I remember reading a report, I think by Bellingcat, which said that there was:

1. A lot of embezzlement by FSB agents in Ukraine, who thought they could get away with it since surely there wouldn't be an invasion.

2. Many targets would take the money, promise to help overthrow the government, and then not do anything when the time came.
Sounds like an outdated perspective that should be challenged. Any adult should be free to discuss and share porn in a consensual and adult-only environment, with zero regard for their day job.
You can easily use an inverter to go from 12v to 110V/240V and just use the stock adapter. Alternatively, you can get your hands dirty and do what I did [1]. However, I'm fairly certain that the non-maritime accounts won't be able to use the service on water (most likely geofenced) so that Starlink can sell their maritime version.

EDIT: looks like it's not geofenced based on some other people's comments who've been using the standard terminal on boats.
Mortgages (debt) are also used to calculate net worth, so it balances out.
I'd love to see a protocol designed for that sort of thing that hops from phone to phone without explicit intervention from the user.

No setting up a wifi hotspot and having people connect to you. No need to be connected to wifi at all. No fucking with Bluetooth.

I'm not even sure if there's a way to do it but that's what I really want. Carrying a separate LoRa device is just one more thing I'll forget to pack or charge.
My bet is that for many (most?), they already have their minds made up (or set in a particularly strong direction) on almost any topic you could present.

Since the curiosity and openness to expand or change one's mind is low, you might as well dive into the dialog and show off / set people straight.

At the same time, I also witness people who really add value to the conversation by providing an insightful framing that I hadn't thought of, provide a synthesis between two people who are speaking past each other, etc.

Whether the trend is one way or the other, I do not know.
That was great but I was secretly hoping it had been more of a disaster.
Men get harsher sentences than women for similar crimes. That’s a real thing.
The only thing worse than stepping on legos are protruding rusty nails --just thinking about it makes me recoil.
I wonder why the truck rental market isn't bigger.

I occasionally have to haul heavy or bulky items too, but when I do, I walk a mile to the nearest U-haul, pay about $30, and have a pickup for the day. For the rest of the time, my primary vehicle is a Honda Fit that gets 40mpg, can fit into the Compact spaces in all the local parking lots, and easily pulls a U-turn even on narrow roads. I wouldn't want a pickup as my daily ride - it wouldn't fit in my (relatively small) garage, it burns gas like you wouldn't believe, and parking options are much more limited. Dropping $30 for the couple times per year that I need one is way more cost-effective than spending the upfront cost for them + additional gas & maintenance.
It has its charm, but I think it's a place to avoid during high tourist season.

what frustrates me is just getting around. I suppose one would eventually get used to it, but despite what some say, it is not pedestrian friendly, with tight ally, bridges, dead-ends, etc.

However, what I love is, how unique it is. how many places on earth are you able to take a boat taxi to an international airport?!
I'm not doing NIMBY.

There are a lot of promising storage solutions, some of which went online recently, and they were pretty much large scale.

A lot more are planned, for example just in Australia: https://www.energy-storage.news/australian-large-scale-batte...
> That requires intersat communications which the RV plan doesn't provide.

Intersat (laser links) comms is not available at the moment. Fairly sure they simply geofence non-maritime accounts. As you can see from the maritime map, it only covers water next to the shore which is a good indicator that they still use ground stations directly to provide service.

EDIT: looks like it's not geofenced based on some other people's comments who've been using the standard terminal on boats.
Kind of inhuman dont you think for a discussion about people?
We don't let most code go straight to prod without review:

* Post-facto review is a norm only on a couple oddball projects

* Out-of-process PR merges are a privilege for only a subset of developers

* We do the same in-depth code review most teams I've worked with in the last 10 years do. If you're rolling out a feature, teammates are reviewing your code.

Take a typical, clueful engineering team and SOC2 it sometime, and you'll see the difference between "not allowing cowboy coding culture" and "satisfying the letter of the SOC2 code review controls".
We're going to see even quicker advances as more people jump into the field after the big recent successes, like image generation & text generation.

We're going to build some pretty incredible things.
You can’t hate the slippery slope fallacy out of existence; it’s real, it applies here, and it means the argument being put forward, that allowing one thing must mean we allow something similar but worse, is not a valid one.

It’s not magic, it’s simply rational. Allowing something doesn’t mean you must then allow something else, that isn’t how it works, and it’s probably more noxious and damaging to society that such a thought is allowed to propagate such as what you’ve written here.
Well, there hasn't been a lot of competition in their space traditionally. Many of those subscribers (I've been one) use it because they need it and there is no better option, but don't exactly enjoy it...
It's really not - https://developer.apple.com/weatherkit/get-started/

temperatureHigh, temperatureHighTime, apparentTemperatureLow, and dozens of other fields that were in DarkSky have "NONE" listed for the Apple API.
I sat in the back of a model 3 last week and my feet didn’t even fit straight under the drivers seat. I had to twist them both to the side for an Uber ride. I’m not small but not excessively large either. Sedans just don’t move groups of adults around very comfortably
I've played many many hours of Roblox with my nephew, and I've yet to encounter anything close to what this article is talking about. I rarely talk in that game, so I'm essentially indistinguishable from a child to any predators.

I've heard plenty of inappropriate language (almost exclusively simple cursing), but that's about it.

I don't want to discount the content of this article, but I agree that it's more likely "just one of a thousand realms where kids might encounter danger, but usually do not."
This is true. But if you have diverse applications and vendors, SOC2'ing that practice will be a pain in the ass, because you're going to have to document how you manage credentials, access, and onboarding/offboarding for each of them. SSO is good on the merits, but it also simplifies clearing SOC2 audits.
I don't give the CA government the benefit of the doubt.

I'm guessing it will be generic and the high speed rail will be used to deliver it.
How about we stop sending starlink to Ukraine, deploying it across the worlds oceans and give it to us here in Tennessee who’ve been waiting over a year on the waiting list.
> The simplest approach, administratively, is to levy the carbon tax “upstream,” where the fewest entities would be subject to it (for instance, suppliers of coal, natural gas processing facilities, and oil refineries).

Include other highly polluting industries with that, and while you may not get 100% coverage, it would definitely cover the majority of carbon intensive products and services and lead to a drastic reduction in emissions.

CCL estimates that the annual administrative cost of a carbon tax in the US would be about $4 to $5 billion per year, which is about 6.8 percent of revenues in year one ($15/ton of CO2e year one, rising by $10/ton each year), but as revenues grow along with the fee, it drops to only about 1.7 percent by year 10.
More like 150 baud. I'm not sure if there was protocol negotiations or just a lot of wait back and forth.

I actually used such a thing to dial a BBS when my Atari 800xl's modem got hit by lightning. Obsolete then, and slow but I got my fix. Fun times...
They're not infosec experts, and don't claim to be.
Index is on the sales rankings like since forever. It is always in the top 10 sales (probably due to its high pricing?)
So good to see a renaissance of "portable apps", now on the web.

All of this extra complexity associated with multi-tiered multi-microservice arch is not needed for many categories of apps, and especially for small teams.
Maybe it is paranoia on my end, but it’s not as small of a risk as it may seem. A couple of years ago, I attempted to pay for an app on Google Play, which didn’t work, so I tried a different payment method, but I put in my number wrong, and so I tried one more time, and on the third attempt, my entire Gmail was temporarily banned for a few days.

It was in that moment that I decided the risk was unacceptable and that I’d switch to my own domain for all emails. It’d just be so devastating losing access to my email.
And everybody who worked there was vetted by MI5 for political opinion: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-43754737
If you could link that holographic sticker effect to mobile tilt input that would be neat.
Strong agree that California’s minimums for insurance don’t make sense. I’m constantly surrounded by $75,000+ cars and have bumped up coverage amounts considerably
I’d say it’s more like painting… a bit of both plus the end result has to be “good” for the tech(nique) to matter.

Don't pick up your phone on vacation folks. It's never going to be something good.
A substantial part of my job is to eliminate scope creep, so yes you absolutely can “just stop”.

Irrational people can use things like momentum and inertia in their arguments, but that’s quite easily stopped by a rational argument outlining the differences between the thing that was allowed and the proposed thing.
Starlink has plenty of room for increasing their antenna size on the satellite size to something that a handheld could use. I was surprised how small the phased array on the sat side is. Increase that to make it similar to the size of the satellite (not counting solar array) and with the larger v2 satellites, and they'd have much more gain (allowing the handheld antenna to be smaller). They essentially already use 5G bandwidth.

It'd only work well outside, though.
It takes up unused space, I don't see what's wrong. You already have tabs just below it.
The genes would see it as a failure, but they don't really have feelings or motivations, so I'm not sure it makes sense to anthropomorphise them. If we do, it's easy to not take offense, you just have a charitable interpretation and move on with your day.
Worse, it's a power of 4[1].

That means this Hummer (at ~9000 lbs) is doing about 40 times more damage than a Chevy Malibu (at ~3600 lbs).

That said, passenger vehicles are almost a rounding error in terms of wear compared to trucks hauling freight.

It's a lot more than a "few whales". Commercial shipping, oil rigs, military (even if only for the recreational/non-operational traffic) will be a much bigger pie than yachts.
Don't forget the doctors who are part of that syndicate.

I'm a professional patient, 99.9% of the doctors I've took treatment from(not U.S.) for major ailments are businessmen masquerading as doctors and I'm not talking about some scrappy hospitals; These are world renowned hospital chains.

What happens when you optimize for profit, instead of medical science? Wrong diagnosis and prognosis; I'm a victim of one and it has ruined my life.

On the other hand, There are doctors who risk their lives every day to serve people in need e.g. Doctors without borders, Doctors who rushed to serve during pandemic(Many of them loosing their life to it) etc.
Intel's bosses are most probably losing sleeps on the limited talents available especially the more experienced engineers, and the lack of talents trend is pervasive in the electronics industry:

Thomas is definitely a disingenuous scoundrel.

In all seriousness, I laugh at absurd absolutes. If you show me a sentence with "Most people" and the same sentence with "Everybody", I'm going to smile at the second.

But I don't think that means it's ambiguous. "I literally died" makes me laugh but there's no deception.
They announced they are not launching any more v1s, and they cannot launch v2s on current hardware.

That is not to say that, even when they can launch new birds, they will be able to make a profit on regular peon service. They probably will depend utterly on top-dollar accounts. Don't be surprised if your peon bandwidth gets disappointingly slow as they add more customers, and more who are more important than you.
It's hard to say because they're both different, but I think truly great frontend work is a bit rarer because there's so many more approaches that can solve the same problem, so you need to use your a bit of artistic judgement on top of being a wizard coder.
I'm still using it almost daily, since 1980, although I suppose today it's an emulation inside vim not the real thing.

Not used for my code IDE or anything, but little config files etc.

We had vi on our '11 in 1980 but I could never get along with it and still can't.

Same here! Hard to match WinForms productivity for small apps, especially if you cut your teeth in the 90's VB era. And you can push WinForms really far with the fancy controls in the Syncfusion Community License.
If the city is in a state that has little or no water, this doesn't make sense. Water in the U.S. South West is now a scarce resource with no solution in sight.
They explain "pay as you go". It means you won't be billed for any month you don't use it in.
The point is that the host can modify the code at will and can therefore access the messages if they wanted to. It defeats the idea of e2ee which is to make it impossible for a middleman to access the messages.

With e2ee you have to trust the client. But a client that is running as a website hosted by someone else can't be trusted as the host can modify it and you'd never known because browsers don't have a way to alert you when a site changed.

The only way this makes sense is if you (or your business) self-hosts.
Appalachia, hence my aside about it being literal.
You may not be aware that Iridium has been doing inter-satellite links since the late 90s. Using optical rather than RF doesn't really change the game that much.
The public service are un-elected, largely unaccountable, very expensive and wield a tremendous amount of power.

Westminster type systems are arguably hybrid oligarchies. Australia is a good example - look how it continues to function in largely the same way, on largely the same trajectory, despite having 5 prime ministers in the last 10 years.
The name Theranos sounds like an evil company in a dystopian fiction.
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older

It's a song about teenage love, about wishing they were old enough to marry.

It's not about wishing they were old enough to retire; teenagers don't think that far ahead.
Hypothetically, what would a charter look like that preserved citizen privacy and prevented schemes like this? If there were a there there, it might be worth doing something about it.
Station wagons died in North America mostly due to fuel economy standards, just like all the other full-size sedans. They still exist in Europe/UK (as "Estate Cars") where the fuel economy standards, vehicle and fuel taxation work differently and don't advantage SUVs/light trucks as much.
I'll respond to the lame joke. 1 and 2 are dead, 5 doesn't exist, and it supports 3 or 4.
This has that cringey quality you can only find in self-indulgent writing. Kind of like what you'd expect from a small lib arts school undergrad lit major. Some things are better left unwritten or delivered in conversation over a drink or two.
I can see how revolutions started in the past.
My experience using tools to remove unnecessary / intrusive webpage elements (directly through the Element Inspector, via CSS managers such as Stylus, or the uBlock Origin element-blocking tool.

Even non-advertising elements such as social-media icons, related articles lists, sidebars, and the like. The more the display is limited to simply the text I intend to read, the less stress and distraction I feel.

Virtually all studies of multitasking show that multitaskers both overestimate their abilities and their performance is negatively affected by the attempt.

Ignoring intrusions is a task.
That doesn't seem to answer the question? It lists a bunch of biosimilar insulin analogues but doesn't say why California wouldn't buy them instead of manufacturing their own molecule.
It's a tax policy designed to stimulate economic activity. (I'm not saying it's good vs bad, just that that seems to be the overall design. If you want to spur investment in new tractors [and employment at John Deere], make tractors eligible for section 179 expensing in the first year, which helps the businesses cash flow [and the government still gets its tax money in later years, when the deduction is $0 for that vehicle instead of a portion as it would be if spread out over multiple years])
> In response, some folk back into the weak form of the argument. The weak form is what you get when you hear someone say “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes” — that is, perhaps the lessons of history are too specific to a particular context to generalise, but that some … similarity is consistent over time

Well, it seems you're drawing on the same argument that has already been addressed (or at least mentioned in passing) in the article.

So ... pop quiz: how is reading for concept instantiations different from reading for patterns?
Check out helium network. Crazy LoRaWAN density in LA.
> Because for a team of competent folks, I really don't see any massive barrier to creating a cross-platform, desktop-only GUI framework.

The barrier is opportunity cost; there's plenty of actively maintained, cross-platform—often desktop-only or desktop-first—GUI frameworks, both ones with many language bindings and ones that are specific to particular languages. Sure, a competent team could make and maintain another one that maybe fits their preferences better than the existing ones—or they could make a useful app using one of the existing ones.

> And for some reason, academia doesn't seem to be interested at all in GUIs and other such things,

Academia is interested in them if it's about new UI paradigms or something, but not it is just bikeshedding.
I've self-hosted my personal email for 25+ years, at a variety of ISP's and multiple IP's over the years. It's not fully automatic, not cattle, my pet. It takes focus and effort. I do it because I like the independence and do not have any more spam than my big three accounts. Delivery was only an issue once. Microsoft. I filed a request to fix it. They fixed it in a couple of days for free.

> Adjusting that attitude, or at least never saying that bit out loud, may win you more friends.

Having a spine and saying what you believe is what wins you friends. Self-censoring being afraid that someone on the internet will get triggered will NOT win you friends.

Edit: For what’s worth I don’t agree with them that having no kids is a fail.
Nobody intentionally steps on LEGOs, so why does it happen? Because it’s unintentional. Either they didn’t see it or they did and simply misused their foot placement. Not very puzzling.

Haven’t you even done something accidentally that you didn’t mean to do? Maybe bumped your head on something?

Knowing California, all the $50 million will be spent on environmental reviews and lawsuits brought by NIMBYs.

Teenagers already are old enough to marry.
Early MS was heavily dec-10 based, wasn't it? so it's possible its lineage comes through TECO, via CP/M ED.
It is always a mistake to assume his tweets mean anything specific. He means they won't be launching 2.0 birds on Falcon, full stop. Reasons are slippery things.
All authors of code are end users.

Not all end users are authors of code.

Stop seeing devs as seperate from end users. That's how you get perverse ecosystems and worse, get perverted code.

Furthermore, you shouldn't tout that end users aren't writing GPGPU code as either an excuse, or point of pride. If we were actually doing our jobs half as well as we should be (as programmers/computer scientists/teachers), they damn well would be.
Why does your daughter need to be online?

I simply don't understand that need.

I'm thinking about introducing our eight year old to basic computational literacy, but I'm planning to have that be without any internet access at all. He can learn to type, write, program, do digital painting / photo editing, movie editing, sound editing, and 3D animation without general internet access.

How is playing online multiplayer video games a need for a child?

Even if you think it is for some reason I'm not seeing, why not have het play games where you can run a private server, so you have control over exactly who can log in and can keep an eye on things like chat logs?

Yes it's very different. Vanced is a modified YouTube app, NewPipe is a completely new App, based on youtube-dl and scarping youtube's webpage. You cannot login, like or comment. Subscriptions work on a per-device basis (Though you can export and import them). They are updated either by the channel's RSS feed or by scraping the channel's webpage. Also supports other services like soundcloud.
