What process was used to manage source code?

"At the outset of a project involving two or more programmers: Do assign a member of the team to be the version manager. … The responsibilities of the version manager consist of collecting and cataloging code files submitted by all members of the team, periodically building a new system image incorporating all submitted code files, and releasing the image for use by the team. The version manager stores the current release and all code files for that release in a central place, allowing team members read access, and disallowing write access for anyone except the version manager."

And that's ok. It's meant to be organic and will take time. Not everyone else is there intentionally to meet a partner. It's about increasing your surface area for that to even occur. It's often a friend of a friend, so being in the zone is a good thing.
"Freedom of speech" has multiple meanings. One is a question of law (e.g. the gov won't arrest you) the other is a statement of guiding principle (e.g. that it is good for people to feel able to express themselves).

The scope and worth of that principle can and should be debated, but it shouldn't be ignored. E.g. shunning anyone who expressed the opinion that maybe homosexuality shouldn't be banned would have been bad for social change.
Having read a lot about the whole Theranos matter I feel like Sunny really made some bad life decisions:

Imagine being in his shoes: It's the early 2000s. You're in China learning Mandarain, you're in your late 30s, you made $40 million selling your shares of your company in July 2000 shortly before it failed in the dot.com bust and you meet this 18 year old who you eventually have a romantic relationship with[3]. They did admit a romantic relationship in court documents, so this isn't making stuff up. Life's big decisions confront you, and what do you end up doing? Let's see how it worked out. All this is on the Wikipedia page for Sunny[1]:

Fails:

- Divorce wife.

- Loan $13 million, no interest to Theranos. [2]

- Become COO of biotech company even though you have no formal background in biotech.

- Waste many years of your life in fraudulent company.

- Be convicted of fraud, disgraced, and possibly spend years in prison.

- She throws you under the bus and testifies that her bad behavior at Theranos was largely the result of your abuse sexual and otherwise. Jury doesn't believe it, but her accusation is still out there.

- Have no kids, never remarry. Holmes gets married and has a kid as she was awaiting her criminal trial.

Wins:

+ Have romantic relationship with beautiful lady in her 20s.

Anyway, there's some big life decisions here that, IMHO, Sunny made very poorly.

[3]"Holmes and Balwani met for the first time in 2002. The pair initially met in Beijing, China, while on a language immersion program with Stanford University. Holmes was an 18-year-old high school senior at the time, whereas Balwani was a married, 37-year-old university student completing his MBA at the University of California, Berkeley. All in all, the pair had a 19 year age difference" https://stylecaster.com/elizabeth-holmes-sunny-balwani/

> Traditionally; the existence of a Navy was to project power across a nation's geographically disparate colonies

Colonies were a long time ago. The US Navy doesn't project power over colonies. It's true that the Navy provides some backbone to international law on the seas, but international law is what rules.

> if your broader point is to assert that Humanity will leave behind its nature of bloody violence & territorial aggression when we develop our solar system, not only is that stance laughably idealistic, its patently false; we're already developing space, it already serves an extremely critical role in national security, and we're still killing each other & fighting over land. Treaties, agreements, and NGOs are fantastic, until a sovereign suddenly realizes "hey, actually, that asteroid is worth a lot of money, we're going to take it".

People like to disparage international peace and order - hey, why not? What fun! What do we have to lose? - but the fact is that the post-war, rules-based international order has worked amazingly well. There has never been a more peaceful time in history. Advanced democratic countries don't even think of solving problems - whether asteroids or otherwise - through violence. Much of the world is blanketed with democracies and run this way: Europe outside Russia (Europe is peaceful!), almost the entire Americas, much of East Asia (with the notable exception of Chine - except Taiwan), etc.

> Treaties, agreements, and NGOs are fantastic, until a sovereign suddenly realizes "hey, actually, that asteroid is worth a lot of money, we're going to take it".

As described above, that doesn't happen. When is the last time a democracy did that?

How is LN the right choice for decentralization? you need central relay nodes with a ton of liquidity. Besides there is nothing stopping you from setting up LN over a L1 that isn't cramped, you have a limited throughput of settlement transactions.

Satoshi himself even suggested a blocksize increase. It is really a no-brainier when the cost of storage and bandwidth will continue to decrease over time, especially in a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin where the vast majority of the hashrate is from ASIC farms that can bear the cost of a single node while the rest simply use SPV wallets.
I think they meant this as a bit of hyperbole to get the point across.

I received mine in the first batch, have been using it for ~a year now. Have used it for everything from 4K Netflix to gaming to work, ama I guess. My experience has been overall good relative to the rest of the options in this space (most other companies are still offering limited 500kbps/high-latency plans for twice as much), but you can definitely still push it hard enough to reveal that it's still satellite internet underneath. It's worth it if your other options are HughesNet or a data-capped WISP.
You've got it backwards.

When rates go up, bonds become more useful as an investment.

When the 1-year US Treasury was yielding 0.2% earlier this year, it was a bad idea to buy 1Y treasuries (and most other treasuries). Today, the 1Y is 2.87%, and suddenly a whole slew of investors just won't want to invest into shady high-risk companies anymore (Hey look, US Treasuries are yielding good values again. Lets buy those instead).

The people who did buy 0.2% 1Y treasuries earlier this year (or worse, 10Y or 30Y treasuries) have lost a lot of value due to these higher interest rates.

-------

Case in point: the 1Y US Bond is literally a better rate than my 15Y mortgage. It makes more sense to buy 1Y bonds than for me to pay off my mortgage right now (ignoring tax issues of course)
> $100k in a LCOL area

OK, but it's very easy to live comfortably on $100k in a LCOL area. The idea that these people have no fat in their budgets is risible. Put me in charge of the books and I promise they'll be in tip-top shape in 6 months. But they'll hate me, because a lot of stuff they've been keeping in the "needs" bucket is gonna find its way into the "wants" pile in a hurry.

If you don't have an emergency fund, then you cannot afford to eat out. You cannot afford two cars. The one car you have better be a used Hyundai. You can't afford to take a vacation. You can't afford those violin lessons. Hell, you can't even afford Hulu or Netflix. Go for a quiet walk and gather your thoughts toward accumulating an emergency fund, because if you don't have one, then you cannot afford any of that stuff.
Just because there's no "official" way to access history as a client in Signal doesn't mean the history isn't there. You'd have to ask that "Moxie Marlinspike" or whatever his name is fella.

The HF radios are transatlantic and transpacific using 10-30 MHz radios. The terrestrial microwave links (several GHz) have been around for a decade, and HF radio is fairly recent. Starlink will have higher bandwidth, but also higher latency.
European Microsoft Azure operates as an independent German entity, or was some time ago at least.
I’ve done work video calls using my friend’s starlink wifi on a remote mountain, and it’s unlimited bandwidth so this didn’t cost anything beyond the flat $110 monthly fee. Are geosynchronous services even capable of doing the bandwidth and latency needed for a two-way video call? And if so, how much would it cost?
I don't know that it's scapegoating if you actually did it.

To be super clear, I'm not an Elizabeth Holmes fan. Not at all. But unless we have a specific reason to believe that Sunny Balwani had a less fair trial than she did, why shouldn't he also be in trouble?

Until Holmes is sentenced in a couple of months, I think it's premature to say she got away with anything.

Your comment gets it entirely backwards. France is currently in a terrible spot with their monoculture of nuclear because the hot temperatures have caused shutdowns of many reactors, many old plants are offline because of security concerns and the French operator of the nuclear plants is close to bankruptcy and needs to be pulled back into government ownership because renewables can be so much cheaper today.

What Germany did get wrong is that they invested too much in renewables too early and that continues to haunts Germans by paying subsidies for renewables installed more than 10 years ago. Germany helped to jump-start the whole scaling of renewables (together with the US) but the price is high.

I would argue this isn't actually so bad because we need to price energy higher anyway to reduce consumption and further accelerate the building of renewable capacity.

No matter what anybody says: nuclear is dead. The number of projects in planning (outside China) is so small that it won't make the slightest dent for our emissions goals. The only topics worth focusing on is solar, transmission and energy storage. Wind only matters in the next 10 years. Afterwards solar will be another magnitude cheaper and wind won't be able to compete.

In the context of ordinary contracts, the entire court and legal system exists to determine whether a given event happens.

Moreover, the legal system isn't intended as merely a means to determine whether a contract is fulfilled. It's also intended as a institution for preventing "cheating" and it has a concept of cheating. IE, me just satisfying a proxy for my end of a contact while not fulfilling the actual intent will not result in a judgement that the contract isn't fulfilled but also penalties of various severity if I intended to defraud a customer. If I build a bridge out of cardboard and, say, show pictures as proof of my supposed actions, I may well go to prisoner for fraud rather than prospering, even if it takes a while.

Smart contracts, in contrast, inherent can't distinguish between a proxy-value and a real situation - and their inability to do so is seen by their naive proponents as being their appeal. Equivalently, they have no concept of cheating. Thing considered "Hacks" and "fraud" have been prevent in etherium sure but by the opaque actions of governing boards, much less transparently than the ordinary courts.

And you can't make the problem go away with a reputation system since if the benefit lying gets higher than the cost of losing reputation anyone may lie with no other repercussions. And reputation always leaves the possibility of hacks to systems open - as the article shows.
Exactly right. The goal with nuclear waste is basically to get it back down to levels similar the original ore. At that point, it isn't especially dangerous.

Many radioactive products are either very short lived, and will decay down to minimal levels within a few hundred years, or are very long lived, causing very low radioactivity.

The problem are the elements that are in between which is mostly the other actinides. Those are the ones that would require tens of thousands of years or more to reach safe activity levels. Fast reactor designs don't have significant amounts of such elements in the waste. The waste will decay to uranium ore-ore like levels within only hundreds of years.

The biggest issue is that they need relatively enriched uranium to operate at first. After they are started, they can be used as a breeder reactor that can take in natural uranium and convert it to the enriched uranium it needs to continue running.
Not as overrated as this discussion is bike shedding.
Seems like everybody is jumping on the "environmentalists that don't like nuclear power do it for ideological reasons and are paid by the oil lobby" resentment bandwagon.
While I think it is a fair point and while I do think it's a stupid mistake to close nuclear plants, there are also issues that I rarely see addressed probably because they drown under all the rest :

1. Nuclear plants are very expensive and some projects have been pumping taxpayer's money. I suspect they are not so easy to conceive, build and maintain as other sources of clean energy. Especially since they become a security issue when they get old.

2. The problem of waste management has always been a problem. I hear it argued that it is a solved problem but certainly having this problem lying since the beginning of the industry has not helped not build trust.

3. The nuclear catastrophies have been overblown because they were more spectacular and a new thing affecting lot of people in a short period of time BUT it remains that it is hard to trust people that thought building a nuclear plant in an island that is the victim of dramatic eathquakes and tsunamis a good ides AND the problem is that it fucks up an entire area for who knows how long ? That is certainly scary, no need for oil producers lobbying there to explain distrust.

4. Is there even enough uranium for the world ? Is is sustainable to invest loads of money into systems whose fuel is on foreign countries that you have to dig up ? (so according you gathered by now I am not pro-oil. Keep it in the goddamn ground)

5. It is a single point of failure. Thank god no terrorist thought of "landing" a plane there. It's broken ? No power for an entire region.

6. Finally, but this is a minor point as those considerations may be a luxury during our climate crisis, the technology lends itself well to despotic elite rule, everyone depends on who can secure control of a little army of skilled workers and engineers. Those control the energy supply would have tremendous power.

How did I move the goalposts? I mentioned mass transit options in my first post.

I wasn't aware of the limitations on the tolls inside Manhattan to below 60th. I can see how you may have focused on the bridge/tunnel tolls (and maybe I should have been more explicit), but that's the word they have been using for those charges.

> Free to drive anywhere in NYC at no additional cost except for the dense traffic riddled area of lower Manhattan.

This is similar to how you are free to go anywhere in the PATREVE metro area except for the dense, canal-filled area of Venice.

> Unfortunately, airfare is also not free and so based on your logic NYC has an airfare surcharge.

Apparently LGA (unlike JFK or EWR) is considered walkable. I didn't think it was, but it is with 3 hours.

AFAIK, unlike tolls and mass transit, no portion of the airfare goes to NYC, nor does NYC have any direct control over the costs. So it's a good counterexample.
I have pretty much always hated web apps. I never used a webmail client as my primary mail interface, even. It was Eudora, or Outlook, or Mail.app.

Local, native apps are just better. They're faster, they can better respect platform interface and behavior conventions, and you can use them on an airplane.

I see a lot of volatility for Iridium with quite a few years with big losses and zero profit.

Viasat simply has near zero profit margins, and quite a few years with losses.

Inmarsat looks like it has 20% or so profit margin for the last few years, but I could not quickly find more years of data.

Also, I would expect decent (10%+) profit margins for a business with few customers and extremely costly barriers to entry. Both of those factors add to volatility, and investors would require a commensurate return to make it worth investing in.

Think about all the things you own for which there is a more efficient or safer version.
While I generally agree with you, I live in a large metropolitan city, and there are just as many trucks being used for work as there are vanity trucks. The work trucks actually tend to the smaller side, think Chevy s10s and the most common working vehicle is actually a cargo van, mostly Ford transit connects. And then there are tons and tons of lifted wranglers and trucks that never see a day of work. It's laughable, as I grew up in a more rural area and never saw that. Excepting of course the redneck coal rollers with hanging nuts and all. But those were not that common. And I don't think I've ever seen a Hummer actually used on a job site.

The problem is actually that most of those systems are on considerably less advanced tech than Starlink and as a result only have a fraction of the capacity.

Thus each piece of capacity costs more.. thus the very high costs of Iridium and Viasat.

Their profit margins aren't actually that good because their costs are so high compared to their capacity and the costs are so high that demand simply doesn't materialise - people just do without.

Starlink will change this game because of their drastically increased capacity (assuming they get sat-sat links working). Until another mega-constellation comes online I fully expect them to do to satellite Internet what they did to the launch market.
