Why do people keep comparing to Theranos when Starlink is already being used by hundreds of thousands of people? Starlink exists. In fact, SpaceX/Starlink now operates more satellites in Low Earth Orbit than every other country and business in the world, combined. Theranos had no proven track record.

Like, what's enough to satisfy you?
I think this case is how do you book you paying one billion cash today for a time machine sometime next Tuesday of next year?

Accrual accounting says even if you have the money it’s not “yours” until the product ships.
We had our baby when I was months to go with my PhD deadline - was a nightmare.
I would like it to be zero. Zero types tracked.
I do not recommend co-sleeping. But if it works for you, great
Also satellite TV went up a couple decades ago.
Self-driving cars have proven harder than expected, but given the rest of Musk's tale, I wouldn't bet against him. SpaceX is already launching satellites, and Starlink is already providing service. T-mobile owns the frequencies for it, it's "just" a matter of building the satellites and putting them into space. If the claim were more outlandish, it would be harder to buy, but the technology is eminently doable.
Z-index is a relic of the imperative styles of the past. Why are we building on top of it, further entrenching us into imperative territory? We should be replacing z-index with something more compatible with modern functional frameworks like React
I didn't hear any claims of "aspirationally".
I know Russia is not exactly in vogue right now but they have a similar model in Saint Petersburgh (the project was initiated and funded by a local businessman who was very much impressed by the museum in Hamburg). It's called Grand Model Russia. One neat thing is that the cars/trucks are moving on their own (even though they get electricity from under the road) and their movements are programmed (avoiding traffic, stopping at the traffic lights, making turns, etc).
It is smaller though than the one in Hamburg and I don't think they have an airport...
No. It’s just his wildest fantasy. In Europe people don’t generally have access to 50 cal rifles
You're right.

RISC-V barely has any end-user visible deployment yet. Despite that, it has strong platform standarization (OS-A Profile, RVA22 and standardized boot process through SBI, UEFI specs).

This is all just in time for VisionFive2, just announced. I suspect it will ship in large amounts.
How will this work in terms of spectrum usage across countries? Will every country have to allocate the same frequencies as the carriers involved in the US? Will every phone have to support particular bands used in the US? A bit confused about how they anticipate tackling the hurdles here.
No, it's will be using standard cell phones with no additional hardware on the cell phone.
Being near water can turn down the default mode network, which is also how psychedelics are thought to work. The idea being that under certain conditions you can reach transcendence without drugs
They taste different, but both have that acidic (not spicy, the kind that opens the nasal passages) flavor that I personally hate.
I'd like to join the "congratulations" crowd but I just can't. Having a kid has made many aspects of my life more difficult and ultimately worse. I've lost countless hours of sleep, my focus is worse, my personal relationships are failing... life is just not as good as it used to be. I have been remote for nearly a decade and I long for the days of working in an office again. I don't miss the people, I miss the peace of having everyone around me working with noise canceling headphones and only knowing people are there when they make it obvious they want to talk and only then because there's a problem to solve that is actually solvable.

I'm not saying his to rain on your parade. I'm saying this because not all people are created equal. You don't have to like parenthood. I love my kid but that doesn't mean that I love what I've become. If you find yourself there (or if anyone else is reading this and thinking they can't believe I'm saying it out loud), it's okay. You can still be a good parent, even if you don't love it and you're not a bad person, as long as you try.
If you are in a position where somebody can stay at home full time you’ll be fine
@dloreto @robrich A little aside from the announcement, but since it seems like you both work on this I wanted to surface something that came up down in a subthread:

I'm curious if you attempted to support macOS by doing this with Nix's dockerTools and cross-compiling (there may be better sources, but it's at least hinted at in https://nix.dev/tutorials/building-and-running-docker-images...)? If so, I'm wondering where that failed or bogged down?

---

Background: I build a tool (https://github.com/abathur/resholve) for ~packaging Bash/Shell (i.e., for demanding all dependencies be present). The tool's technically agnostic, but I built it specifically to fix Shell packaging in Nix.

I think it could benefit a lot of other Shell projects, since one of Shell's big tribulations is dealing with heterogenous environments, but most Shell projects wouldn't see much reason to endure the pain of adopting Nix if they still had to support the heterogenous environments.

Much like you're doing here, I've been hoping to figure out how to build a Nix-based packaging flow that can generate deployable standalone bundles or containers. It'd be a heavy way to bundle Shell, but I imagine some projects would take the tradeoff for predictability and reduced support load. But since it would need to take place within a Nix build, I'd need to cross-compile for it to work on macOS. Hoping you know if it's a dead-end or not :)
> And in 2009, nine years after its purchase by Unilever, France's biggest Dijon producer, Amora-Maille (which makes Maille mustard), closed its Dijon factory, moving production to the nearby commune of Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur.

Before you bring out the pitchforks about this heinous act of culinary imperialism by a soulless British megacorp, check Google Maps: Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur is all of 9 km away from the center of Dijon.

Line of sight will be needed for upload transmit, definitely. However, with sufficient power on the satelites it should be able to transmit loud enough at lower frequencies (better penetration) so it should be receivable inside of a phone pocket or underneath something shallow.
fwiw I know some FAANG companies (Google, Meta) have already transitioned to remote development machines that do exactly this.
Well that's a bit complicated. Traditionally, yes. Korea has been a Confucian society, which meant that the eldest son gets the parent's house, lives with them and takes care of them. Incidentally, being a wife of the eldest son is also very hard, because you are supposed to take care of your in-laws (boy do I have some horror stories).

With modernisation, this has changed.

1. Most women no longer wants to be servants for the in-laws (rightfully so) and wants to live separately

2. With less children, you won't necessarily have a son.

So now, parents live separately, until they are unable to do so anymore. When this happens, the children might take them into their house and care for them or admit them into hospice or retirement home.

You might ask, what happens if your children don't take care of you and you don't have money? Well you are kinda f-ed, as seen with the high elderly poverty rate.

> [Korea has] the highest elderly poverty rate among OECD countries

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8871725/#:~:tex....

Oh, Korean national pension is also set to run out within 10 years or so, which will make the issue worse and/or make the future generation pay disproportionate amount of tax :)))

> If you knew that a couple were going to have a baby with whatever problems, and you did not inform them of this because in your mind, their decision might then somehow upset some other group of people who are neither the mother, nor the father, nor even the close family, then I would find that morally unacceptable.

In addition to the question of morality and autonomy, I think it's also worth considering the practical second-order effects we are likely to see once this kind of libertarian eugenics inevitably becomes easier. Industries like engineering and math will change once parents can avoid having children on the spectrum. Not to mention theater and fashion when parents can choose to have only heterosexual children.

Reminds me of the message at the end of Gattaca.

The biggest real-world example of societal change is probably the sex-selective abortion someone else mentioned which results in an excess of males in several regions of the world. A gender imbalance where males outnumber females by a significant margin seems to result in societal instability so it's not surprising governments work so hard to crack down on it.
People's experiences vary hugely because newborns vary a lot. Some sleep a lot and rarely cry. Some have colic and cry non-stop. It is impossible to predict what life will bring. Statistically speaking your next 2 years likely won't be the most productive from the work perspective.
We were lucky, perhaps. Our newborn slept through the night, 11pm to 6am, nearly every night. My wife has always been protective of her sleep and needs a lot of it. She found that breastfeeding helped both her and the baby sleep (breastfeeding releases oxytocin which is conducive to rest).

3-4 weeks after the baby was born, we were going out to eat, mainly family-friendly restaurants at first. We also traveled frequently both by car and plane.

I would say, having a baby didn’t take away too much of our sleep and we didn’t slow down much at all. It helped that we had a happy, relatively quiet child, though she could occasionally scream with the best of them. Overall, a child brought great joy to our lives, which vastly outweighed any negatives.

Congratulations and remember to enjoy every minute of the experience. Before you know it, they’ll be a teenager. Then the fun begins… ;)
It's not send only. It's a standard cell phone service.
I did try to read it in good faith and give it the benefit of the doubt, but there's about 20 red flags in the article. With the ultimate smoking gun "to consult with advocacy" groups.

Advocacy groups as gatekeepers for scientific publication. It's impossible to get a more biased, emotional and fatalistic view on science.

The next articles on the website:

"Marginalized" people struggling to attend conferences (due to Visa issues)".
"Equity in the workplace."
"Cultural diversity is crucial for African neuroethics"
"Historical trauma compounds experiences of racial injustice"

It's like a Tumblr blog. You can't ever meet the moral "purity" of such staff, so I predict serious scientists go elsewhere, and a game of oppression Olympics begins, as oppression is power.

Four wheels, a cargo bed, and, when it's -20F outside, a cab and heater ;-)

Other than that, yeah, a cycle is great.
The only things that helped our kids learn to sleep (which took us several years to figure out):

- hot shower (not bath) before bed

- immersion school in another language

- sleep training

HTH, congratulations, and good luck!
Fresnel zones are weird. Radio waves don't always behave like line-of-sight would suggest. So out on the water, you might be farther from the tower as the crow flies, but there may be less interference, obstruction, multipath error, etc.
Can be highly dependent on the kid but in my experience:

* Definitely lost a lot of sleep in the early months due simply to how often the baby needed food. This does start to taper off eventually, but whether or not they will sleep through the night is a coin flip for a long time.

* If this is your first, and your partner is in the picture, I actually think that free time can generally still exists. I think I read more books, played more games, and wrote more in Baby 1 Year 1 than I did the year before due to the fact that we were stuck at home a lot more. My advice to try and preserve that time is to establish early a policy of trading off "baby time". In the early months maybe it is sleeping shifts (Person A goes to sleep real early then wakes up at 1AM and is on "duty" while Person B is on "duty" until midnight and gets to sleep in). And then as they start sleeping longer swap off who puts the baby to sleep.

* I have found that the biggest change is in the period after work ends and until they go to sleep. As they get older it just turns into a massive list of "I have to do this" during those hours. Whereas before kids that was a very unstructured time

* For mine the free time crunch was actually the worst in the 2-4 timeframe because they are old enough to be bored, too young to always entertain themselves, and are in constant need of assistance with life things like eating, drinking, being read to, etc.

One of the biggest things that having kids did for me was cause a "hobby triage" where many of the things I was doing had to be re-evaluated to allow for time to do the things that gave me the most joy. I don't binge watch as much TV, watch as many movies, or play a 1/10th of the video games, but I can still focus on the things that bring me the most joy and satisfaction.
Also 10x may not be representative since the 45 miles to a cell tower is all through atmosphere but Starlink is 400 miles up, so there's only 5-10 miles of atmosphere at any noticeable density.
Why is it a good thing to give up remote development for a centralized solution?
>Fermi was probably talking about inevitable things, e.g. if climate is already worsening beyond human limits it's always good to know even if it's too late to do anything. But if knowledge (or our pursuit of it) would lead to new dangers, its perfecly reasonable to (try) to limit knowledge and its spread or pursuit.

Yes, it's like teaching small children how to make poisons and bombs. It's really much better that children be kept ignorant of such things: this knowledge isn't going to help them, or the world, it's only going to cause problems. Adult humans really aren't any better; they're just bigger children.
It will be interesting to see how well it performs inside structures. Is there any info on what kind of power those satellites can output or is that classified?
T-Mobile is paying for this. They might be paying quite a bit since it requires adding a large antenna to every Starlink satellite.
One of the primary reason for selecting 1Password was a native app.

But at this point isn’t much holding me back from switching to BitWarden. I already use it for my business. I guess it’s time to switch my personal too.
Yes, I expect this to be one of many announcements going forward, with Amazon Kuiper and OneWeb coming into the party -- eventually. However, SpaceX has the advantage of vertical integration (they launch their own rockets) which substantially helps with costs.
Seconded. You need to set boundaries in order to keep a private, adult life for yourself and your partner, if you have one.
Absolutely, here is Stanford Prof that was cancelled. All of his viewpoints were grounded in science, but he was skeptical and simply raising the concerns such as "There is no high quality evidence for masks and we should conduct further studies" (Emphasis mine, he didn't say there was no evidence, just not good enough). Worth watching his interviews on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpnbMIOvbjc
If reverse osmosis desalination only takes 3 kwh/m^3 then you could produce 4 million acre-feet for 14.9 billion kWh which would cost about $1.5 billion per year. That is pocket change for replacing a big portion of Colorado river water.

I guess Californian environmentalists love Hetch Hetchy reservoir and making the desert stay dry.
This is the fundamental problem with all the "let's set the interest rates to 0% going forward!" arguments too.

Much like a house, nobody really cares about the sticker price, at least as long as it doesn't lose a ton of money. They care about the monthly payment. And even if interest is 0%, you still have a monthly payment for the principal.

(in some ways, college is even worse than houses since at the time of the loan you really don't know what the monthly payment will be at all... it's just magic money. And in fact your payments can heavily vary based on your income (although you'll still accrue interest) and how long you want to pay it back over.)

Setting 0% interest without some fundamental reform of college costs just kicks the can down the road and allows colleges to balloon costs even further since welp, payments are lower now, so you can afford more, right? You always still have to pay that principal though, so it really is just can kicking - at some point costs will balloon enough that 0% interest still has unaffordable payments merely on the principal itself.

I disagree that it will be "instantly" raising tuition but in the long term yeah, eventually any money that you throw at students (grants, loans, 0% loans, loan forgiveness, etc) is going to be swallowed up by colleges as long as they can get away with it.

Fundamentally, cost controls at "state universities" (and similar public institutions) have to be instituted at some point. I don't have a magic wand for how to make schools run more efficiently - administrators seem to be a problem, excessive construction and remodeling seems to be a problem, sports programs seem to be a problem (almost all are run at a huge loss except for colleges that can manage top-10 status in whatever sport). But as a more general statement, colleges are responding to what they think the market wants, and responding to the perception that if they don't, their competition will and they'll lose students. So this is a situation that's pretty ripe for some kind of regulation at public institutions - it's a clear "market failure" where the market is not giving the desired outcome. The public institutions will, in turn, keep a ceiling on the private institutions, and provide a reasonable alternative.

Unfortunately that will require congressional action - much like the "retroactive 0% would be better than $X loan forgiveness for current students!" idea, it simply will never actually get passed so it's not really an option within the current Overton window. And even if democrats proposed it, republicans would simply say no, they are in opposition to ANYTHING that democrats could count as a win or achievement regardless of whether it's right/wrong or good policy (see: burn pit disability).
When they say salt, they don't mean sodium chloride, they mean a NaCl–KCl–AlCl3 complex that melts at relatively low temperature.
I don't think congestion will be too bad. If you have too much congestion for starlink, you probably have enough traffic to make a tower make sense.
> Fuck, let people live their lives. We all only get one.

I think this is greatly simplifying the concerns that people have in transitioning minors, the statistically anomalous rise in minors that identify as trans [1], and the safety of puberty blockers. For example, see the data that guided the recent Swedish health board decisions to mostly stop puberty blockers. I'm pointing out "minors", because it's all I see in serious discussions. These discussions, and even Sweden's decision, is labeled transphobic. It's trivial to find news article with the title "Sweden is killing trans people".

The word "minor" appears to be the wedge driving the trans division, where those that don't support know that minors aren't good with permanent decision, and those that do support it know that the permanent decision needs to be made as early as possible. I don't think the wedge will be removed without hard science proving safety, which natures statement can only impede.

A story of mustard, a Russian, and a feeble pansy boy:

I once got the bright idea to challenge my friend who often irritated me with his imperviousness to what should be apocalyptic things. I proposed, in a state of misguided confidence, to do a shot of mustard oil. Mustard oil is a generally unknown ingredient in the green imposter most of us recognize as wasabi[1]. It's vicious. Anyway, he accepted the challenge, gulping the shot of mustard oil with a sweet grin of eagerly anticipated schadenfreude. I reluctantly took my own as pledged. The wretched agony that ensued! I writhed and squirmed in an almost hallucinatory pain until I was brought a bushel of fresh basil. Desperate, I chomped every leaf and stem and within minutes was well again, but have not forgotten.

Mustard can be dangerous. But I do love Colman's.

1. Most 'wasabi' isn't wasabi.
I can tell that you will play your violin with life gusto while your Polish teacher do it with life burden. Music should be like that. So many students I saw for the past decades having achive diploma level in piano or violin or sometime both before they attend University ended up throwing away their musical gift. So sad.
Metrics like IQ also help establish merit instead of nepotism, and identify what level a person is capable of learning at.

A group metric for your country becoming more successful and capable of maintaining what we call "democracy" -- 95 IQ and below can't really.

Also, water specifically has good propagation characteristics. (Salt water is best, iirc.) At least, I think that's true for the longer wavelengths more typically used with HAM radio. I don't know if it holds for microwave-ish frequencies like cell phones would use.

Congratulations. Don't ask this question on the internet, and if you already have, don't read the answers. Babies are unique - your experience may be wildly different. While it's true that they will be the biggest commitment in your life, it doesn't have to be for the worse. Maybe work won't be the first priority anymore, and that's Ok. If you go into this with certain expectations, you maybe quickly disappointed.
