Yes but I think the plan is to have any satellite that is over a ground station to be the relay for others. Send up to a sat then sat to sat via laser and then down to the ground.

I'm curious how far each satellite is from the other, do they need line-of-sight. And how much it adds to latency since signals received and sent have to go through networking equipment within each satellite.
> Myopia being primarily down to the eyeball growing too long is extremely, extremely well supported by research

Here's a link to a research about the eyeball shortening in adults: http://europepmc.org/article/med/3688185

I think you misread, there is no disputing the fact that eyeball gets longer, I remember him explaining that you have myopia because your eyeball got longer.
Of course it matters. If banks bare the cost, they have to pass it on to their customers by raising rates. If the public pays for it, the government and central bank will end up printing money --one way or another -- to pay depositors.

And all this mind you only IF people move a substantial amount of their lira deposits to the new product AND the lira depreciates more than the rate on the underlying lira deposit account (only then are savers eligible for the kicker rate).

So far, savers have moved around 10b liras into this product, out of a total 4.3 trillion lira of deposits.

You're telling me banks raised rates because of that marginal shift? And even though, I repeat, they don't have to pay for it?

Totally agree. I have been talking about this for the past year. The cost of lockdowns in the Netherlands is ridiculous. Everyone says we can't scale IC blabla. In a crisis we can even put mechanics at beds if we need to.

For me personally it shows it isn't that serious as the fear mongering would like us to be believe
In the multilateral case, recognition of Taiwan by the UN has long been something that China has had veto power over.

In the unilateral case, China prevents individual countries from recognizing Taiwan or even implying it’s independence through threats and retaliation.

A recent example: https://news.yahoo.com/china-threatened-send-lithuania-garba...

The only reason Taiwan is not considered sovereign under international law is because China has prevented it.
Email is honestly not that hard to get right, but you do have to get a lot of stuff configured correctly for everything to work well. I've never had a lot of problems with blacklisting and at one point, was running about 48,000 messages per day sending marketing emails (ecommerce sites, to subscribed users) and transactional emails. Deliverability issues were few and far between, and most often were caused by MS Exchange admins at distributors (where we would send orders via email) who just didn't understand how the internet worked (like blocking all domains that weren't .com, .net or .edu). My favorite was one who blocked .io because he personally only got spam from that TLD.

On the whole, just use a service makes sense in that the time you spend on email probably could be spent on things that make money. If you have an app that sends a lot of emails, understanding how it all works can be a very useful skill, too. So is learning to work with admins at big service providers.

I meant support in a more direct manner. For example, writing a piece of software that does better Markdown importing to Notion.so. You're only enriching Notion.so's system, you're at the mercy of their API, whims, and bugs.

There is no black/white category of what is direct support though. It's a spectrum. And these are my own personal heuristics, rooted in my experiences and found benefits/drawbacks of my own projects and working with people.

However, if you're a resident/citizen of a Western nation and earning your livelihood there, I'll encourage you to take another look at the whole situation and decide for yourself if CCP model and its behavior towards other nations and even its own minorities is really the right model for any country, let alone China.
I'm just arguing against the "and you can listen to whatever you want, wherever and whenever." statement. It's just literally not true. Tool wasn't available until a couple years ago either. Sometimes I stumble upon major artists and am like, "Oh, wow. Why haven't I heard them in so long?" And then I see that they just signed a contract to stream.

I think the most likely explanation is some executive who himself lacks sympathy with the vast majority of the classes of people working underneath him read something or had some isolated experience, or both, relating to the utility of the technique, overgeneralized it, and the instituted an overgeneralized, poorly considered, mandate around a broadly-useful concept, rather than initiating an effort to find a way to incorporate it as and where appropriate.

And that's a pretty accurate description of what many people with a stake in the JWST will be feeling. Not awe, but terror.

This is simply not true[0]. To quote:

> This is really unfortunate, but GNOME 3.8 does not require logind. I discussed the non-dependency of logind+systemd on #gentoo-desktop and why they thought different. Apparently GDM 3.8 assumes that an init system will also clean up any processes it started. This is what systemd does, but OpenRC didn’t support that.

Systemd was adopted because it was (and still is) simply superior in many aspects to previously available process managers, because application developers had it up to here to maintain n different init scripts for n different distributions and distribution packagers didn't want to have to write custom init scripts for each application anymore.

As an example, check out the discussion around the adoption of systemd in Debian[1].

Second not spending hundreds of thousands to millions in dev on a product with no market vs having to buy a new domain because your site went viral and you now have millions of bad reviews. (Hint: this never happens) Is great advice.

There’s also other ways to do it, my friend was creating a course so I got her to do all the marketing first, set a date six months out and used the proceeds of the first sales to fund development.

What I’m trying to get at is to verify sales you need to get people to put their money on the line.

The fact that google and Microsoft have together killed email hosting stone dead is no accident.
It's a rather simple Postfix setup:

transport.db:

hotmail.com relay:[relay.server.tld]:587
# and other domains

main.cf:

transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relay_passwd

relay_passwd.db: # if necessary / not authenticated by IP
relay.server.tld user:pass

The relay can/should rewrite the Return-Path to pass SPF. It's no problem for DMARC as the DKIM signature added by the initial server still authenticates it.

It requires manually adding domains of custom 365 installations to the list - at this size I do this manually, but should probably be automated "on bounce" or maybe even by a smart rule based on the MX record.

In Exim4 it's also possible to conditionally rewrite based on for example the recipient domain.
They also need to have a reputation of being able to block spam.
This is what source control blame is for. It’s very hard to estimate what business reasons will be important to readers of code in the future.

I very often nudge people to remove their comments entirely. Less experienced devs often write comments to explain code, instead of spending time on making the code itself readable/understandable. I often ask: “Can you modify the code such that the comment will become obsolete?”
These insurance underwriters seem like fun folks. While reading the fine print of my credit card insurance I noticed my purchases were covered from damages from "aircraft, spacecraft, or other vehicles".
The suggestion that they will try muscle you out to maintain their monopoly is a bit alarmist. If you’re not sending spam, and your email infrastructure includes strong DMARC and SPF policies, then it’s unlikely that your reputation will be tarnished simply because it isn’t part of the Gmail or Exchange Online ecosystems.

I’d argue that the vast bulk of email is sent from dedicated providers like Sendgrid which are built on the same tech that might be found in any given ‘artisanal’ on-prem service.

I hate the Tesla Model 3 touchscreen. No muscle memory. No haptic feedback. Using it almost constantly causes attention problems.

If it weren't for the ability of the car to alert lane departures, cars braking ahead of you, etc., I likely would have had many accidents already, just using the touch screen for things should be physical controls.

Best bet is to engage autopilot then do whatever you gotta do.

> Scientists have believed for a long time that severe damage to the visual cortex in the left side of your brain will leave you unable to see out of your right eye, assuming that the ability to see out of one eye is largely due to the visual cortex on the opposite side. Yet more than 50 years ago, studies on cats with cortical blindness on one side showed that it is possible to restore some of the lost sight by cutting a connection deep in the cat’s midbrain. A bit more damage allowed the cats to orient toward and approach moving objects.

I've presented on blindsight before, the phenomenon where a person cannot describe or draw items that are presented in one side of their visual field, due to trauma to their primary visual cortex (V1), but they can still guess what these items are above chance level, direct their gaze to them, reach for them and so on. The superior colliculus seems to play a large role in this, and there are also visual projections that bypass V1, which could be partly responsible for the phenomenon. But this tidbit about "cutting a connection deep in the cat's midbrain" is new to me. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

If civilization ever expands off-surface in a major way, then there may be strong economic incentives to use material from the asteroid belt. Humans are exploratory and expansionary creatures at our core, so barring catastrophe it is only a matter of time. Once it is feasible, people will do it.

For a simple initial analysis, we can look at the energy requirements to move from the surface to LEO vs LEO to the asteroid belt. The delta-v needed to get from the Earth’s surface to LEO is at least 9.4 km/s [1]. Meanwhile, there are about 4,000 known main-belt asteroids reachable from LEO with a delta-v budget of 8 km/s or less [2].

Obviously, that isn’t the only factor, but it is one of the most fundamental factors.

The thing I like about markdown and similar syntax's are the simplicity and succinctness. When you take the markup out of context, well you lose context.

My issue with this would be it's verboseness and the extra time it would take to write and understand. I have to read the sentence, then read the first markup and work out which part of the previous sentence it applies to, potentially rereading/scanning the sentence again. This is repeated for each markup.

When you say "unvaccinated" here are you using the currently-accepted official definition which includes people that have received a COVID-19 EUA vaccination/booster within the last 14 days?

Which "international law" are you referring to that doesn't consider Taiwan sovereign? Maybe you mean to say that Taiwan/ROC is not a member of the UN? That is true, but it doesn't mean that Taiwan isn't a sovereign country. Switzerland didn't become a sovereign country only in 2002.
