>>this is somewhat luxury if Starlink exists

If multiple and more reliable than Starlink existed, maybe.

The point of universal access is just that - UNIVERSAL access.

We are already failing this massively with laws granting territorial monopolies to companies like Comcast AT&T, Verizon, etc., enabling them to give the worst possible service at globally awful prices. Granting another effective monopoly to Starlink is not the solution, UNLESS we are going to regulate all of this like a utility - actual regulated standards of service, by companies with a large in-state business nexus, cost-plus rates approved by regulatory body, etc.

Using Starlink seems fine, but Starlink has effectively zero skin in the game, no in-state nexux. If it is convenient for them to shut off or downgrade service to these houses for some reason, there is essentially zero recourse for these customers or the state to exercise any leverage to cause Starlink to resume service.

This is actually an excellent solution, with a local vendor with skin in the game, providing solid fiber infrastructure.

You really seem to entirely miss the point of UNIVERSAL SERVICE. Yes, the local post office makes a wild profit on delivering a $0.60 1-ounce first-class envelope to a PO box in the same post office, and loses an insane amount delivering the same letter to/from Wherethafakawe, Alaska by bush planes. I'm sure they could be more efficient scanning the letter and sending an email to/from Alaska, but that won't get grandma's fabric sample to her grandkid, or my high-performance sample to my customer. The point is that the same service level everywhere has it's own benefits, and those benefits are to the entire nation, not only to some.

With every general solution, you can point out individual point inefficiencies. What you are failing to notice is that if you optimize for every one of those point inefficiencies, you effectively de-scale the system.

You lose ALL the benefits of a consistent system, as well as losing most of the economies of scale. This is why companies repeatedly go on binges to reduce their supply chain vendor count - sure, some of those suppliers are lower cost at that point, but the overhead of managing many redundant suppliers outweighs the cost.

And you are looking at only one point of the costs, getting bent out of shape, and trowing out a generic "taxes bad" comment. Yes, it looks like a clueless anti-government political comment.

It might even be the case that in some circumstances, a Starlink solution could be best. But you have done none of the analysis to establish that claim, and other people, who are actually 'in the arena' have found a different solution is better. If you want to challenge them, do so with something better than "ugh, taxes and spending bad".
In 2004, I started community college program and had a professor teaching intro to databases. He was retired from industry and had lived through the rise of RDBMS's and made his money in that. Teaching was just his hobby. He liked to have fun with the class (120+ of us) by having us do call-response things as a group.

Prof: "Why do we normalize?"

Class, in unison: "To make better relations."

Prof: "Why do we denormalize?"

Class, in unison: "Performance."

It took a lot of years of work before the simplicity of the lesson stuck with me. Normalization is good. Performance is good. You trade them off as needed. Reddit wants performance, so they have no strong relations. Your application may not need that, so don't prematurely optimize.
Then that should hurt them when inflation reduces, no?
In Amsterdam rain, cold does not deter cycling.
All of the existing regulation WILL NOT make a bit of difference if everybody wants their money out of the bank at the same time. If you have been watching the half dozen nations going through high/hyper inflation, withdrawal is the first service to be discontinued at signs of trouble.
Inflation is not a force that acts on prices. It is a weighted measurement of price increases. 8.5% CPI is perfectly possible even with 100% increases in the price of gasoline. "Wait, but this thing rose by more than 8.5%" is not a coherent argument. In fact, you can go look at the breakdown by price category and see the categories that have gone up by higher amounts.
Does it support monitor arms?
I actually find it quite impressive what kind of things the IBM engineers thought of right from the start, given it was their very first PC ever.

Design a text and a graphics card, make them have different base addresses so you can have dual monitor. Or allow having an option ROM at a specific address that can hook into the boot process of the BIOS, adding additional boot sources, eg network boot (whatever you can cram into 32k).
What Is Kafka Connect? [Free Resources]
Yes, if you go back several thousand years, you can find such trash. I suppose I should have limited it to modern philosophers that are more relevant and less influenced by magical thinking to discourage lazy answers. You have not bothered to address the question of the VALUE of incorporating slavery, thought-crime, misogyny and magical thought into one's philosophy. Are you incapable of addressing the problem or do you realize you cannot justify it?
I suspect the missing bit of context here is that we have a lot more potential sites than that we have archaeologists with the time and budget to investigate all of them.

So in programmer terms, most potential sites never make it out of the priority queue
This is correct. Many are conflating oil and natural gas. Both have increased significantly, but natural gas has increased the most.
The extent to which "How to win friends and influence people" stays relevant never stops fascinating me.
>In fact, standardized tests items must be well-defined problems, because they require indisputable answers. Matching a word to its synonym, finding the area of a trapezoid, putting pictures in the correct order—all common tasks on IQ tests—are well-defined problems.

>Spearman was right that people differ in their ability to solve well-defined problems. But he was wrong that well-defined problems are the only kind of problems. “Why can’t I find someone to spend my life with?” “Should I be a dentist or a dancer?” and “How do I get my child to stop crying?” are all important but poorly defined problems.

I wish the article went a bit deeper into analyzing the structural flaws of intelligence tests, because I think this is also an answer to why some people do poorly in school, yet seem to do very well in life overall (materially and emotionally speaking). The ability to find happiness is something worth teaching to people, if it can be taught. I honestly don't know if it can be. Certainly the ancients believed a good, moral life could be achieved through instruction, as the sheer number of writings on that topic they left behind clearly indicate, but then they also had a lot of curious ideas about the nature of reality as we know it. I think it's definitely worth considering reordering the priority of our education toward "poorly defined" questions, at least in part. The real difficulty will be finding people "qualified" to teach these "lessons".
kitchenaid has also been cheapening up their mixers in recent years... the $200 mixer at costco or your department store now has a much weaker motor and plastic gears that can tend to strip over time with certain workloads (particularly the bread-mixing attachment).

(the argument is that the plastic gear serves as a "mechanical fuse" and if something's going to break it's better that it be a $2 plastic gear instead of burning up your motor, but, in the big picture, they're also weakening up the motor, etc.)
Last mile subsidies are super weird. I was looking at a property in montana in the middle of nowhere that had no electricity nearby, but had gigabit fiber. I called the ISP and it was cheaper to get phone+Gb than just Gb due to subsidy rules.

Basically everyone out there (including me) is on starlink now. Turns out the subsidies were not only inefficient, but pretty pointless.
FDIC insurance was added partway through the Great Depression. So yes, people lost money, but that’s because the current system didn’t exist.

Also, good luck finding someone who lived during the Great Depression and carried a bank balance at the time. They’d have to be 100+ years old!
I doubt it would be viable to stock suburban walmart via box trucks.
The article mentions the domains were registered only 40 minutes prior. WHOIS says the Twilio one was registered through porkbun.com, an American company based in Oregon.

Does anyone know what, if anything, PorkBun could know about who this person was? What I mean is, is it really possible to buy a domain anonymously? I don't mean private registration.. I'm talking unknown to even to the hosting provider. Things like payment (apart from a stolen CC number) isn't every other payment method directly traceable to the bad actor?

Edit: I think I found my answer. Company takes multiple forms of payment including Crypto and Alipay. https://porkbun.com/support/payment_options
Not for power tools though. Only for hand tools.

Before Sears imploded, the power tools were mostly made by Black and Decker, which owns DeWalt but also makes a lot of low-end crap that ended up in the Craftsman line. I'm not sure who makes them now.
Why can't you use Gmail on your iPhone? (why are you using apple's calendar when you already have others)

the short of it is you are in a very small class of users and people don't build tools for small markets, especially when it costs tens of thousands of dollars
Why would the insurance company pay more than the adjuster's estimate? Isn't that the point of them sending a loss adjuster, to determine how much they should pay?
I hate Facebook MUCH MORE than the average HN user, but I don't think Facebook can be blamed for this specific instance. If law enforcement asks for data, you have to comply or find yourself in a very tight situation.

However, if this situation can teach us anything, is how important e2e encryption is so important. If a company cannot read your messages, they cannot share them with third parties like in this case.

Of course, I've been saying this for years, but people claim it's fine since they have nothing to hide. You don't have anything to hide, until abortion, contraception, or fornication becomes a crime. Before your religion is banned, or any other similar situation.

Can we please start learning for repeating the same mistakes over and over for decades?
It depends. We employ a lawyer to assess risks associated with each project.

In general - as long as you don't have to login, don't infringe on intellectual property rights and don't harm targeted servers - you should be ok.
That also depends on the X, from my experience working at FAANGs, startups, etc... I have never seen a 10x engineer in good teams, I have only seen "10x engineers" on teams without great engineers. The comparison with sports and music is pretty silly, as those are environment where the winner(s) take all (there can only be one Billie Eillish (lol) even tho there are many singers who are better), engineering is often a team effort. In the other hand, the best engineers I have seen, just spend more time than anybody else working on a problem, and often are the ones who like to show off more, and very often lack the skills in other areas of life.
Not sure not much worse that is than any other ISP to be honest, unless they can decrypt packets.

They do have to support https://ndcac.fbi.gov/calea/lawful-intercept-standards
Thank you, that was a great link for us uninitiated folks.

Also another great plug for ArsTechnica (even though the main article is them as well, and I'm sure most of this audience is well aware of them) and the excellent technical writing they do.
Rust syntax is a bit more refined than just "a new convoluted syntax that a single dev happened to like."

You can't just add pointers to TypeScript to create a systems language. You also have to remove garbage collection. (Because how are you going to do hard real time, and write custom memory allocators, with a garbage collector in the way?) And then you have to do that in a consistent way, and preferably in a way that doesn't invite the programmer to make mistakes. (Introducing pointers introduces a lot of new ways to make mistakes. A good systems language should help the programmer not make them.) This leaves you needing to do a lot more modifications to the language than just introducing pointers.
How weird not to see Kärcher on the list. A German family enterprise that seems to have cornered the EU market for great quality at fair prices for shop vacuums for home and professional use. They are known to be always ugly but durable and able to take any beating.
It's windows only, sadly. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/17881/intel...

There's a very simple menu system to scale up and down the core frequencies, and to select application execution profiles. It comes with internal temp and voltage monitors, and built-in stress tests to benchmark.

My main tips are to remove thermal boost, remove core scaling (the heterogeneous frequencies it assigns when only a few cores are active vs all), and to cap all cores to 3-4Ghz, depending on the quality of your passive cooling.

No bios adjustments needed, no restarts required, and built-in watchdog to revert if things go poorly. Really nice.

Recent, huge bug though: On some platforms, it requires disabling visualization, which limits use of the WSL. That had better be fixed ASAP, it's a big deal.
... then, after it's overturned, the political winds can shift hard to the right and talking about homosexuality or trans or other issues like that can be branded speech-violence and prosecuted.

Power, once given to the state, is hard to take away and political winds change.

Do people not get this?

I say the same thing to right wingers who advocate giving more power to the state in other ways. "We should give Trump unilateral power to fire government employees!" "Okay, then you're fine when President Pelosi inherits those powers?"
I'm not sure this is generally true. The company Symbolics used Lisp as their systems language, for example.
Or a bike trailer if you need to carry more. Some can detach and be used as a hand cart too, so perfect for grocery shopping!
It feels strange to me that while experts are saying there is a crisis at the bottom of the article, the start of the article spends quite a lot of time on a lady that has a very fast growing tumour and had two mammograms cancelled due to covid.

Presumably, the writers thought that was a more impactful story, and added a human touch but to me it signals the opposite. What would the new policy be "don't have pandemics"? Even with 20/20 hindsight, I'm not sure what could be done differently for this particular case.

The only real obvious one is "Her cancer was growing quickly, she was told, but it would be eight weeks before a mastectomy could be scheduled to remove her breast."

But, presumably the people to do the operation were booked out for those 8 weeks with operations for other people with serious cancer issues.

Possibly the system is totally broken and they randomly assign appointments based on star-signs, but they don't actually tell us anything like that, just that everything is busy due to Covid.

And presumably that applies to everything medical, not just cancer or mammograms or mastectomies. If it was just one specific region, or specialism, that would be a much more tractable problem.
Sneaky little hotbitses.
> "It's quite clear that TypeScript is going to be around forever"

Haha that really is wild. It was just a blink of an eye ago that Ruby was the big thing and now when do you ever hear about it?

I see TypeScript being around for a while because it's doing to JS what C++ did to C, but WebAssembly is currently a huge unknown that could end up either being the death knell of the JS ecosystem long term, or have no real effect whatsoever on it.

So JS/TS could be just as popular as now, or totally obscure in 15 years, in my estimation, but it would be insane if C was gone. There's just not enough time or motivation to rewrite the vast amount of C/C++ code under the hood of literally everything everywhere.
I did the same about 18 months ago. I found shows were just piling up on my TiVo and I hardly ever watched them. I miss access to live TV now and then but I rarely want to watch sports and it's just not worth it to me to pay for that access. Of course, I could always add a live streaming service if I change my mind at some point--and I'd still probably be paying less than I did for cable TV.
Famously a UK man was arrested for teaching his dog to raise a paw in imitation of the Nazi salute.
He said the things he care about doubled in price. This is a remarkable claim. Even gas appears to have only gone up around 30% year over year:

Let's say inflation is at 0%. Then McDonalds decides to double all of their prices for no reason other than that they want more money. Measured inflation will now be greater than 0%. Was that the government stealing money from you?

Money creation is part of the story of inflation, but it isn't the end of the story.
In theory, they will not be taking my money because I file an honest return, the focus of audits is people who have been cheating us all.

Sure some innocent people will get wrapped up in audits, but I’d bet the percent is not as high as we would expect.

A spare string weighs a lot less than a chain. They provide a spare string in the seat pole apparently.

What are the main differences between programmable resistors and varistors or photoresistors? I guess presence of volatile/non-volatile memory, smaller scale size and maybe lower voltage operation (e.g. compared to varistors)?
> it seems like undiagnosed autism is very common

How could one tell how common undiagnosed autism is? All you can do, surely, is divide the number of autism diagnoses by the number of - autism diagnoses.

OK, so you can presume that an autism diagnosis represents some undiagnosed history of autism. But that's presumption. Or I suppose you can make other presumptions - like, this guy's diagnosed autistic, and he functions well; so many other people who function well are probably also autistic. But that's also presumption.

The DSM diagnostic criteria for autism look pretty shaky to me. I'm not saying I don't think autism exists; I think it does exist. But if you want to chuck around statistics about autism, then you have to stick to some strict definition. "Undiagnosed autism" isn't strict, on any criteria. The DSM doesn't define undiagnosed anything.

[Edit] I'm not at all surprised that some people are diagnosed in their middle age; 40 years ago, autism was a pretty exotic diagnosis, few doctors knew much about it or were experienced with it.
If I'm not mistaken, a lot happens on Facebook in the US, including instant messaging.

I had a bunch of terrible experiences with Prime shipping in the first 4-6 months of COVID. That felt understandable to me, and I think it’s improved since then but not nearly back to the level of 2015-2018 performance of Prime.
Insulation, construction style, and usage makes a gigantic difference. Two houses of the same size right next to each other could be using 400% different amounts of energy.
Prominently absent: any hint as to how much this will cost.

Are there actually people who manage to keep their desk empty enough for these screens to be visible? Mine's got an ever-shifting pile of reference books, notebooks and keepsakes right where those are sitting. If I clean it off this stuff will accumulate again rapidly.
This is a fantastic comment and it's clear you're an experimental scientist.
Actually it is quite normal. Its not statistical avg based on income, but that's not what normal means in everyday live.

If you saw a family in a Tesla Model 3 you wouldn't be like 'wow look at that'. You see it everyday. I can literally walk 10m from where I'm sitting and see like 5 Tesla driving by. Its a normal everyday thing.
A recent paper connects SHACL (mentioned in OP) to description logic and OWL: https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.06096 . This is a surprising link which seems to have been missed by SemWeb practitioners when SHACL was proposed.
We have a super expensive Miele bagless and a cheap Kärcher and I always end up using the Kärcher as I don't need to be afraid to break anything... I like Miele products (we have dishwasher stove and dryer and are just waiting for our Samsung washer to fail to buy a Miele) but the price always makes me afraid that any damage will cost me dearly...
Influence? Amazon and Bezos control a huge portion of retail, the internet (aws), the entertainment industry (prime, MGM), gaming (twitch), Washington post… I could go on… they are hugely more influential than anything meta is doing.
It seems to me you're offended that the OP implies that, e.g. Bobby Fischer wasn't good at non-well-defined problems. I would be interested to know why is that.

To clarify: I don't like the way they phrased it either (it was too judgemental), it just didn't bother me so much.
I'm less interested in the people since it's pretty obvious why these "factoids" are so appealing to believe & spread. I find it more fun to catalog the more common ones and track their origins. Two of my favorites:

- "Medical debt is the #1 cause of bankruptcies." This goes back to a handful of papers by, among others, now-Senator Elizabeth Warren and colleagues at the Harvard School of Public Health. There was a lot of back-and-forth at the time, but I'll sum up the objection to the thrust of the papers and the factoid: People who go into bankruptcy tend to have all kinds of debt, and the authors made no rigorous attempt to establish the specific "but-for" causality of medical debt.

- "40% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck." This comes, AFAICT, from the annual Federal Reserve "SHED" survey on household economic well-being. There's lots of good data in these, but downers somehow latched onto the "How would you handle an unexpected $400 expense?" question and interpreted any response other than paying it off in cash or equivalent as "living paycheck-to-paycheck". FWIW, the "pay it off" response has become more popular every year of the survey's existence, rising from 50% in 2013 to 68% in 2021[1].

Just alias the command in your .bashrc? e.g. `alias n="nim compile --run n"`. I'm not sure what the issue is with longer commands because the benefits of writing in a strongly statically typed language definitely outweigh a few extra characters to type, which you don't even need to do with aliases.
My parents have always been quite happy with their central vac. It solves the problem by just exhausting anything that evades the filter to the outside.
