Depends on what you are after.

You need long baselines if you want high resolution.
However if you want high sensitivity there is no way around having a large collecting area.
And since we are not looking to detect the sun in super high resolution, but very far away objects that will be extremely faint we need very high sensitivity.
There is a reason the VLA (and other arrays such as ALMA) move their antennas into different configurations. A more compact configuration achieves better sensitivity at the cost of lower resolution and a more spread out configuration gives the inverse.

Your hypothetical Starlink telescope would always have extremely high resolution but virtually no sensitivity to detect anything at all (maybe the sun). Certainly not any NEO objects - those were the prime targets for large single-dish radio telescope like Arecibo.

The closest radio telescope to the concept you have in mind is LOFAR, but even for that one each station has many times the collecting area of many dozens of Starlink satellites (total collecting area of all stations together is up to ~1km^2).
That is a good argument for why IPv6 is relevant everywhere else for the luddites that refuse to implement it.

> Economists told us for decades that wages are tied to productivity, when all the data points in the exact opposite direction.

That's because the data is based on salary and wages, when the actual number used needs to be "total compensation". Total compensation also includes so-called "employer paid" benefits. It includes other costly mandates required by regulation.

The other problem is productivity increases are very uneven. Productivity for some jobs has gone way up, for others it has not changes. The latter are not going to see compensation increases if their individual productivity did not rise.

> Lightning is a layer on top of bitcoin that can handle an arbitrarily high transaction throughput over time, while still basing itself on bitcoin’s underlying security. It works by opening multi-signature channels between nodes, so that a user can send coins from one node to another, using a series of interconnecting nodes along the way.

So how does doing this exchange bypass the blockchain "administrative" traffic? Do transactions in Lightning get priority while non-transactional details get lower priority?
She says BTC is the "final settlement layer", which I understand better since she words it like that. So that means that all transactions will be between apps and those apps abstract the actual transactions between accounts? So it's not that end users will be using the blockchain any more than bank customers use the SWIFT network, right? Such transactional exchanges will go through a clearinghouse to settle transactions?
Thanks for the feedback! I agree.
Authoritarian decision making can be argued to be significantly more effective than democratic one in general. The question is whether that efficiency is worth it.
In finance, crashes happen because large numbers of people are putting their money into something without realizing that it's overvalued, and then they all find out at once.

The 2008 housing crisis was caused by banks buying insurance against borrowers defaulting. They used a bunch of banking words to make it sound complicated, but that was it. Just nobody thought about what it would do to the bank's incentives. Not the insurance companies, not the regulators.

So the banks lent money to a bunch of uncreditworthy people because they were insured, and inflated a housing bubble. Then when they all started to default, the bubble popped and bankrupted the insurance companies and therefore the banks.

The Savings and Loan Crisis in the 1980s was caused by the government propping up failed banks. The banks were then insured by the government (sound familiar?) so they took on a bunch of bad risks because if they paid off they made money and if they didn't it was the taxpayer on the line.

The theme here isn't banks doing creative accounting, it's moral hazard. They do just what you'd expect them to do if you insulate them from risk.

But importantly, none of this has anything to do with KYC/AML regulations, which aren't supposed to prevent financial crashes. They're high cost low benefit regulations that don't even do the thing they're intended to do: https://www.icij.org/investigations/fincen-files/

Yes, but the desktop computer is typically attached to a $250k piece of custom industrial automation, the fact that there's 200 hours of C# programming for the HMI/ERP client/label printer/data logger is irrelevant to the customer, it's just a line item next to the PLC/robot programming, raw materials, welding, fabrication, wiring etc. Add some Beckhoff, Siemens or (yuck) Rockwell capacity to your stack - buy a used EK1100 and some IO cards off eBay, download TwinCat 3, and add that to your resume and you'll be able to build B2B products for a lot of places.

There are a surprising number of "controls engineering only" shops, it's not clear to me how that kind of business works out logistically when so much of the software requires certain kinds performance from the hardware and vice versa.
Integer overflow is usually logic error, so a reasonable default behavior would be a trap instead of silent overflow (regardless of how signed integrers are stored in memory). Some architectures support that (e.g. MIPS).

> There is a lot of assumptions that are broken if you try to allocate something smaller than /64. It would be like trying to re-assign the multicast address space for unicast.

Can you go into some details as to what breaks? I ran a dual-stack network with /112s for host subnets, and /124s for ISLs (prefix lengths chosen to make life easier for the network operators) and I wasn't aware of any problems.

Certainly, you can't use (formerly known as) class D address space in IPv4 as the major IPv4 stacks will balk if you do, and you're never gonna get into class E space either for similar reasons, but ... to use a longer prefix length than /64 in IPv6? I'm unaware of any implementations that fall over, but it's been a few years since I paid any real attention.

* Generous trial - agreed, essential

Why is this flagged? The argument presented is very reasonable and requires a rebuttal. It is also an uncommon argument I haven't seen previously on the front page. The main argument is that Tether is acting like an unregulated central bank that holds all the power over the price of cryptocurrencies. Thus, crypto holders who are not in on the fraud are like a flock of Bison being driven off a cliff, if there is ever a run on Tether.

The other comments on this thread are worthless and just shilling crypto.

Ancap is an oxymoron because it's predicated on strong abstract property rights, and you really need a fairly large government to enforce them. And if you take those away, you end up with something more like mutualism.
Right, I wasn't saying that giving end-users something smaller than a /64 should actually be done. Not only does it require more effort but also it breaks higher-level things as you said. I was just saying that there's no technical breakage that would occur, especially not SLAAC or privacy addresses.
The FCC is very familiar with inconspicuously modified commercial devices - hams have been doing it since before "firmware" was even a word. The fact that it's replacing some code on a chip instead of a shunt resistor on a PCB really doesn't make a difference.

And if this really was really the main issue, it seems pretty easy to just sign the firmware - I'm pretty sure many vendors do it already.

Personally I find that either I'm doing low intensity physical activity and I can just put on my Sorel Glacier XT boots and Hestra Army Leather mitts and stay warm, or I'm doing something more high intensity and my feet and hands only need normal boots and gloves.

In both cases I wear a thick merino base layer, fleece midlayer with varying thickness according to temperature and activity level, and GoreTex Pro outer layer that has zippers under arms and along thighs such that you can adapt ventilation seamlessly to variations in activity level. This works nicely from +5 C all the way down to -30 or -40 C (depending on wind chill and humidity, you might not last very long at -40 C though).

I hope people are still building desktop apps because as much as I hate that literally EVERYTHING is being made into an app on mobile (mainly just so they can then push notifications) there are a lot of things that really just run better as a desktop application. Do browser based video editors for example exist? Yes they do and I am sure they have their uses. But if I need to ingest a few hundred gigs of footage and cut that down to a reasonable length there is no way I trust Google Chrome's memory management to do that in any reasonable fashion.

I think what I miss the most are the really lightweight desktop applications that use very little resources but still help accomplish very large things. People love to rag on Windows for the fact that it maintains backwards compatibility but that has also allowed some fairly old but amazingly efficient applications to still be useful today.

My personal favourite example of this is a one man shop developer from Japan who makes some insanely reliable and useful tools on Windows:

FastCopy:

https://fastcopy.jp/

This tool has been around since 2004 and the original developer is STILL regularly updating and improving it. It blows away every other file copy tool on Windows out there (even the fanciest paid solutions) and the interface is dead simple and easy to use while still offering lots of advanced features. Many years ago I had to regularly move terabytes and terabytes of data to external drives that were then driven between VFX houses in Los Angeles. A lot of these outfits were basically smaller startups so often we would have multiple drives connected over USB to a single workstation with a 10gig link back to the storage server. I did extensive testing comparing every tool out there and not only was this thing a little faster than even the best CLI tools it also destroyed the others in terms of reliably transferring data over connections that were not always reliable. If the USB interface dropped for a second a lot of the other tools would fail or start doing a diff compare from scratch while this thing just happily chugged along. And once I had set it up and enabled the right click menu integration it was easy to train someone who was not very technical to use it. It even beat every Linux based solution I tried in reliability.

IP Messenger:

https://ipmsg.org/

Same guy also makes IP Messenger which is a ridiculously light text chatting tool. It only works over LAN (hence the name) but requires NO central server, has tons of customization options (and can also be locked down in a business environment) and is pretty feature rich. It is also regularly updated and is end to end encrypted and will run on the slowest of the slow machines. And it has been around since 1996!

Both of these are free but I would honestly pay pretty good money for them if I was running my own business.

Yup, the German healthcare system is definitely a very interesting example of how large-scale social problems can be solved without the state running everything.

(It also confuses the hell out of American liberals, largely because many in those circles genuinely believe that every developed country outside of US has some form of single-payer healthcare, and that a decent non-government-run healthcare system is impossible in principle.)

Is this your true belief? Do you really 1: conceive of anyone without an ID as a "slave," and 2: believe that things like Real ID laws, which are broadly supported by 80% of citizens[0] are here just to keep the poor down?

This seems utterly inflammatory, and somewhat divorced from reality. I absolutely understand systems thinking, and specifically can see the argument for posiwid here, but even then... This sort of conspiracy thinking strikes me as profoundly not useful.

Before attributing laws requiring IDs to the evil evil overlords, first ask yourself why 80% of citizens approve of these laws? Is everybody just all working to keep a tiny group of people down? Might it instead be that complex systems have edge cases and people who are already on the margins of society hit these edge cases more? The reason I ask is because we can fix bugs, but obviously we can't fix a global conspiracy, so I'd really like to know which I'm dealing with. If it is a conspiracy this makes it seem like there's nothing I can do to solve the problem.

Show HN: qme: simple utility for queueing long-running commands
I keep needing a way to run long-running resource intensive tasks after one another. Normally, I'd write a script which loops over the items, but not knowing what needs to run (I pick files as I go through a folder), I knew it's time I create something to scratch my own itch. So, I've created this utility to queue up commands.

It captures command, args, env and working directory and puts it in a queue, and runs it when it's time.
At the same time, it spins up an RPC server to receive commands from other instances. If there's no server available, it becomes a server itself and waits for commands or shuts itself down after idling for some time.

This is my first (published) Golang project, so guidance & review would be appreciated.

Our brains evolved to wayfind from landmarks (there's a part of the brain largely dedicated to it, found from studies on cab drivers). but using GPS navigation changes how you remember a journey you havent made before, and makes you much less likely to retain it. The screen will show you as the centred object, and your map and reference points shift on the screen relative to you.

With say analog map navigation, your position moves (you trace with your finger/update it mentally) relative to fixed landmarks on the map, so you get a better sense of their spatial relation to one another.
