be run by another country. The Daily Express is read by people who think that the country should be run as it was. The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think that it still is. And The Sun is read by people who don’t care who rules the country as long as they’ve got big boobs.

Yea you mean subsidies like 401ks, office building tax subsidies, welfare and food stamps for baristas and janitors instead of living wages, subway systems, and people getting stimulus checks to work from home?

plantnet works very well. I have also used Google Lens (the magic button on Google Photos on Android) but I have the subjective feeling that plantnet works more reliably for plant identification.
> You're making my point with every sentence.

No, I'm not. You're treating your own ethics as being universal and absolute. I don't agree with all of your implied premises.

In a vacuum, defending the harassed students would be ethical. But it isn't a vacuum, and the university has a responsibility not to burn cash (or brand value) on lengthy legal battles that only affect a small minority of students. A large public school in the US could harm literally 100,000+ people (with degrees completed or in progress) just to spare a few students from an unpleasant project.

> But the University has a responsibility to step in if that doesn't work.

Yes, they do. That's a much milder assertion than your original one. "Stepping in" does not immediately mean a lawsuit, disciplinary action, or expulsion. It probably means the professor would just ask the student to complete the project alone.
Personally I don't find wide sq. footage to be super necessary. My unit is less than a third of your space, and even then on a day-to-day basis I really only use half of that (home office, living room, kitchen).

I grew up in a giant house and spent most of my time in my bedroom / living room.

I will admit it helps to have a nice view and peace and quiet.

I think that in isolation this is a completely fair criticism of the NY Times. My point would be that not every topic covered by them suffers in the same way. Check out some of their topic feeds:

- https://www.nytimes.com/section/world/middleeast

- https://www.nytimes.com/section/business/economy

- https://www.nytimes.com/topic/subject/nuclear-energy

- etc.

I'm not suggesting that these stories are all perfect. But, my claim would be that they don't suffer from the same problems (or at least to the same degree) as the very loud Trump vs. Biden bias that may exist there. It ought to be possible to say something like the following: "The NY Times probably has a measurable slant when it comes to reporting on the major US political parties, however that particular bias does not directly bleed into all other areas of their reporting."
