umm after years of accusations and the CCP hiding the camps they finally admitted to them existing but they call them "education camps" come on now... your saying we should trust their word? and ignore all the people who suffered ? reminds me of Nazi Germany and how they played these games as if the camps where there for a good reason, CCP even mimics them with their fake media invitations but refuses to let anyone see one at random.

When you ignore all these facts and spew CCP propaganda i will call it what it is propaganda

ERCOT has a price cap similar to the NEM, but as far as I am aware no equivalent to the Cumulative Price Threshold which limits how long the price can sit at market cap for. In the NEM roughly speaking after 7.5 hours the price gets dropped to back to $300 for 7 days.

This measure does get triggered occasionally, generally after transmission or generation failures combined with hot weather.
This is actually pretty amazing. I wouldn't normally trust a single author implemented project to sit between my application and my database, since that is a rather critical single point of failure. However, a grep that fails to find `unsafe` in a rust code base lets me know that this code is in fact pretty safe[1]. I don't need to trust the author, as much as I trust the Rust core team, and LLVM.

Since I can see basic functionality exercised in the test suites, and trust that Rust has validated its more general correctness, this gives me more confidence in your project than I would historically expect to be able to gather in such a short amount of time.

Wondering if they have insurance providers for satellites in orbit. Even with the limited lifetime, low earth satellites provide lot of value to company.

With high risk that entails, it may not make sense now even with high premium but it might be a thing of future
Everything is simply too far apart.

That's very likely. There are only two known systems with possibly habitable planets within 40 light years.

The Telegram client/feature set is great, and I hope Signal and competitors will improve their clients to match.
I don't think SpaceX will actually do this. They'd be explicitly breaking the law in those countries by providing services to people there (the mere fact that there is a technical means to do so without installing a local ground station doesn't change that). In several countries (I think including Viet Nam) it's illegal to even own an unlicensed satellite terminal, so the users would be at risk too.
Is it bad that my thought in response was, well if you consider suborbital rockets a fractional satellite, then you can analytically continue the function of satellites over time all the way back to the invention of blackpowder? 1 satellite = ability to orbit at least once = ~150 km apogee. So a 150m launch would be 1 millisatellite...

I too probably should lay off the coffee.

> Preliminary analysis show the increased drag at the low altitudes prevented the satellites from leaving safe-mode to begin orbit raising maneuvers

The increased drag was caused by the storm.
The difference is SpaceX don’t have these orbits forever. The satellites will fall back to earth and congress can enact regulations that limit the number of them launched in the future.

Yes, but my point is that if you’re being a jerk, then you’re the problem, not the person who is not saying, “please don’t be a jerk.”

You don’t need a regulation telling you not to be a jerk — unless of course you are a jerk. And even then, you’d probably still be a jerk, regulation or not.

> and it feels like a bubble that will burst, sooner if not later

There are people who look into the future and perceive this, and to them the effect is an intuitively-scammy feel; and it may even seem like it's a system that is destined to fail. Generally the systems perspective or meta-perspective will be first to call out the scam side here.

Things meeting the scammy-feel bar tend to be ephemeral, emotional, the front side of the technology curve for sure. Non-scammy things seem more qualitatively planned-out, secure, quiet, structured, etc. just like early-scam-radar individuals often demonstrate at a personal or temperamental level.

There are others who look at the moment, who take the ephemeral for what it is, and think, "wow, in the right position you could turn this into something that really helps you make it to your next stage in life." These people are probably less likely to think it's a scam, not necessarily because it definitely isn't, but because it's also a lot of other things. Scammy could just be one relevant tag among many. "Hey, maybe this undertaking can just be enough to get us to the next spot, it doesn't have to be perfect but it will require some excitement or hype just like any venture."

To some degree you need to fit things out to suit your favored perspectives or you'll feel the worse for it. To some degree you also need to understand others and see the difference in perspectives as possibly positive, or you'll tend to get stuck in subjective loops as you move forward in life.

And to some degree, if you can combine those perspectives and develop a sort of both-perspective, IMO you can really put together a strategy that flies well, and far, because you'll be gripping both ends of the handlebars on the human race bicycle.

Just some ideas, and a terrible metaphor--good luck with whatever you decide.
Whales for example are intelligent, but I don’t see them ever getting excited about space travel.

"Be Curious, Not Judgmental" - Ted Lasso, and (not?) Walt Whitman.

To ask why "Does SpaceX not review the data / warnings before launch?" instead of asking "why did Space-X choose to launch when there was a warning" are two drastically different questions. The first has an assumption that checking for the warning is the problem while the second does not make an assumption of the problem.

I think it's a pretty poor assumption that an organization like Space-X would not check the warnings before launch. They likely have an NOAA rep advising their decision. It's silly to assume a highly regulated multi-million dollar discipline that has little tolerance for failure (space flight) would be so haphazard. Even pilots of small airplanes are required to check government notifications before each flight. So I'm curious, why did they launch when that warning existed?
Who runs the thick Zoom client?!

> Who knows, and that's the point AMD is going for, they just have to inject enough uncertainty to change consumer behavior.

That's not "the point". The purpose of the feature is legitimate, but you're right that the consequences suck hard for the second hand market.

The thing you're talking about is a security feature where the CPU would be locked to only boot when the firmware is signed by a particular signing key. If you're a high-value target such as a cloud vendor or a government / military, attacks on the firmware are a legitimate threat, and this ensures that the firmware cannot be silently tampered with. This is a big deal to them and that's the reason why AMD implemented this.

But yes, most people don't need or want this. It's entirely optional, it's supposed to be something the customer configures, but Lenovo turned it on by default. Pressure needs to be put on Lenovo to stop doing so.

You could have phrased it: "how does SpaceX review...?"
You’re basically describing the various character encodings which preceded adoption of Unicode. No, UTF-8 doesn’t support that. That’s the sacrifice it was willing to make, to eliminate the need to distinguish between character encodings: a string isn’t a sequence of bytes.

Even if you don’t appreciate that convenience (and the highly standardized, easily abstracted rules of combined bytes), maybe you’ll appreciate that the complexity of supporting multilingual users would mean multipart data, arbitrarily fractured. As in a single text message using multiple character sets could be dozens of payload boundaries. Does that really sound easier or more painless than UTF-8’s variable-length code points?

This is also fairly well-known physics. We know what the atmosphere is like at those altitudes and we know what a starlink satellite looks like. Anything that sits around there is going to fall out of orbit pretty fast unless it has active thrust.

Several governments have space-object tracking systems that work on stuff far smaller than starlink satellites - the US, the EU, Russia, probably China. I doubt that’s open enough for you, though.

Frankly it doesn’t seem to me like there much to hold spacex accountable for. They’re out ~$35mm, but it’s harmless to the rest of us.
Sharding and failover support is really cool indeed!

But I've always struggled to understand the use cases of pgbouncer. In most cases, you want to front your database with a service and don't want many clients connecting to it directly. And I've seen fairly large workloads easily managed over a small number of connections, so a good client-side pool implementation should easily suffice. In what sort of situations does pgbouncer come into play?

Agree with the combinations being more ephemeral outside of futures and options markets. I do wonder how much liquidity will exist for these combos, since even some of the popular structural ones don't have a ton of volume.

Regarding the last point, let's say hypothetically you create a market for "+100 FB shares, -500 SNAP shares". If everyone is competing on price to quote that combination, that creates the most competitive market. However, if there are many expressive bids with various conditions (e.g. minimum quantities, conditional on execution of another leg, etc), they may not get "implied" into creating a reasonable market, creating exponentially more arbitrage opportunities if they become locked/crossed. This adds a lot more complexity in calculating implied markets and matching them in a sensible way. With price-time priority, I agree that there are downsides as you mentioned, but it makes it easier to ensure the tightest spreads.

Sorry, was assuming SpaceX had quantum slipstream already. But it appears I was mistaken. In the case of a slipstream drive, integrity for entry and exit of the slipstream would be paramount. But if they’re still using warp, then your comment of course is accurate.

Impulse, by the way, is covered by the press release [1] and, I agree, would need to be a priority no matter which FTL drive is used to get the satellites to their final destination.

[1] > The Starlink team commanded the satellites into a safe-mode where they would fly edge-on (like a sheet of paper) to minimize drag—to effectively “take cover from the storm”

If you see a spike all at once it almost definitely means your competitor is raising a round right now and they’re either canvassing the space or they missed out on that round and want to learn about you.

1. Never send them a deck. These people treat decks like baseball cards. They will straight up tell you they can’t invest in your company and still ask for a deck.

2. Never be rude to analysts or junior VCs. Word spreads fast and when you actually do want to raise you won’t want Partners to think you’re an a*hole.

3. If you want, take a call, and spend the entire call asking them questions. How they’ve helped other companies. Why are they speaking to you.

A junior VC can be a gateway to a great round, or a fishing expedition for your competitor.
As someone who has fought this battle many times:

People don't want accuracy.

People don't want details.

People want pretty.

They will reject any other type of plot that is better than pie charts on the other two metrics.

Hence, pie chart.

The higher up you go, the more important the appearance is, and the less important the details are. The role of most presentations is not to get people to understand, but to impress. Senior folks have given feedback that "Your presentation slides don't have enough details. If you make it easy for the audience to understand, they will undervalue your work."

Jeff Gilbert, of Brain Pain fame, is the only DJ I ever enjoyed listening to. He was always giving away tickets or albums via a contest. One of his contests was "what is your name?" The next week, he announced that was too easy, and he was going to amp it up with "spell your name". His fake commercials were great comedy.

I tracked him down one time, and asked if his shows were recorded. He said nope. I had made a few recordings of his shows, and sadly the rest is surely lost to history.

I have worked remotely for over a decade, including from overseas, mostly as a freelancer. Except for some obvious exceptions and some backwards companies, my experience is that every job is remote for the right person. First you sell yourself. Where and when you do the work from is a discussion you have after they want to hire you, not a filter you stop at when looking for work. Admittedly this is a bit easier for freelancers.

When employers/customers have raised the location/timezone objection — which would happen after they decided they want to hire me — I tell them let’s try it and see if it’s a real problem. I commit to responding to emails (or Slack) within 12 hours, making myself available at any time with some advance notice, and giving them a phone number I will answer 24/7 in case of emergency. No one has ever fired me or canceled a contract because I was in Greece or Vietnam.

In sales lingo this is called overcoming objections. You overcome objections one at a time, as the customer/employer raises them. You should have a plan to overcome the likely objections. You don’t filter yourself out from the beginning. Simply getting interviewed and hired is the biggest thing to get past.

I’m not a loner oddball. I participate in and even manage teams and projects, do system admin and maintain infrastructure, and write code, all remotely. Several of my nomadic friends had full-time jobs somewhere and just went traveling and continued doing their jobs, no one even asked where they were.

I think there's a case to be made that a NAS oriented OS/distro should probably default to having a scheduled scrub, not wait for you to set one up. I don't follow LTT, but a quick look around says he was using TruNAS for at least one of the builds?

You do need a notification feature as well, which is tricky because a distro can't assume you'll setup mail properly, but maybe something like make samba go read only when the zpool is degraded could work.
> then move onto the next shiny thing that catches my eye.

This works as long as that next shiny thing is something that brings value/money or is at least compatible with your career goals. That's often the case in our field of work, but it's not a given.

I'm also a "jack of all trades" and it usually works out great for me, but I'm pretty sure that I was one non-lenient enough manager away from getting fired several times in my life. This wouldn't work so well if I wasn't working in a field that observes workers economy.

I live in a town next to a border. On the other side of the river, I would save 4K in taxes every year. But I would pay more in car insurance, car registration, city property tax, public transportation and other smaller things. All in all, I pay maybe 1K more to live on my side of the river. That's completely sidestepping the whole issue of housing being way more expensive on the other side, which means I couldn't own a house.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one of my peers who has actually sat down and counted the beans. Everybody else just looks at the 4K and thinks I'm crazy to live where I live.

The insurance company isn't paying you out of the coffers of their wealthy owners. They're paying you out of the coffers from you and all your fellow insurance buyers' premiums. The primary transfering of money is from the little guy--- to the little guy. Any massive profits come from skimming a tiny bit of that at a very large scale. And competition pretty much dictates that that won't be predatory.
Unless PWA fans have their way and succeed perverting browsers into an app platforms, that is.
Definitely a safety issue IMHO. It's common on the road to see signs that say "accident ahead, tune to XXX AM" or similar emergency warnings. If you can't tune in to be warned of danger ahead it's a bit of a problem.
> But what if he was overestimating the the frequency of intelligent life emerging?

I don't understand there to be any such estimation at all. The paradox is that ONE of the pieces of the equation has to be so improbable that it basically doesn't happen. That's absolutely allowed to be the piece that is nearly impossible to happen.
