> Low orbits do decay naturally in a few decades, yes, but MEO and GEO orbits can take thousands to millions of years to decay.

Tens of years? Try tens of months. The ISS has a minimum mean altitute of 370 km, a max of 460 km, and within those parameters loses about 2 km per month. But the lower it gets, the faster it falls. When it's on the lower end of it's range, it falls about 3 km per month and that would accelerate rapidly if allowed to go lower. As it is, the ISS is boosted several times a year; five times this year so far: https://www.heavens-above.com/IssHeight.aspx They can go as long as a few months without boosts, but not much longer than that. Not tens of years.

The ISS is big and draggy, but the situation isn't much different for smaller satellites in similar orbits. Two test satellites for Starlink, Tintin A and B, were launched to about 500km in 2018. Both have subsequently burned up in the atmosphere after less than three years: https://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=43216

Nice, I'll check out the Licanius Trilogy! Thanks for the recommendation.
The argument was that C is "compact and simple". The modestly size book is both an excellent introduction and a good manual for the complete language (for C89 anyway). That's not why the language is compact and simple, it's because the language is compact and simple.

In contrast Stroustrup's work is much bigger, and yet things that would later be claimed to be very important don't warrant a mention. Even assuming we accept that Bjarne is simply retrospectively imagining a motivation he never had at the time, and so these were indeed tiny inconsequential features when the book was written, somehow the "survey" of the C++ language in the much longer book is inadequate while K&R cover their entire language very well in fewer pages. Simply this is because in fact C is a "compact and simple" language.

People make a lot of claims about C that I disagree with, but it certainly is simple. If I could make modest adjustments in the light of what we know now, to what was standardised in ANSI C in 1989 - a few of them would perhaps simplify it further (don't do implicit narrowing just emit a diagnostic and give up; don't try to make volatile a type qualifier) but many would make it more complicated instead (more type safety, sum-types, and of course an actual length+pointer string type) just arguably to our considerable benefit.
>> For her part, Herring’s mother believes police had the right suspect in Williams. She blames ShotSpotter for botching the case by passing on, then withdrawing what she called flimsy data.

Regardless of the other aspects of this story (the ones to do with policing, justice, and technology) the fact that we heard nothing from Herring's mother and her conviction about the Williams' guilt reeks of emotional manipulation from this article.

Yeah, it was very pointedly awkwardly worded. It’s intended for human reviewers to distinguish a false positive from a real positive. An eigen vector mapped image isn’t going to do that, a heavily Gaussian-blurred image isn’t going to do that - it needs to be something that a minimum wage person who’s only been trained a day or to can distinguish as “CSAM” or “not CSAM” and that means it’s a thumbnail of sorts.

That would be the most ridiculous attempt at propaganda ever, by any nation - to change the green on one, single image that almost nobody would ever see.

"Henry, change that tree to grey, it'll change hearts and minds!"

More likely is that it was either a mistake, a joke, an individual actor doing something they shouldn't.

If it were an effort of 'systematic propaganda' then it would be consistent, you'd be able to find a number of such images.

JIT and VMI go hand-in-hand, they aren't mutually exclusive. Implementing JIT is to impose VMI on your suppliers.

The interesting thing was that Seagate avoided managing inventory by outsourcing to the logistics firm. The stock was technically Seagate's until it was ordered by Hitachi but the logistics company took immediate possession as pallets rolled out of the factory.

> The last bit works, as long as the slow transportation is closely controlled.

It didn't need to be controlled, just scheduled. You knew you need x units by d. The factory output n per week, so you could stagger shipments by way of different lines.

All of the inventory was tracked by serial numbers and it was interesting to watch it move because supply was often delivered to the warehouse out of order or shipments weeks apart arrived simultaneously.

Anyone aware of literature confirming or explaining this phenomenon?
They increased not because they deserved it, but because of their race and the change on policies. If Asians werent being specifcxally targeted but Blacks increased because their test scores increased, no one would complain. That’s what competition is all about. Everyone would celebrate their success.

But stacking the deck against Asians and letting in people via lottery strictly to change the skin color statistics is abhorrent.

No one cares if Asians are discriminated against, even though they deserve their place at TJ through hard work.

Oh how terrible... Taxes on 300 million in transactions by people who mostly don't affect my life directly at all were nefariously prevented from falling into the hands of noble government agencies that would spend them on wonderful things like severely bloated bureaucracies, wars, military equipment for local police, violent swat teams, grotesque drug war operations, pork projects and so forth. It's an absolute tragedy. I know that government spends much on many necessary public projects, but it also wastes vast quantities of tax dollars (arguably much more than is lost to money laundering or tax evasion) on boondoggles. Thus, at some point, it would be a good idea to also question the moralizing logic of associating all lost tax revenues with crushing losses to the "public good". Focus can also be made on simply forcing vast existing tax revenues to be used better, no?

Also, note: Libertine is not the same as libertarian, might want to know the definitions of basic terminology before slinging accusations of ideological bias.

So, apparently the best opening salvo is to take out USA comms satellites and that essentially cripples American offensive capabilities. Modern tomahawks are heavily reliant on comms networks to hit long-range ground targets.

Plus, any destroyer launching these at targets deep in Chinese territory will be within range of Chinese missiles. And, as we saw in Syria, Russian air defense systems are pretty effective against Tomahawks, and we should expect Chinese systems to be at least as effective.
This is missing the point though. Let's focus on #1 from above; most people who post things online probably want Google to index them and even do SEO tricks to get there. I post stuff about myself on my website because I want people to see it.

The issue comes when I put stuff on my website about someone else, as in your example. I want my content to be on Google, but you want my content off of Google. At that point, there's a conflict and it's not clear to me who should be resolving it and what position Google should take.

The options are:

1. No one gets to be indexed, which will hurt the millions who want people to discover their content

2. Google has to manually decide in every single instance like the one you mention in your post, that seems unrealistic

3. The status quo, which is that Google indexes what's posted publicly.
Sure, but those specific tools need to be written for each specific binary format.

And honestly they usually simply don't exist. In the vast majority of cases, in my experience.
This is definitely not true.

If the BBC's bias was so ridiculous that they literally changed colour filters to remove green trees from China images, then it would be obvious.

You'd be able to find dozens of such images, it would be trivial to spot.

A commenter above posted something about 'critical thinking' and yes, this is an example of that. Which stories are 'errors' or 'oddities of some kind' or 'individual doing something wrong' vs. consistent propaganda.

The BBC is a state actor and dose filter information in some ways, but 'painting Chinese tree grey' is definitely not it.

So I am nearly impossible to find. I’m trans and I changed both my legal first and last name when I changed my gender (and the docket was sealed so there is literally no record connecting my current name to my old one). I deleted my social media before I transitioned and I only have LinkedIn. And my new name is too common to easily find me without a few other qualifiers that would require knowing a few things about me (like where I work).

Credit reporting is one thing, but my experience is that they don’t do a great job connecting the dots. I’m still missing my student loans on my credit report, despite having not missed a payment in the last 8 years.

Hi All,

Not seen many k12 edtech projects showcased here, but would love some feedback on what you all think. I came up with the idea for Wurkbuk when I was a classroom teacher and made an early prototype using Google Apps for Education and Google apps scripts, with a bit of js and html. I used this in my classes for about 3 years as I wasn't happy with VLEs for k12 at the time (Google Classroom, edmodo, moodle etc). I wanted something that was more geared towards teachers, powerful enough for classrooms, but not too complicated. Just launched the Beta 3 of the new version (totally different from the early prototype!), so thought I would share on HN.

If there are any educators (k12 or not) in here, would love to hear your thoughts. If not, then your opinion is still valued. Feel free to check out the info site (wurkbuk.com) for more background, or the youtube videos on how it's used (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq0jpXq780-TKPoqyaa-4...). I linked the demo site on the url, as it is already populated with fake students and assignments and stuff.

I know you guys are gonna be honest, so have at it :)

> PV panels are the future of energy, so you need to have domestic factories no matter the cost.

Another benefit of domestic factories is domestic innovation. It's much harder for an engineer coming out of university and going through their career working at an office computer terminal to ever make a breakthrough innovation, if they can't step inside the factory to see how things are really done.

If that factory is down the street, it's much easier to do an apprenticeship, get a tour, or chat with the manager about their pain points. If it's in another country, you'll have to schedule a formal visit and you'll probably need to be a very important customer for that to happen.

Grad students coming out of a research lab would tend to focus on getting an extra 0.2% cell efficiency, but it's more likely that the innovation that makes PV competitive is something like reducing the scrap rate, or figuring out how to run cells through the QC machines more quickly.
So what it sounds like is that using Codex to write code is like replacing your computer with an intern: can write plausible-looking code and commit messages, but needs constant close attention from an experienced engineer to stop it from turning into a bug machine.
At a previous place I worked, someone setup something similar with `git pull && ansible-playbook` on a cron

It was using GitHub so just needed a read-only key and could be bootstrapped by connecting to the server directly and running the playbook once

In addition, it didn't need any special privileges or permissions. The playbook setup remote logging (shipping to CloudWatch Logs since we used AWS heavily) along with some basic metrics so the whole thing could be monitored. Plus, you can get a cron email as basic monitoring to know if it failed

Imo it was a pretty clever way to do continuous deploy/updates without complicated orchestrators, management servers, etc
I heard stories something similar was done against Jews in Soviet Union.

At the expense of Asians because Asians are always considered foreigners not minorities. Blacks and Whites only think of Blacks and Whites as Americans. Asians are called “Chinese”. So no wonder when the school board sees 75% “Chinese” at TJ they think it’s unAmerican and want to “fix” it.

Serious question ... why only women?

I know you list reasons such as "women were disproportionately being rejected by credit cards", but at the end of the day isn't this something that can help out anyone?

I'm curious why you are throwing out 50% of your potential customer base. I don't fully understand what a "credit card for women" is ... are you going to come up with clone targeted under a different name towards males?

I'm sure it depends on your industry and location.

In silicon valley software companies (e.g. Google, FB, Twitter, Stripe, Airbnb, Uber, and all the smaller companies following the same interview & career ladder playbook) a senior engineer or L5 is just someone with around 5+ years of experience. They might have a few more meetings and spend a bit more time working on design docs, planning, mentoring others, etc. compared to more junior engineers, but their primary job is still writing code. Even at higher levels like Staff and Principal engineers, less time might be spent writing code and more time in meetings, leading committees, approving the largest in scope design docs, etc. but there are so few of these people and the bar is so high to get there that they were at least at one time some of the strongest engineers at the company, and they still code sometimes even at this level. In the entire IC track at these companies, I suspect you'll find approximately 0% of people that are so incompetent they are just unable to implement fizzbuzz. In the management track you'd find some, but even there I suspect quite a low percentage.

In other industries, maybe banking, large contractors, more old fashioned megacorps like the GE's of the world, I think there might be more "architect" and other technical tracks that are allegedly still programmer IC tracks but where the senior folks are much further removed from programming and wouldn't be able to implement fizzbuzz.
>Government can't make a website, let alone a chip fab.

Tbf, many (most?) government websites are built and maintained by private companies. Remember the ACA website debacle a few years back? The government was mad at the contractor for building a shoddy product. They claimed they would take action against them but I’m not sure anything happened. If the government should be held to task on anything it should be an inability to write good contracts or hold companies feet to the fire. I’ve heard civil servants are unwilling to to the latter because they don’t want to hurt businesses or are afraid of legal protests.
This sounds right up my alley - one question: do you use this books are reference in the future to help cement your learning? I feel like I would also end up never looking in them again just like you mentioned with the physical notebooks.
