Geosynchronous orbits are way out from the planet and costly, in many ways the "space game" of earth communications, earth monitoring, comms for earth wars has changed.

Constellations of thousands of satellites in near earth obits, precessing for coverage, in near ellipitic orbits for relatively low cost repositioning over tagets of interest, and "not real satellites" - HAPS and blimps are changing the dynamics.

Cheaper to launch, greater in number, and more easily moved about and|or replaced.

Is it just me, or is the language in the essay strangely hard to parse?

> But insofar as it is the passing on of second-hand knowledge about being, it is itself a form of imposture that reproduces and impersonates without meaning or sense and therefore enacts imposture in the act of naming itself as well as in the manner that it imitates an act of passing on knowledge of an existing disease or syndrome.

The essay doesn’t actually have a lot to say, but that fact is hidden by convoluted language.

Maybe the author is trying to give the reader impostor syndrome?
> can't figure what triggers it.

That's the most important part of it. If people could figure out and trigger it intentionally, the whole model would break.
Some channels I keep coming back to, featuring mostly ambient or low key albums, often from yesteryear. There are many very pleasant ambient Japanese LPs from the 80s that are nice to have on in the background while working while being musically interesting:

Serious subject, terrible article. It’s randomly pontificates in an accusatory tone.

”Both the university and workplace assist in the naming and propagation of imposter syndrome as a desired and necessary result…”

So our schools and workplaces make imposter syndrome worse by identifying it and offering help. Plenty more wild-ass speculation in the piece.

The only reason to ask for the 3 glasses back would be to make sure you don't intentionally break one (or claim one was broken) to get the remaining ones for free.

Whether it's glass or not, as soon as it's not resellable as the original product it becomes worse than worthless. There is no sane way for them to deal with a SKU of "3 glasses", total quantity: 1.
Zelda & Chill by GameChops is a good one. GameChops has a lot of other lo-fi video game soundtrack covers that are great for programming, in my experience
> I am insured and it is preventative care

How or why do you think an echo is preventative care? While insurance plans are free to define any additional menu of services as preventative - an echo is not included in the minimum set required by the federal government - which are procedures based off of US preventative services task force guidelines - there are no published guidelines that include an echo.

I wish you luck on your billing problem but I think you’re going to hit a wall on your own definition of “preventative”.

That depends on your state and country. It's certainly not universal.

This is not true. There is enough precedence where this was successfully disputed. Including by Google and Amazon in India. Would Apple turn in all the records if a police officer asks for any data they seem fit for an investigation?

Changing locale works fine for this in gdocs.
If it was average per moderator, I'm pretty sure the article would attracted more eyeballs with the headline $3.4m each, or $3.4m x N ( $3+ billion with n=900 ) moderators.

Also in the first line below the header "$3.4m... labour that would cost 2.8 per cent of the firm’s revenue". The study analyzed the work of 900 moderators, so there is likely more moderators on the platform. But as a lower bound, 900 moderators * $3.4 million * 100 / 2.8 would mean $110 billion in revenue. Reddit's last funding round was at a $10 billion valuation, so I leave it to you to decide if $110 billion in revenue makes sense.

I'm really hoping Spotify's attempt to centralize the podcast industry fails. It is one of the few remaining pieces of the media not controlled by committees, bean counters, propagandists, or worse.

Having said that, I read today that Trump is no longer welcome on Joe Rogan's podcast, and have to admit I'm enjoying the triple schadenfreude.
Yep, fair enough. As you say, to each his own. I would argue that a life spent believing you're not good enough is also not a good way to live, but that's a tradeoff for each individual to make for themselves.

Be kind to yourself :)

FWIW, I struggle to relate to "competers". I do things because they make me fulfilled (or put food on the table), not to "win" or be the best at something. I don't think it's something everyone can relate to.

> I'm quite sure this process starts with me writing some config files on both of these computers.

So don't be so sure ;)

You just tick a checkbox in paprefs to enable networking (which is perfectly reasonable, as in most cases you don't want to have it enabled by default), and that's it. It finds the other PC via zeroconf and it shows up as a regular output device.

Depending on distro you use, you may need to install PulseAudio's zeroconf module and make sure Avahi is running, but a properly configured desktop distro will have all that either by default or a single package installation away these days.
As a massive house-head and someone who's been involved in the electronic music scene to varying degrees for two decades, I actually find it extremely difficult to listen to music while writing code, because all I actually do is listen to the music, rather than work.

On a related note, I highly recommend the book "Do Travel Writers Go To Hell", written by a Lonely Planet author who reflects on the conundrum of publishing the best beaches and bars he finds, knowing they will be overrun with tourists as soon as the book is out.

The difficulty of fixing and improving these systems is frankly overrated. It has more to do with penny pinching and profiteering that they haven't modernized. I don't mean a rewrite in JavaScript either, I mean sensible engineering, which many people are ready to do but not paid to do, because it weakens the upwards money vacuum the finance cabal wants to maintain. Progress isn't profitable enough according to the Excel spreadsheet.
This is why transparency is not just a "post it and done" process. It is a conversation.

You’re correct though, it’s about priorities. I’m a corporate lawyer but I always put my husband first because at the end of the line I surely won’t be thinking, “I wish I worked more.” What’s it all for if you don’t have someone to share with.

Tell HN: A Reddit admin in the Bay Area is abusing their privileges
Just a head's up since the Bay Area probably has the highest percentage of users here.

A reddit admin is abusing their privileges for their personal beliefs.

I found a post in the Bay Area subreddit from r/all. It was about people deflating tires on SUVs. I made two comments, copied below.

All new comments that I make in any sub (including ones that I've been subscribed to for a long time), no longer show up (shadowbanned), and when I click "Random" to discover a new sub, it always goes to r/femboymemes.

My username there is tempMonero123 in case anyone else wants to investigate. I did delete those two comments before I realized the scope of the situation, but I imagine anyone investigating can probably still see them (unless they really are deleted?).

I don't really think the Mr/Mrs Moneybags "VIP patient" compares remotely to a board-certified member of La Cosa Nostra Medical Mafia with an iphone full of colleagues and professional acquaintances with a friend-of-an-attending across all specialties

When you are a doctor, you're part of the club. Skipping the line and getting a consult in 30 seconds? Well, that is 15 seconds too long. Got a laceration on your child, and want a 3 layer closure by the head of Plastics? No issue there. Want to convene a board on your rare medical issue? Well, there is a doctors only Facebook group for that, with about 500 docs ready to chime in on their breaks.

It goes way behind this too. Indepth knowledge and advice about who the actual locally best doctors and surgeons are, across specialties (not the popularity contest or bought magazine ones either). Early tracks on new promising studies. Handouts of non-scrip medical supplies like event swag. Pharma-reps wanting to market their novel products and spread the info on them. The amount of free stuff is off the charts.

I've seen exponentially more over the top professional courtesy "Good Old Docs" club from my Dr. wife and the associated professional network, than I have in any other profession by far.
I recommend reading Thinking, Fast and Slow, which heavily documents common biases like this. And then read The Inner Game of Tennis, which is a practical approach, written before the science was documented.

To simplify, there's slow thinking (analytical) and fast thinking (reflex/intuition).

People often consider the slow thinking more rational, but fast thinking can handle a crapload more data. Tennis is an obvious use for fast thought - you rely on your body, not your cognitive side, to hit the ball. There's a video out there with Ronaldo scoring goals in complete darkness - he can predict where the ball is and accurately jump without any vision, just from the sound of the kick.

Business is actually quite similar. I learned the hard way that if I don't trust a guy, there's probably a good reason why. We have years of experience with people. Intuition also works incredibly well with judging whether a product will be successful. Something like Bohemian Rhapsody would never be published if it were purely analytical.

That said, there's plenty of scenarios where intuition gets it wrong. For example, psychopaths will often stroke your ego and make you feel like you can help them. If you spot a psychopath pattern, avoid the person.

I'm not as familiar with Sam Harris, but the impression that I have is that he's treating and conveying mindfulness and meditation as a science that is measurable and comparable from person to person, which I do not think it is. It is "scientific" (to these people) in the sense that someone is trying to extract the essence of something that is subjective and attempting to quantify it or find reason from it, when in fact, there is no more to be found than the original subject matter and/or it is baseless with reality or what is well-understood. I think many have tried to substitute it with religion as if it is better and grounded in science, when it about the same in quality in many regards.

Definitions and names are tricky things. The names we give to things the first time around usually will encompass multiple concepts. As we try to separate each of these concepts, we try to assign new names but in discussion (in the case it's in good faith) conflate them with the older names of things because not everyone can stay current to the most recent names, and they may understand the concept you are trying to isolate in conjunction with something they consider it a part of. Relativity used to be general relativity, and now can also refer to special relativity, efficient in some ways and confusing in others.

Then there's the question of how much can be objectified and reproduced, and whether that effort is worthwhile compared to embracing a concept in its entirety with its truths and lies because it is more realistic compared to what can be built from what you managed to discover and build from exclusively. We use Newtonian Mechanics despite its inaccuracies instead of quantum mechanics for designing buildings because it is close enough at the scale of what we intend to solve. I consider mindfulness, meditation, and in some cases religion to be similar, in the sense that they seem to approach you at the scale of being a person or at the scale of your humanity full of subjectivity in need of a subjective solution or explanation, instead of a machine to be worked on piece by piece. No matter how much objectivity is possible, individualized application is going to have subjectivity or uncertainty. How far to go one way or the other, and how relevant that would actually be to the situation at hand, is always questionable.
the Court has never ruled on parallel construction. I think it's probably illegal. there was Harding v. United States, but that was a case where someone was accidentally flagged as having an outstanding warrant. intentionally passing illegally acquired tips is probably illegal, the trick is it's impossible to prove and there's no penalty other than getting evidence derived from the tip stricken from the record.

It’s incredibly likely this will be an expensive and painful mistake.

Thank you for your exciting work and for coming onto HN to respond to questions.

I am a former professional translator (Japanese to English) and am now supervising research at the University of Tokyo on the use of machine translation in second-language education. As I have written in a few papers and essays [1], advances in MT have raised serious questions for language teachers. The ready availability of MT today, including on Facebook and Instagram, means that language students use it a lot while studying. We don’t know yet, though, how that use of MT might affect our students’ acquisition of other languages or their motivation to keep studying those languages.

One of the hurdles educators and researchers face is finding out how MT is being used in the real world. Most education in modern languages is focused on giving students language skills that they will be able to use later in work, education, and daily life, and textbooks and other learning materials are typically shaped around real-world situations. We are now struggling to adapt those materials for the age of MT, because data on the actual use of MT is very hard to get.

Like Google, Microsoft, Baidu, DeepL, and others, Meta must have huge amounts of data on how your users are using MT to communicate. Any information and insights about that MT usage that you can share with world—just as you have generously shared your NLLB models—would be most welcome.

> on a scale not dissimilar to what we've seen with Python 3.

If only people had asked for it before the Python 3 migration so it could have been done with all the other breaking and performance harming changes. But no, people only started to ask for it literally yesterday so it just could not ever be done, my bad. /sarcasm

If anything the whole Python 3 migration makes any argument against the removal of the GIL appear dishonest to me. It should have been gone decades ago and still wasn't included in the biggest pile of breaking changes the language went through .
Of course concrete ideas are better. But even armchair criticisms can be important (or at least interesting), to open up the discussion.

While git is good and powerful in many ways, git frankly has many deficiencies, yet everybody treats it as the holy grail of version control. Just because Linux uses it, GitHub exists or something else, I don’t know. The author lists many valid points that are not all sci-fi and that would multiply the usefulness of the vcs sevenfold.

Someone has to point out the elephant in the room.

It could spark the idea for someone to invest in something new and better or for someone to contribute improvements into git.
