I don't understand all these highly specific micro-sites that popped up on Stackechange.

Part of what makes Stackoverflow good is that it covers multiple subject areas, attracting many eyeballs from many different areas, and thereby having a huge amount of momentum from network effects and "social gravity".

Meanwhile all these other little sites are way too specific and have accordingly very small user bases. For example, there was no need to have separate sites for Stats, Data Science, Open Data, and AI. Nor does it make sense to have Software Recommendations be separate from Superuser. It just hurts the smaller communities IMO by driving fragmentation, and (horror of horrors) leads to duplicated questions across multiple sites. So much for being a high-quality archive of knowledge! More like a feudal kingdom of squabbling lords.

Maybe I'm just a misinformed outsider and there are good reasons for this pattern. But as a general user and former frequent-answer-er, I don't get it.

You still need a downlink base near you, so while you are ok on Cuba if the base station is Miami. Getting a connection on Easter island is still not possible without using the fiberlink to that island.

EDIT: looking at that map, it's better to say that Puerto Rico can not get a connection from Miami, but Cuba can.

Would turning on/off a high current A/C like this have any negative consequences? Some A/C units have a cooldown period after you turn them "off" via their button since they need to remove some condensation and perform other normal maintenance. Would that issue apply to cheep window A/Cs?
Ad Fontes puts NPR above both of those in terms of factual reporting. Then again, maybe Ad Fontes has their own biases. I don't know. I'm not an expert in this stuff, so I typically try to rely on those who appear to be. Maybe I'm just following the wrong piper.

Decomplication isn't forbidden, however a lot of acts related to decomplication are forbidden. Similarly you cannot reverse engineer a car and use that knowledge to build a replica to sell or to mass produce copies for your company to use. The special case here is that the information gained from decomplication can legally be used to fix bugs.

So basically the law is there to protect small shops from having their product stolen or their licence agreement circumvented by big companies. Otherwise a big company could just buy a single licence of your software, reverse engineer it, change it so that they get features for free they otherwise would have to pay for etc.

I'm really not sure why software is treated differently from eg. hardware.

Am I allowed to modify my washing machine, if i want to eg. use it for sous-vide? Sure. I might lose my warranty, I might not be able to resell it as a washing machine without disclosing the not-up-to-electrical-code work, but I'm pretty sure the manufacturer can not sue me for modifying it and/or posting an instructional video of how to do it.

Buying software and treating it as a "borrowing" is something that has to be stopped.

I remember developing web sites using Livewire and Netscape Enterprise Server, back in 1997 or so. It was neat, but terribly unstable (at least under Windows NT with SQL Server.) "Restarting" the application to see your updates was incredibly annoying. This also had a roughly 20% chance of crashing the web server due to the instability.

I post articles and deep-reads that I personally find interesting from all ranges of topics. I like hackernews because of the discussions and the comments.

Personally, I think the diversity of threads here is an asset. There was a front-page thread here on Ham Radio yesterday which I know nothing about but reading through the comments was fascinating!

Agree that sorting by /new and upvoting the content you like is hugely helpful.
NPR takes the cake for most deteriorated one-good news source over NYT. It is a real shame.
Of course... It has been taught in the most basic courses to design questionnaires since... forever... There is a whole science around that. Not only for mental health. Carefully identifying the best proxies and looking at the internal consistency of multiple answers and/or events/metrics is the intricate part of the design of the questionnaire.

Simple answer: depends. Depends on the specifics of your business and your own desires.

Here's one perspective that I recently listened to: https://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/episodes/episode-566-...
Facebook, Microsoft, and Google are so valuable because their marginal costs are 0. SpaceX Won't be worth 10x revenue. Companies in capital intense industries with high variable costs have caps less than 5x revenue, with 2x being common.
I guess they had faith that readers would be experienced enough to connect the dots.

Given the forum I too would have believed that to a reasonable assumption, but this thread shows it may not have been.
That study assumes PEM electrolyzers. If one uses alkaline electrolysis one doesn't need platinium group elements or proton exchange membranes. The efficiency is slightly lower (although I've seen a claim it's actually just as good in practice), but the cost could be very low.
I actually doubt there’s any. Seems like there’s a column of people who are so unwilling to stomach any criticism of Apple at any level, and freely act as corporate defenders pro bono. It is both maddening and puzzling. I’ve noticed this on HN for years.
If you have very inefficient code that makes all your systems crawl, a much smaller amount of demand could result in “drowning.”
> They're already the world's cheapest launch provider by a significant margin, and currently the only human-rated private launch company.

True. But the market is tiny. There have been 114 orbital rocket launches in 2020 [0], 25 of which were SpaceX F9 flights and 14 of them were Starlink deployment missions.

This means that currently, SpaceX is its own best customer with more than half of their launches being used to deploy their infrastructure.

As far as commercial crewed missions are concerned, there has been one so far with at least two further missions in the pipeline for the next 12 months. Even if I'm being generous and grant them two private crewed missions per year, that's not exactly a multi-billion dollar business.

Considering that Boeing isn't just in the space launch business but also is the second part of the global commercial jet duopoly besides Airbus and is a major defence contractor as well, I'd think that the valuation contains a lot of... optimism?

As it stands Starlink loses money with each customer for the ground equipment. Starship isn't flying yet and realistically speaking, the future of Starlink depends on that system to both work and be significantly cheaper than F9.

There's a lot of if's riding on that valuation.

You're right and Facebook should be taking action to reduce the negative effects their products are having on teens.

I have no idea if any of the recommendations at the end of the study were actually put into action.

To me a charitable interpretation of the tone of this presentation, which focuses on highlighting negative outcomes rather than celebrating positive outcomes, was to identify areas for improvement. Again, interpreting charitably, this means the company is interested in identifying and reducing negative impacts.

Again, I don't know if they ever made any of these changes. I would like to see more transparency from the company.

Definitely. Settings that have the perception of "streaming a video feed of your entire desktop" should be treated with more care.
Oh, I definitely bought into all sorts of notions my parent consciously or unconsciously tried to instill in me about video games, reading, etc. It's not all powerful but it is powerful.

None of the above.

#1 is ruled out as he takes apart a number of plug receptacles, from “cheap” to “heavy duty” and “commercial grade”, none of them sport the bumps you’re describing. He also points out that not all plugs have holes (using an ikea timer as an example), and observes that most plug-in receptacles don’t offer the kind of resistance one might expect if such bumps existed.

#2 and #3 are closer to the mark.

Apparently the holes are optional according to a standards body called NEMA (https://archive.org/details/NEMA-WD-6-2016/page/n24/mode/1up) and are generally intended for use in the manufacturing process.

“Hole in flat blade is optional, and is intended for manufacturing purposes only.”

Problem is that when you buy software you often get more code than you paid for, and that code is hidden by a feature flag. Reverse engineering the code and fixing that feature flag is therefore illegal, because otherwise that business model wouldn't work. In practice nobody will sue you as an individual for doing that, but lets say that Microsoft does it to avoid millions in licensing fees, then you have a reasonable legal case against them.

If what you say would be completely legal then many big companies would absolutely start doing that. Do you think that would be a good thing?

> This is not neutral at all.

I think you've got it backwards - the point is to be fastidiously neutral.

Some people think it's reunification, some people think it isn't. So instead of taking one side and saying what they think, they just tell you what the relevant person said. They aren't quoting a whole sentence, as it comes from a speech and they want to make it understandable without having to read the whole thing.

It's supposed to be simple reporting, not opinion. Especially if you look at the venue - it's a news agency.

This is all totally normal, completely above-board, best-practice journalism. I have no idea why people push back against it.

Are you possibly confusing quotation marks with scare quotes? That's not what these are. They aren't making a point using the quotation marks. They're trying to not make a point. Just to convey the facts.
This sounds like propaganda from the private prison industry. Until you allow doctors to maintain addicts you're going to have people dying from street drugs. But a city can only do the best it can SF doesn't control federal drug policy.

Becoming async is the hardest thing to pull off and the most important.

I've been working remotely for most of my career and pre covid companies that were doing remote correctly were async. I didn't even realise how big of a difference could that make.

I switched company during covid and the company wasn't async at all. What a nightmare. It was literally being on-call all day, the leadership keep mandating from above even more collaboration.
It felt like we were all prisoners of the call spying on each other and that whoever left would be considered badly.

After trying to change things, I just quit.
Finding a good remote company nowadays is much harder than before.
I see half of my friends being in 8 hours calls and half of my friends doing 15 minutes of work and then being off for the day.

Before covid, a company doing remote, was either broke and needed to save money on employees (easy skip) or it was investing massively in their employees and developing a remote culture.

Now that everyone is remote, there is a lot of bad in the group of non broke remote companies and no easy way to tell them apart.
Good question -- not in my case, but I think yes in a lot of other token auth cases. In my case I'm storing, per-user, a secret that I need to send to a third party from time to time. The client isn't in the loop for these; they're async.

We used PID in our robotics class (for driving). But I was dismayed how little literature there was on the topic. From my research back then “the details are closely guarded company secrets”.
note that phrase like "600ft³ of clean air" are misleading. filtration drops off rapidly with distance from the air purifier, so the fan would need to be quite oversized for a room to experience relatively even filtration. for most rooms, that wouldn't be comfortable, for both noise and draft reasons.

i'm down with air purifiers for indoor particulate matter (i.e., air pollution), but they're not really going to make a dent in covid transmission rates. transmission happens mainly during long face-to-face conversations, which mostly precedes/bypasses room air filtration.
True open source software is like ideas, it doesn't have borders and people that try tell you it does are ignorant at best or have ulterior motives.

In this case it's not even true. The commercial entities that play a big role in OpenStack are incorporated in the US but many of the engineers that do the actual work are located in the EU and available for hire in the EU talent pool.

> The effort to develop the engine in the first place probably took multiple people much effort when these games were first developed, and those programmers were paid; reverse engineering is harder and requires more effort and tenacity, and yet we still see a seeming overabundance of fully-functional complete reimplementations.

The counter point to this is you are reimplementing the solution. The initial implementation was solving a problem. Which means it took a lot of tries before coming to the solution that you don’t have to deal with when reverse engineering
