Being involved with 50% of close encounters makes sense when they have 50% of the satellites. And when they have 10x more satellites they'll have about 90% of all (currently projected) LEO satellites, so again being involved in about 90% of them will make sense at that point as well.

Kind of a nonsensical argument, if anyone else were putting out as many or more satellites then they'd be involved in a similar proportion of incidents. The part that matters is how SpaceX responds and coordinates with others to prevent collisions. You can't look at the raw numbers to get that.
The fact that the poster mentioned IP multicast and Aeron implies they are talking about HFT and Stock Exchange environments, where high performance switches with explicit support for low latency multicast are the norm and not the exception.

I think you're confused about copyright vs. patents and trademarks, since USPTO only registers patents and trademarks.

Copyrights are registered by the U.S. Copyright Office which is a separate agency.

https://www.copyright.gov/what-is-copyright/

You can learn more on those sites about the differences between copyright, patent, and trademark, and about the procedures and benefits of registering each. You may benefit from hiring a lawyer who is familiar with what you're trying to do and can give you individual advice.

If people are going to be able to move freely between servers, the metaverse will probably need a decentralised identity and trust system. This is a major unsolved problem in internet engineering generally.

The web would also benefit from such a system, but it's maybe less critical for the web, since most websites only contain information that is broadcast to users, and the users can't manipulate the state of the server or interact with other visitors.

True. And the case of what upscaling does is technically truly interesting and nuanced... but that doesn't mean that people don't have a sense of what zooming in does to an image, CSI "zoom and enhance" be willfully ignored.
Actually it’s much easier than that, and what the TAO group [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailored_Access_Operations] here does on a smaller scale. There is undoubtably easier and better scale in China since so much tech is manufactured there. They can get the firmware source (or require things be included), and chip masks pretty easily, even easier than the CIA or NSA getting them here. And I doubt any TLA has much problems with that here if they care.

The way you do this, is you have ‘partnerships’ with the major shippers where they match against known person of interest on your list. When someone has an interesting shipment to one of your targets, it gets flagged and set aside in a known location.

Since all new style equipment needs a basic plan to add targeted hardware/firmware attacks anyway, since if you need the capability to compromise any given target at will (which they do) you need the capability to compromise pretty much all common equipment readily available, at a minimum. All available equipment being a realistic requirement too.

Some bored tech will then take the already developed playbook for that specific piece of equipment, write the firmware or glue on the specific special chip to the board, pack it up, and hand it back to the shipper.

I did have blood work done fairly regularly as I was shedding weight so quickly. When I started I was on a variety of medications related to issues caused by my long-term obesity. The dramatic loss of body mass had dual impact both in reducing the dosages needed and in reducing (and eventually eliminating) the underlying health issue (e.g. T2D, high blood pressure, statins, etc).

The corporate culture serves a very specific purpose of lowering the self-esteem of the 10x folks, keeping them at their place doing 10x work at 1x salary until they burn out. This is scalable, predictable, and serves management's interests well.

You're right about dollars being only legally-fungible. It's been hypothesized that there are databases tracking when and where dollars are used based on serial numbers, but to my knowledge, there hasn't been any reliable confirmation of that. If there is such a database, at least it's not publically available like Bitcoin's is. So, I agree with you that Monero should be used over Bitcoin (disclaimer, I own some XMR).
Because the only way for the government to execute anything is to create a mindless, bureaucratic organization operating according to mindless, bureaucratic processes to do it. And the kind of person who will thrive in such an organization is not the kind of person who will be either good at helping others or motivated to do it. Only a private charity, answerable only to its owners and not to a fickle democratic process and a mindless bureaucracy, can exercise the kind of judgment required to find and keep the kind of people who are good at helping others and motivated to do it.
So if I stop paying Databricks, I can no longer use their proprietary query engine (Photon), right? I have to use something else, like Open Source Spark SQL which is slower and will cost a lot more money.

I can tell you what we have done historically when governments were malicious by consulting a history book, but I can't tell you what we will do in the future. The halting problem makes it formerly provable that it is impossible for me to tell you what we will do. To borrow a term from Wolfram, the problem is computationally irreducible. You're asking me for prophecy. I won't give you one.

Also, as a minor point: I said the true statement that sustained incompetence is not the same thing as malice. You quoted me giving examples of sustained incompetence being met with judgement. However, you asked me about situations pertaining to apparent malice rather than sustained incompetence. The situations you quoted aren't alike to the situation you asked about.

Even if they were alike they have no bearing on my claim that sustained incompetence is not equal to malice. Equality doesn't exist when there is a union. Equality exists when there is no disjoint.

There is one potentially valid interpretation of your question: instead of what do we do you could mean what ought we to do with apparently malicious governments. I admit I'm not an expert on this topic. You would be better off asking people who have studied political science, especially in the context of warfare wherein malice is more common.

"Reality" is necessarily a model. Your brain doesn't see photons, doesn't touch objects, doesn't respond to audio waves.

> Nor do we have to tolerate the intolerant (reference: Karl Popper, free speech and the paradox of tolerance).

Popper said we should tolerate the intolerant as far as possible. His statement mostly related to when the intolerant starts to get physical or other real actions, not people just talking, he wouldn't agree with this modern interpretation of his words: "don't let intolerant people speak, shut them up!". He was very much in favor of conversations, so a platform where tolerant and intolerant people can meet and discuss is exactly what he would have wanted.

Yeah it’s not like the browser you are using, the OS you have installed, or even the firmware of the keyboard you’re typing this on is written in C.
Tabs are actually a great UI element, both visually and functionally – and are easily readable (how form and function combine). Moreover, these non-tab buttons are not only lacking definition, they also occupy precious visual bandwidth by their clutter. (Bandwidth clutter and aesthetic clutter are quite different beasts, and for some reason, this knowledge seems to have been lost recently.)

This war on tabs in browser UIs has to stop. There is no such thing as a functional square wheel. I'm also speaking of you, Safari.

Hah! Thanks for commiserating. Yeah, I was all revved up. Even loaded up on Frank's Noodle House takeout - my all-night nerd-out favorite. Spent the last couple hours doing backups so I could jump into work tomorrow. Just got screwed by the last guy in the supply chain =\
I actually ended up returning the pair for some of the exact reasons the sibling mentioned. The biggest one for me was how mushy some of the buttons were. It was very difficult to tell if I had pressed the buttons or not. The noise cancelling was alright, but not good enough to be almost 2x as expensive as the 35 II’s. Overall very disappointed in Bose.
I always thought that there was degradation issues with higher current charging of the batteries and that that was the limiting factor.

Did anyone else read this article and feel like it is a lot of words to say very little? I feel like the core of the article can be summarized into this:

Air transport is still more expensive than shipping. But the magnitude is less than it used to be. This is because shipping is seeing bottlenecks and surcharges to handle the bottlenecks. Therefore it makes the more expensive air transport ok to use especially with time sensitive holiday purchases coming up.

If that sounds right, almost all that comes from the last few sentences in the article.

I think that's actually (partially) a more pedantically correct rendering. The scrollbar isn't depressable, although the buttons on either end are. Clicking the "current location" widget portion of the scrollbar doesn't do anything, so flat isn't wrong there - it's clicking in the non-inhabited zone that jumps ~a page up or down but that's not really captured by either the Windows 95 or the Windows 2000 aesthetic, if memory serves. Windows 95 got the depressable buttons at the top and bottom of the page right, though.

My thoughts exactly. I charge drone batteries (with caution) and their "C" rating determines how fast you can charge them. It is a physical property of the cells. You need a beefier battery (higher "C") to charge at a higher speed, not a better charger. I need more details, as obviously drone batteries are clearly not EV batteries!
That's not true! Of course it can be frustrating to try to get attention when so many other things are competing for it, and when randomness plays a large role. But it's simply not the case that most things make the front page as a result of vote manipulation, or similar things.

How would you suggets developers born in mid 80s/90s to learn COBOL and find COBOL jobs?

As far as I know, practically there are no COBOL jobs around me anymore. Big established institutions like telco and bank usually use Java. On the other side, the younger kids usually prefer something like NodeJS or Go.
I think the way I'd put it is that most of the claims there are orthogonal to the UI complaints people make. I don't see people complain about the ease of browsing to a desired place, sometimes I do it with the toolbar, sometimes the URL bar, sometimes the start page, who cares? None of these things have anything to do with borders on buttons...

If something has a clear advantage people don't tend to complain about it. The ability to search from the URL bar has a utility that is clear. Making tabs break a paradigm and be (mildly) harder to see doesn't really seem to have any utility and the system would work the same both ways.

I still use Firefox, don't get me wrong. But I don't understand why this stuff is changing before being made into a skin so that us old people can have something stay the same for a few weeks.
> My neighbor has to pay it too, and it's my neighbor that I'm bidding against for assets.

No, you're not. You're bidding against the government and all of the contractors the government hires to do things. And the government can print money; you can't.

> The world is full of zero (or negative) sum games that can be overcome through cooperation.

Yes, and one of them is called "special interest politics". The way to overcome that through cooperation is for people to cooperatively agree to not give governments so much power.

> my parents keep giving money to their church. I grew up there, I've seen what their charitable efforts look like. That's why I so strongly prefer programs like food stamps.

So basically, you don't think private charities, or at least churches, or at least churches like the one you grew up in, do a good job of helping people, based on your personal experience. Fair enough.

Next question: do you have personal experience with food stamp programs?

> I already do -- but statistics are a thing, I know that I'm atypical.

I'm not so sure, but let's assume for the sake of argument that you are. Then you have two choices:

(1) Since our country is a democracy, and since the majority of people don't actually want to help others (according to your hypothesis that we've accepted for the sake of argument), then you (and my wife and I, since we are atypical the same way you are) are outvoted. If the majority doesn't actually want to help people, their will should prevail and the government should stop doing it.

(2) If you want to argue that helping people is a good thing even if the majority doesn't want to do it, then you're admitting that you're willing to impose the will of a minority on the majority in a supposedly democratic country. In other words, you're basically saying that your will should prevail, on no other grounds than your personal opinion that helping people is a good thing.

Which do you pick?
Yes, it’s not recommended to do Tesla Supercharging regularly for this reason. Then there’s the matter of the actual charging infrastructure. It’s not like you can plug a ,as I’ve cable into your 100 amp circuit and it’s gonna work.
The cable is one of several bottlenecks in the charging system. Existing DC fast chargers already circulate liquid coolant through the charging cable. That's one reason they are so short and heavy.

TBH, it kind of freaks me out to handle even just the 50 kW cables.

From the article:

"Ultimately, charge times will be dependent on the power output ratings of the power supply and charging cable, and the power input rating of the EV’s battery. To obtain a sub-five minute charge, all three components will need to be rated to 2,500 amperes."
