SpaceX launch capacity must match being able to launch Starlink satellites (as well as upgrading them) as quickly as Starlink demand scales, as that's the revenue stream they're planning to rely/depend on. If rollout is slow, service is subpar/poor, then it won't scale as well because they won't want to oversaturate the available bandwidth.
Absolutely. Google definitely seems to favor consumer stuff and the most general query result possible. It's near impossible to find specific information about a certain product or item without wading through tons of shopping sites and empty review sites. And now Google removes nearly all of the specific search terms, where I normally have to click "must include" or preempt it by wrapping every word in quotes. Sometimes, I ask myself what's the point if I search for something because Google unrefines the search by removing words to return the most results in terms of quantity and generality.

I use the reddit suffix for topic expansion. It helps to observe people discussing a topic and discover its facets that way as opposed to potentially getting a one sided treatment in a reference starting point like wikipedia. After I get a lay of the land, that's when I start down Wikipedia sources.
Spotify has a free tier too of course, with a bit more free users than paying ones according to Wikipedia.
The Arab reports and European reports differ on that point. As you look into it I'll remind you that Libya is an oil-rich nation, very close to Europe, and I urge you to compare the actions used to justify the anti-Gaddafi interference with the actions of other nations who were not subject to European interference.

I'm an Israeli Jew, I have no love for Libya and they no love for me. But in my opinion it is very clear why Gaddafi was overthrown, and it fits a pattern.
[Mithril.js author here]

FYI, the krausest benchmark is known among framework authors to be not very good (it weighs some aspects much more heavily than others and has been gamed by various toy-ish "frameworks" that aren't all that practical in real life).

With that said, people obviously use React and even Ember (which are on the slower side of the krausest rankings) out in the wild and they're generally fine frameworks: asciinema-style "render-a-huge-grid-at-60fps" is very much a niche use case that 99.9% of people don't have.

I think the most accurate way to describe Mithril.js is that it aims to be a "get-out-of-your-way" sort of tool, in the sense that if things go wonky, you can generally reason about the low level reason as to why that is the case. For example, in Mithril.js, `render` is not just a first-class concept but an explicit API. So if you ever run into an issue where the template doesn't update for whatever reason, you can intuitively infer exactly what to do to unblock yourself. No need to reason about stale closures when debugging useEffect, observable/signal composition, or similarly complicated mental models. Reactivity, specifically, is great for squeezing performance from needle-in-the-haystack sort of updates when you have humongous haystacks, but it does also have caveats: if Svelte ever doesn't update the template for some reason, the mental model required to understand reactivity membership graphs and reactive bindings and where the compiler has jurisdiction and all that jazz are quite a bit more complicated than "ok fine, just slap a render call in this library's event handler".

The thing you said about vanilla objects follows from those principles: as a JS person, you know how objects work so you're never going to run into cognitive dissonance about the semantics of your primitives.

The verbosity thing I think is more a testament to Svelte being terse than anything else. Mithril.js isn't really verbose compared to other frameworks, IMHO.

How do we stop this cycle where it's a (well-deserved) reluctant goodbye every time a company we like seeks to go public and IPO? It's like the writing's on the wall and we already know what's going to happen..

We're in a segment of time where companies are so over-valued by VC that when they go public they have no choice but to engage in egregious practices to maintain the stock price. It often alienates the customers/users/supporters that got them there.

Is this the inevitable outcome in all cases or is this a symptom of a flaw in our model?
Giphy is much more than a GIF though. Here's a link for example: https://media0.giphy.com/media/mlvseq9yvZhba/giphy.gif

"SIMT" is not an architecture, it's just a programming model that ultimately boils down to wide SIMD instructions with conditional execution. Add that to a barrel processor that can hide memory latency across a sizeable amount of hardware threads, and you've got the basics of a GPU "core".

Yes to LinkedIn, but also reach out to people you know. If you've been with the same company for nearly 10 years there must be a number of people you worked with who have moved on to other companies that you could consider applying to.

I work for a company that maintains DNSSEC on our FedRAMP deployment. It's not unreasonable to ask for signed DNS records if feds are going to hit them.

Your blog post makes the supposition that DNSSEC is only being pushed as an alternative means of security to CA for TLS. While it makes a compelling case that this isn't realistic, there are other security concerns that occur from the compromise of DNS records. If the government is going to use a DNS record, it should be signed by a zone owner.

Slack is actually a good use case for this security enforcement, because they maintain a handful of domains that are extremely authoritative for their messaging service[1]. If you can't maintain a security protocol on four domains that are crucial to the operation of your service, you maybe aren't cut out to supply software for the government.

Now the interesting question is this: if your government did something like this - what would you, could you, do about it? That's the scary question, because the answer is "almost nothing". That's especially true if "Inditer Pro" had, say, a 90% success rate. (Success is defined as "% convicted". To solve this you offer a choice: plea bargain or indefinite detention until a trial. It would be more correct to accuse people of random crimes, cuff them and put them in a cruiser for a few hours, strip them and put them in jail clothes, jail them for a day or two, put them in shackles for hours before a "hearing", and then see how many plea deals you get. I suspect your "clearance rate" would be over 90%, too)

Commodore did have a fair bit of compatibility within the PET/CBM line.

The C128 is a good example of how Commodore did compatibility wrong. Instead of creating a 100% C64 compatible mode, separate from the C128 mode, they should have taken the C64 and added a second bank of 64K of RAM, an MMU, an enhanced VIC-III with added registers for the enhanced graphics (eg. colors, resolutions, sprites), a second SID, a 2 MHz CPU, an enhanced KERNAL, and an enhanced BASIC that had the same tokens as BASIC v2. While C128 mode was very similar to the C64 mode, it wasn't enough to run hardly any C64 apps and games without modifications.

I don't blame Bil Herd for what the C128 is though. It is a great computer, especially considering he was fighting the top levels of Commodore to get it out the door. If he'd had more support, it could have been better.

On what grounds would that business be blocked?

On grounds having being state controlled? I'm not sure US regulators do have that power. On some pretend grounds, to be able to wield it as a geopolitical weapon? Probably not.

On some narrow national security reasons? Maybe.

To be absolutely fair, if you grew up before optical audio (or in my case grew up seeing a lot of pre-optical audio media), 24 fps is odd. Before 24fps , frame rates differed anywhere down from 12 up to the 40s.

Then there's animation. If you watch a lot of anime (on threes - 8fps minimum) or Western animation (on twos so 12fps minimum), 24 again doesn't hold any magical value.

Personally, I prefer higher frame rates for the one reason that so many inexperienced cinematographers will not account for strobing in 24fps camera movements.

Auto interpolated TV is crap though. I hate it. I can always see the artifacts and the issue is that it messes with the motion.

When I worked in animation, you'd see someone reviewing content and forget to disable motion interpolation. All your movement is soft, because the TV doesn't know what an impact looks like. So any foot step will get smoothed out. It totally ruins the character
I think that another reason not mentioned here for missing on organic results, is that many such results have moved from forums to closed garden facebook groups (and of course facebook's own search is even worse, possibly to encourage people to ""engage"" rather than find what they're looking for).

But almost all countries are more liberal than those two. My question isn't if the US and UK are the least enlightened countries in the world, but rather, if people see them as particularly enlightened among countries. Ie compared to any other random liberal country like Mexico or Czech Republic.

I understand OP's point, just curious whether the examples used reflect a common perception. To me when thinking of stereotypically enlightened societies, I think of Iceland or Canada or something. The US I think of more as a business+war society, and UK seems somewhere in the middle, but much lower than the rest of Europe.

This is based on nothing objective, just wondering what other people's perceptions of these places are

Are there any resources/things you wish you knew before you wrote and self-published a book? I am considering writing a short essay on making security decisions from the business point of view.
> The profit motive inherent to a public company does not seem compatible with that mission.

You cannot have any kind of a company without profit. Period. I am not sure where the vilification of profit comes from (not addressing you in particular but rather the general concept), its just silly.

Companies have layers upon layers of costs in their financial equation. Employees and ongoing operational expenses being the easiest to understand. If you operate without profit, the company dies. The simplest visual for this might be that if no-profit means zero dollars in the bank account at the end of the year. After all, "no profit" or operation "near cost" would result in exactly this kind of a situation. Which would, in turn, kill the enterprise almost instantly.

If you want a company to produce and evolve products (any kind, physical or otherwise), it must be profitable. Without profit there is no innovation or longevity. At best you get a slow painful death.

In addition to this, the pandemic has to have taught everyone the other dimension of the necessity of profit. When things go wrong --for whatever reason, pandemic, economic downturn, market shifts, etc.-- a business must have sufficient financial backing, reserves and strength to navigate the storm and survive. Without this they would have to instantly lay off massive numbers of employees, shut down operations, cancel leases and contracts, etc.

In short, if you (plural, not addressing the poster I am responding to) care a company --whether it is cause driven or just a good product company-- you have to care about them making a profit or watch them evaporate.

Here's a challenge for anyone who does not believe this:

Provide the names of ten companies of non-trivial scale who have operated with zero or near zero profit for, say, 25 years, without external donations or other financial inputs to make-up for the lack of profit. Just ten companies. If I am wrong, it should not be too hard to present such a list.

Hint: Even charities have to operate at a profit. Without this they would not have people, offices, marketing and the means to perform their stated charitable objectives.
What's kind of funny is there was a time where Google used to stand for --literally anything-- and would punish a site like reddit on search results for having such a user hostile interface.

For some reason though (probably because they used AMP) they basically allow them to do anything they want. Multiple popups, hijacking click events for login modals, and hiding the content with no impact to search results.

So now, in all the glory of the Internet, the person who genuinely wrote the best blog post on the "warmest winter coat" is completely unfindable on normal Google search or you force yourself via a reddit query to a completely hostile user experience unless you login.

It would be cool to just be able to do something like this "warmest winter coat --hobbyist-only".

Yes, it all comes down to Broadcom. Of course, that is a choice as well. They could've chosen a more open SoC, though there aren't many options. Most open hardware projects use the NxP (nee Freescale) i.MX series, which have open datasheets and open (with login) reference manuals.

It makes sense that a bunch of ex-Broadcom engineers looking to make a cheap computer to educate children would use their connections at Broadcom to get an old cheap SoC. The closed schematics and bootloader do not matter to teaching kids scratch and python. I guess it isn't surprising that they haven't changed course since they've been so successful, but it is disappointing.
>LinkedIn is pretty good, however I really do hate the photos. The main reason we don't have photos on resumes in the West, is because it opens you up to discrimination. My physical appearance should have nothing to do with my hireabilty

I think this can go both ways. As a black person, I honestly prefer when people reach out to me via Linkedin because I at least know they are aware of my race ahead of time. I've had plenty of interviews where, because I have a white name and sound and act white over the phone, people have treated me completely differently after meeting in person. I'd rather just be able to be up front about it.
