All the existing commercial maritime comms providers will happily sell separate bandwidth for crew use, or let them meter/throttle it, so I assume the challenges the Dutch navy has with their existing setup are related to specific security and/or procurement restrictions preventing them from just installing the same solutions commercial vessels use. Probably less about broadcasting location and more about what is and isn't allowed on their vessels
Oh Jesus, get an investment banker to help you with these things, don't worry to much about what random 'me' has to say about it. I mean - it's actually not that complicated at the end of the day once someone becomes 'financially literate' but the underlying conditions of any deal matter 100x more than general patter of VC, PE and interest rates. There are people (investment bankers) who do this day and and day out and it's like riding a bicycle to them. Find one who cares enough to know about the details and doesn't push you into a deal because they want the commission, which will be their big incentive. They may just require a fee. Try your peer network out for that.

I'm fairly sure most Soviet thinkers spoke Russian.
They’re arguing in this thread that the war is acoomplishing strategic goals for Russia so it’s a win even with the material loss, but implying that Ukraine has no legitimate strategic goals in resisting or otherwise they wouldn’t claim that Ukraine should have just worked with Russia

Qt on KDE and the appropriate GTK version on Gnome, yes.

In practice, Qt looks much more native on Gnome than GTK does on KDE so you should go with Qt.

Not OP, but from my experience with SOC2 the auditing and compliance can be a complete joke. There are auditors who're entirely satisfied so long as an engineer dismisses all the dependabot alerts in Github (even if they're all dismissed with the "don't have bandwidth to fix this" option).

> SOC2 is a weak positive indicator of security maturity [quoted from TFA]

I'd argure it's no indicator at all.
Military vessels are exempt from that particular treaty. That would not be a significant worry. But yes, when you go into serious operations, the ship typically enters "black hole" operations where all non-essential communications are blocked. In the ships we were at they just pulled the network cable for the non-operational comms, very effective at preventing anyone from emailing back home.
Open standards means alternatives to clunky technology. I'm optimistic
I'll leave it there. I respectfully agree to disagree. What to you looks like a strawman is for us a signpost towards identifying a module that needs linting and code review. Code that cannot handle that typedef change? Yeah it needs review. What other issues are hiding in there? Oh wait what have they been doing with the preprocessor?

The codebases we work on are from the 1980s. They sorely need to be dragged kicking and screaming if necessary to later standards. So many warts. People abused the preprocessor like it was normal and expected.

The semantic change isn’t as big as you'd expect. Even as it is in fact a semantic change. But I sense significant gatekeeping as well to hold back the tide.
I don't think we should have a bunch guilt for destroying old technology, it's a major benefit of tech to not need as many physical objects, as much manual labor, or as much time fussing with DIP switches.

Facebook is different because it doesn't destroy anything, it purely adds to life and consumes time, with fairly minimal happiness involved. It acts more like an an obligation than a leisure activity even though it's purely voluntary.

The things that wind up getting displaced aren't technologies or jobs, which can often be replaced with a good riddance, they're things like "Having a conversation" or "learning a language" or "taking a walk" or anything else one might do in their spare time.
Agree, this is so well written.
I doubt it because I don’t think most status car buyers are particularly cost-sensitive and moreover passing said legislation is easier said than done (and regulations are likely to be overturned whenever the presidency changes parties). So far “sexy” has done a whole lot more to convert people to EVs than regulation (and I say this as a staunch proponent of carbon tax/pricing).
I still prefer the old word, "Personnel". I never understood rebranding to Human Resources.

Interesting. I have only tried the Magic Leap 1, not the Magic Leap 2. Glad to see they are making progress. I am still skeptical that it's not 5-10 years or more away before being something consumers might want, but I won't judge without trying it first.

The difference is that Russian civilians and all of their belongings are not being murdered, raped, destroyed - only Ukrainians are. So one side has a much more powerful incentive not to take this war too far. My fear is that all of the NATO support and information is giving Ukrainian leadership a wrong assessment of their chances of ending this without reducing the entire country to rubble.

Essentially Ukraine has agreed to become a proxy for NATO in a bid to cripple Russian power. NATO has little lose if this fails, but Ukraine's leaders are gambling the lives and livelihoods of an awful lot of people. I do wish I am wrong and they are right, but as I said elsewhere, I don't beleive Russia will stop at anything not to let that happen.
Is that how sentencing works? (I honestly have no idea.)
I wasn't comparing the types of risk involved in each. Rather, I was saying that both things have risks, and there are things we can do to reduce/mitigate that risk, but there's no reasonable way to remove the risk completely.

Walking where locals walk, getting a feel of the buildings, finding your new favourite restaurant, and even visiting boring strip malls right outside the tourist zones makes for much better memories.

It’s even better when you unknowingly walk to an attraction—-the discovery and brief disorientation is so satisfying. “Is that really the Sagrada Familia above those buildings? It looks a bit small. Hmm, let’s walk closer. It’s huge!”

I believe it touches on an important political issue.
I feel that this country is very very divided.
It's important we discuss these matters in our own community and not just yell and point fingers at the other side.
This was bothering me.
I feel men try to control women's bodies all the time.
And diagnosing my fertility, I do believe, is a subtle way of trying to control my body, even if it isn't Clarence Thomas overturning Roe V Wade.
Perhaps if I speak my peace, others will think twice before they make an assumption about an individual woman's body and assume they know better than her.
It may have misconstrued some, but others were very very blatant in their beliefs about women's fertility in general - which I would argue, clearly had nothing to do with this post.
>I think Poettering pushed systemd through politics because he wanted to have a popular piece of software

Poettering already had created PulseAudio and Avahi which were used in every major distro for years before even starting systemd. Even discounting that, politics had nothing to do with system's adoption. Rather systemd was adopted because it was technically superior to any contemporary alternative.
Article tl;dr: Design is hard and can't be boiled down into applying pithy mindlessly.

For what it's worth, I agree with your points and disagree with the various counterpoints that were posted; "optimization" can mean a lot of things, and I for one understand what you mean.
I think this is a matter of perspective. I founded a company that sold b2b software and experimented with removing pricing from my website. The challenge is the cost to complete each sale was highly variable which made it difficult to advertise fixed pricing. Consider the following:

If the buyer is an enterprise they expect a discount. The buyer may require the seller to use a supplier management tool like Arriba which has a monthly subscription fee. The buyer may purchase through a reseller, in which case the reseller expects a percentage of the transaction. The buyer may require custom contracts which can cost thousands of dollars in legal fees. The buyer may require extensive audits, pages of questionnaires and more which can take significant time and resources to complete. The buyer may hold back payment for up to 180 days.

So from my perspective, the problem is not the seller, the problem here is the enterprise buyer. If the buyer was willing to purchase from a website, with a credit card, and accept standard terms and pricing without modification, you would probably see much more transparent pricing and encounter fewer "contact sales" buttons.
As with all physics, I think we ultimately hit the point of diminishing returns before we need to introduce a new category of thought to explore into. That was supposed to be Quantum and/or Particle Physics, but neither have taken us anywhere and we no longer have new ground to explore.

Our fundamental understanding of the Universe has barely over the past half century, and it continues to slow with every anticlimactic LHC collision that emerges.
Well, there isn't a literal connection, Dude.
Ping depends on physical distance and quality of the signal. Low orbit satellites are much closer to Earth than geostationary ones. So latency is lower as well. And in space itself signal travels between nodes faster than through any cable.
IMO he's just trying to get out of the deal. The offer was poorly timed and the price of tech has gone much lower than when the offer was made. He'll probably just pay the $1 billion to get out of the deal. This article seems a like half-baked shot from the Musk side to renegotiate.
To me all of the sec research still seems like some kind of secret wisdom bound only to the best hackers out there, am I wrong here?
It seems to me hard sometimes to know what all of the 'state-of-the-art' and historic techniques are; in practice there'll likely be far too many to enumerate on a variety of platforms. But I do wonder if there are good lists or compilations anywhere that would include these.

If you selling a service that doesn't yet exist (or where you are an order of magnitude cheaper than the competition), usually you want to charge as much as you can while still selling all your inventory.

Your actual cost is irrelevant.
I don't understand the hate towards high cost of living areas. Making a few $100k in a HCOL area is similar to making $100k in a LCOL area. You don't live like a king if both your income AND expenses are higher.

Both people in this example have a lot more in common than I'm reading into from your comments.

Using average CO2 per watt for grid power is incredibly deceptive.

(Sensible) electric car owners charge their vehicles over night, not at "average time" due to EV-specific utility rates available in 28 states.

Overnight CO2 emissions have significantly higher concentration of renewable and nuclear power than peak demand power.

thank you for writing this. this is one of the truest accounts of SOC2 ever!
I agree with you and your argument.

My one counter point is from playing Ocarina of Time on my N64: when Link jumps off a high object, my body and brain also experience the sensation of “falling” or the “sensation of expecting the full force of gravity in air”. It’s weird to describe in words but maybe it translates.
Im curious to what objects/entities our minds can ascribe a “physical self” to, particularly in VR space.

Im aware of fields of study that encapsulate “phantom limb” type stuff and have experienced the sensation second hand (no pun intended my mom was an amputee). But am very curious how our brains process VR - yet I’ve never worn a headset and have very little desire to do so..
Yes, you are right. I had not seem the price tag when I posed the question. This product is for merchant ships or yachts and does not make any sense for small boat owners.

Wow.
By the time NATO partners can no longer trust each other with the position of their naval vessels you have serious problem already. The official satcoms are all NATO-shared satellites anyway, so you could probably derive their positions from that.

With regards to SpaceX ratting on our location, I don't think that would be a serious worry but in any case whenever shit gets serious a warship will go into "black hole" operations that block any non-essential comms. I no longer work for the navy but I can imagine that would involve physically cutting power to the starlink dish.
Learn the Python Anvil Framework
Not for me. For society. This isn't about individuals. People in mass choose higher paying jobs. People are not going to get into microelectronics because: pay sucks comparatively, easily outsourced, high effort, worse benefits, etc. There aren't enough "passionate" people to take advantage of to fill these roles.
Anyone know what modulation scheme Starlink and Dish are using? Presumably not something spread-spectrum? If not, why not?
The right lesson to learn from Russia is that big countries are ever willing to sacrifice small countries in their bids for power. Russians would have been much better off had they worked with NATO to avoid or quickly settle the proxy war, especially after heroically sacrificing more soldiers and weaponry in the initial invasion then they had in Afghanistan

Instead, goaded on the by the oligarchs and Putin, they are fighting a losing war that will hurt tens or hundreds of thousands over the coming years. There is 0 chance NATO will back off. Of course, it will also empower Putin, which is what Putin and the Oligarchs actually want. Russia fell right into their trap, and thinks they are being helped empowered.
This doesn't depend on 2.0 satellites at all. I'm not sure what you're referring to.
My understanding was that this sort of stock sale blackout is typically an internal thing to avoid insider trading liability, but if you've been laid off, you would no longer be internal and therefore no longer subject to the blackout. Is that not how it's structured here?
Careful, now. “Getting SOC2-certified” isn't the same as “doing the engineering work to get SOC2-certified”. *Do the engineering now. As early as you can. The work, and particularly its up-front costs, scale with the size of your team.*

Emphasis mine.

I've uttered this phrase or something like it so many times that I want to get this line fire etched onto a large, thick and sturdy block of wood and go back in time to several jobs where I and my cohorts got stuck with shoring up SOC2 tasks and smack my former execs with it.

Half joking but the pain and trauma from past SOC2 audits due to exactly this is real.

Stuff About Complex Number I Wish Somebody Told Me
Vested shares are not special in and of themselves. However employees often have blackout periods for any kind of stock they hold - ESPP, RSU, Options, etc. In many cases even stock you purchased separately with your own after-tax money can be subject to a blackout (though the company would not have a mechanism to directly block your trades you could run the risk of SEC violations).

The blackouts apply to employees because they often have insider information, even if that information may be of minimal real value. The SEC has really clamped down on tech stock trading in the last couple of decades. Those of us who had stock/options in the late 90's dot-com boom likely participated in several stock trades that would be outright illegal today.
The most interesting project is the Chinese HTR-PM[1] which is a small ~250MW design that is specifically engineered to be run in the Chinese interior where it will displace coal power plants.

It lacks the more advanced passive safety of molten-salt designs but it's significantly more advanced than reactors being built anywhere else in the world and is a natural stepping stone to molten salt to replace the helium coolant at some stage.

The Starlink satellites orbit closer to the earth than other comms satellites (iridium, oneweb). Closer distance = faster times, in addition to laser links between sats and other spectrum differences.

Downside to lower orbit means they won't last as long (a few years) before they are pulled down into earth's atmo. Which is fine since their rocket company will just send up some more cheaply.
"Light truck" is a problematic term in the US -- it can be defined in multiple ways, often exacerbated by automakers desire to get around fuel economy requirements.

Assuming that "light truck" in this context includes SUVs, that may correlated with the introduction of sub-compact SUVs into the US which have been extremely popular with drivers who are intimidated by driving large vehicles and like the confidence of sitting higher than in a traditional car. Many of these are basically just hatchbacks with some stying tweaks a couple inches of extra height.

So it may not necessarily be "Americans wanting trucks" that you're seeing in that data, but instead "Automakers styling their vehicles slightly differently, calling it an SUV, and avoiding fines for violating CAFE standards"

I love KDE. I've used it as my daily driver for several years now. Despite having so many features it's surprisingly lightweight on the resources. I've used it on everything from beefy Lenovo T- series to little netbooks that I would otherwise run OpenBox on.

KDE Neon was really buggy when I tried the last LTS. Lots of programs had theming issues. The Kubuntu LTS, on the other hand, left me with a much smoother experience. Neither are perfect, sadly.

A core issue with KDE is that of theme installation (Cursors, Window Decorations, etc.) KDE ships with utilities to discover, download, and install theme components. While using Kubuntu, about 25% of the time, I find that a given theme is just impossible to install. Usually it'll be a network error or sometimes the downloaded package seems broken. With Neon, I had a 100% failure rate. Even once you do get a theme installed, it usually looks nothing like the preview. Theme developers often end up relying on third party tools, usually around compositing / GPU rendering. These tools are difficult to install and don't seem to work with all hardware.

The Slimbook ships with Neon. Personally, I'd replace it with Kubuntu.

Of course, there are other distros available where KDE can be installed in. In my experience, the KDE-first distros provide a smoother UX than others. It's as if all the KDE apps play better together when an OS comes with them all bundled in together than if you choose to piecemeal install them.
