Yep, I was pondering that during my workout and was going to put in an edit.

If Starlink offered inter-satellite comms as a product/service, it could potentially reduce the cost of many satellites both in low orbit or any higher orbit since it would reduce both mass and energy requirements (up/downlink takes a lot of mass and energy). Reducing the weight of systems targeting higher orbits making them cheaper to launch, or allowing them to incorporate more capabilities thanks to the reduced mass.

It also reduces the terrestrial-to-satellite comms requirements, you'd connect to your satellite like any other Internet enabled device. Just with higher latency than most and maybe (for a few times a day) lower than optimal latency.

Of course, there's a downside. What if Starlink goes bust in 5-10 years? Even 20. Whatever the comms system is, you'd want it to be reprogrammable (at least) if not part of some more open specification that others could connect to. Which suggests the possibility of licensing the technology. That opens Starlink up to competitors, but makes the service more appealing to customers. Which brings it back to probably having the most near-term utility for other LEO satellites since longevity isn't an issue for them in general, but reduces the utility for the next JWT.
We're doing air gapped development (and even single-machine deployments) with web tech by just also including a server component with the client or on the air gapped network.

There is one instance where we still use machine control / HMI non-web, and that's when there is no TCP/IP stack available. Doesn't happen that often anymore.
This was actually the solution in some cities to pandemics of the early 20th century: Overzealous heating and open windows, even in the winter. You can read more about this at the link below, but basically the old furnaces that many New Yorkers complain about have their source from a time when health officials were fighting the Spanish Flu and recommended people keep their windows open. These steam furnaces put out an obnoxious amount of heat to overcompensate for people leaving their windows open all the time. (Also look up "New York City steam system" for interesting stuff about the big steam delivery system in New York City. Moscow has one, too!)

Thanks, I've edited that in.
I was a part of a group of people who obtained and took ISRIB a year ago. We made contact with another group from the Baltic’s who had a chemist in their ranks who had already synthesized and taken it, before we took delivery of ours.

The most important thing I learned is that you form a tolerance to it. At least that’s what the experiential effects indicated.

One person took it and developed heart rhythm problems.

Another person took it and became full of energy. Some people reported being much smarter and being able to socialize at a much higher level than before. Some people said they had hyper realistic dreams and compared it to schizophrenia. There were many stories but I can’t remember them all. I’m the end nobody took it long term.

The NMR results made it clear that everyone was taking pure ISRIB and not some adulterant.

One person said he gave it to his grandmother with Alzheimer’s and it made her better but she died shortly afterward. Some people said this is normal and it was a coincidence. We don’t know.

I never took it because right before we had secured a supplier I had a bad reaction to another experimental drug which has given me a permanent injury.

We develop alarm management software for alarm receiving centers. (mainly in germany) A typical installation is in the 5 digit region but for sustainable income we offer (and live from) update subscriptions and 24/7 emergency support. Cost for both is a monthly fraction of the license sum.

What sets us apart from other software in the market ist our internal "workflow" engine with a graphical (flow chart like) editor. (somewhat similar to Node-RED)

Our customers can use it to program the reactions to the alarms (calls, mails, SMS, comparisons with states, user entry, reporting, etc.) individually to their (or their customers) demands. But some of them go further and use it to implement all processes of their company.

We also offer consulting, customizing and individual development for our software.

Color visible sensors tend to have a spectral range of 400 to around 1000 nm. (There is often an additional glass filter to block ~ 800+, which is removable).

Beyond 1000 nm, silicon becomes transparent and ceases to work as a detector, so those longer wavelengths need a detector made from another material, notably indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) which in one form can get all the way out to around 2700 nm. Anything that gets you away from silicon chip fab also gets you away from the fab-ulous economics of silicon. InGaAs sensors are super damn expensive.

Beyond 2700, thermal imaging cameras and the like use even more exotic sensor materials.

An alternative for those longer wavelengths is a monochromator (e.g., rotating diffraction grating detecting one wavelength at a time) and a single element detector which is cheaper than an array. If course your subject has to be sitting still for the duration of your measurement.

Because if you are under no threat of being disemboweled, then you can joke about it.

If you are, however, under a constant, low-level threat of being raped, then you kind of want people to take that seriously. You don't want people to make light of it. You don't want people to devalue that.

And we, who are not under that threat, can and should respect that.
A class action might be effective even though the ToS explicitly stated they could do this. The lawsuit could easily be expensive enough that it might be cheaper for Google to just build a migration process than actually fight it.
> Is the conjugation of the verb "to be" an exception, or is it covered by a very specific rule that only applies to that particular verb? I guess in the end it could be a matter of definition. But if this is supposed to be one of those "very complex — perhaps even unpredictable, or irregular [rules]," as the grandparent would apparently have it, then I have to question what his definition of an "exception" would be. Are there any exceptions to grammar rules at all?

My point was more that exceptions are rules too. ‘The verb be is conjugated like X, go like Y, and other verbs like Z’ is still a rule, albeit a complicated one, and one which could alternately be rephrased in terms of ‘exceptions’, insofar as that would be at all useful. Truly irregular, unpredictable exceptions — such as are so common in chemistry — are in fact rather rare and restricted in human languages.

I had a look at the servers for rent through your affiliate, and I did not like that they have 'drip'pricing - starts out at 7.40AUD or so, then the add ons come, like server location or decent RAM. Then on logout they offer e 50% off coupon, so I go back, choose a server and nowhere to put the discount code! SO awesome service, Ilove it I'm going to set up a a server, but maybe look for a better server provider with clear pricing. Also their servers in Sydney were down, so thats a flag also.

I started a company that built, I believe, the most advanced no-code data automation desktop application (https://easymorph.com). It's entirely bootstrapped, profitable and pays salaries to 10+ people (and we keep hiring).

Many our customers specifically looked for an on-prem solution as they don't want to deal with SaaS and its privacy issues and use-based pricing. With an on-prem tool like ours they get unlimited runs, unlimited data volumes, unlimited use for a reasonable fixed price.

I believe SaaS is overhyped and in a few years the trend will change toward on-prem SaaS-like apps and platforms.

The chip progress by TSMC was made possible by ASML from The Netherlands that supplied them with ultraviolet lithography machines. Those are real example of techno magic with ASML solving many really hard issues much sooner then was expected.

Surely TSMC advanced the process itself, but Samsung and Intel are not that far behind. But all of 3 use ASML technology and it is not allowed to be exported to China or Russia for that matter. Attacking Taiwan will make a prospect of getting that for China even more unlikely.
But it can be a dumb pipe. More and more companies prefer that.

Sadly Ohio's state government doesn't want to invest in higher education. My father was in the physics department at Kent State University (my alma mater) and I remember him complaining year after year about how the state was cutting funding. Really a shame.

Between this, Ohio's shameful anti-LGBTQ laws, and the truly awful racism, it's really like the state is trying to drive people away. I moved to CA 7 years ago and couldn't imagine moving back after talking to friends who are still there.

You can't turn off -O2 in some projects. The Linux kernel has plenty of code that requires optimization to be on to build succesfully -- look at things like BUILD_BUG_ON(). And it's projects like the Linux kernel that have had security issues caused by overzealous compiler optimizations. Getting blindsighted silently by compilers has already proven that the current approach towards Undefined Behaviour by compiler writers is not working.
Ah, code unit is correct. I am always getting code unit and code point conflated. Sorry about that.

D dodges that problem by having `byte` for signed 8 bits, and `ubyte` for unsigned 8 bits. That gets rid of the "is char unsigned or signed" confusion and bugs.

There is a Buddhist meditation temple in LA that organizes 2 retreats per year. I go every year from Europe, it's that good. The monastics are super helpful and the abbot is very down to earth and accessible, they also do fasting besides meditation. You don't need experience, just drop by and stay if you like.

> Each of these AWS services is clearly and demonstrably less popular than the alternative it's compared against.

Subject to the limitations of the data, which is mostly what they can scrape from open sources with an unspecified weighting algorithm: https://db-engines.com/en/ranking_definition

That's important to pay attention to because there are many areas this can go wrong — for example, it doesn't include AWS support or Amazon's own Q&A forums so you know you're missing a certain fraction of highly-relevant activity and, more importantly, as a bulk data-mining exercise you have a big challenge differentiating breadth and depth. MongoDB was heavily promoted about a decade ago so there are a ton of SO questions from people who fired up a copy and were looking to use it — which is great, but it doesn't tell you how many of them ended up actually using it for something serious or how big their project was. A thousand hobbyists storing 1% of the number of records of a single enterprise customer is not really something you can easily distill down to a single value. It also doesn't tell you how well people are sticking with it — for example, mature development / ops teams tend to ask fewer basic questions (they've been resolved & in-house expertise means they might never hit StackOverflow) but they might post harder questions about scaling. Does that mean that use of the technology is tapering or that the community is maturing?

The other big question is how you account for managed services. For example, if I use Kinesis I'm outsourcing a lot of operations to AWS; if I use Kafka I have to bring that to the table — one of those scenarios is likely going to involve a LOT more questions and open activity which on its own doesn't tell you anything about how many applications or how much data I'm using it for in either case.
> TD-NIRS images the fast optical signal that is correlated with electrical activity in the cortex. MEG images the magnetic fields correlated with electrical activity in the cortex. IMO, they're pretty similar.

So I guess the way I look at it, is that the field is what is augmented in a MEG, that makes the substrate emit an amplified signal naturally there. While a TD-NIRS injects a laser signal into the skull to measure back reflections... both inject energy into the system, but one is a reflection vs. an emission.

Is this the wrong way to look at it?

And anodyne33, yes, it is 100% apples to oranges. I was abreast of their original aims and MEG was on the table at the time - I had hoped that would remain the aim as it to me appears more beneficial, based on how I view the sensing above.

You're absolutely right, I don't like it either, and I hated it at the beginning. But, now I got accustomed to it so much that now other apps feel eerily quiet to me.

> A second CDC study, also released on Friday, examined data from 25 state and local health departments and found that people with booster shots are significantly less likely to get infected with Omicron.

It's worth pointing out, as presented, this is correlation. There could be something particular about the boosted (e.g., they're older and/or higher risk, perhaps still wear a mask, and/or limit their going out / exposure).

Again, as presented, that stat alone doesn't prove (in a definitive science sort of way) the jab __prevents__ Omicron. It's correlation.

Think about what happened to crypto and other inflation hedges in march 2020. They got ahnilated worse than equities in the initial risk off and then out performed ever since.

I think that's where we are now. If there is a market sell off, crypto is along for the ride initially. the question will be what it looks like from there.
I did take a meditation class at SF Zen Center and the teacher did suggest that we could dedicate a day to practice as if on retreat even while at home, though this is challenging. But ultimately, the sangha or community is important in Buddhism. The "three jewels" that one looks to for guidance are the Buddha, the dharma or scripture, and the sangha. At some level, if you _keep_ trying to just do it without a community of others, you're perhaps doing it wrong.
