Once upon a time, all plane transmissions were pretty much air to ground. As inconsequential as it may seem, the positioning of antennas above the plane are a bit metaphoric for flipping things up side down. Looking out into space instead of back to earth.

Also notable that SpaceX keeps finding these cool (revenue generating) use cases to further cheapen the cost of sending things up to space. Pretty much dogfooding their rockets via Starlink satellites.

Edited with correction that most inflight wifi is actually air to space now.
That's a school drop-off line, you can see children leaving the cars and entering the school at 0:27.
Ah OK, that make sense. Slirp4netns and Past both seem pretty interesting. I'm looking forward spending some time with Podman networking. Cheers.

$2795 is for 15GB data cap which is nothing.

Their unlimited local service is $10k, unlimited global service is $14k

$14k is more expensive than the cheapest $12.5k from Starlink and less expensive than $25k most expensive plan.

Except Starlink is 350 MB/s vs. 30 MB/s from ViaSat. Starlink is 5x-10x cheaper per speed.
How do you distinguish moving goalposts from the more charitable reading of "Hey, this is a novel virus and so our guidelines will have to change as we find out more"

I sure remember when the guidelines were that COVID wasn't transmissible through aerosol, only droplets. Then it was revised to include aerosol. Mask warnings also evolved from "not that effective" to "extremely effective". But isn't all of this explainable charitably without invoking suppression?

I was recently blown away when I was using WSL and accidentally launched the GUI component of an ubuntu program. A native ubuntu UI popped open, fully maneuverable over my Windows desktop environment.

That was really cool.
This is already theoretically an issue. I'm going to link to Alaska Air's FAQ[0] simply because it's the most available online who note that streaming services are OK, but they don't "allow guests to make voice or video calls". I imagine the latency would make it a poor experience _too_, but the point is that airlines know you don't want people making calls next to you.

Future Pinball – A Real Time Pinball Development System
There's two

1) I used to be an energy engineer, so I'm taking some of the most common energy saving calculations I used to do and making a python library of them. And then maybe a quick flask calculator to show the energy saving methods and how much energy they save

2) Trying to learn the basics of font making so I can make a font based on the golden ratio, mostly for personal use
Lol. Finally, someone does math.
Cool project. A fork or what? I run the full Supabase FOSS stack on my own stuff and I’m kinda curious what a new stack would offer above and beyond what Supabase already does.
Well for one thing Docker tends to keep running for a long time while the several JEE App servers I used all needed rebooting after a few deploys just to keep them running. I mean ... don't even get me started, Java app servers were a nightmare and I was so very happy when we were able to ditch ours and go back to a sane architecture.
It's a totally reasonable thing to be confused about. I was baptized at a Catholic parish as a child and I only relatively recently learned of the existence of many other rites besides the Latin one. Here[1] is an article by a canonist going into some detail. The short version is there are many churches in full communion with Rome that retain their own traditions, including married priests. Theoretically even a Latin rite priest could have the discipline of celibacy dispensed, but I've never even heard of that actually happening[2]. I wouldn't be gobsmacked if it has though.

[1] https://canonlawmadeeasy.wordpress.com/2007/09/20/are-they-r...

[2] Edit: I think it is sometimes done for laicized ("defrocked") priests, but such persons wouldn't be permitted any active priestly ministry, except for a few rare exceptions like someone in immediate danger of death asking the laicized priest to hear his confession.
It's not published yet, but one of us will post is as a Show HN" feature when it is.
Just to further your comment, according to this overview paper

they can control the MIRI focal plane array temperature to 10mK using some clever tricks with electronic components that can operate as heaters.

> "This temperature sensor performance supports controlling the temperature of the SCAs to 10 mK, peak-to-peak."
I think we rushed in the sense that this was a very accelerated vaccine program, but whether the rush was optimal (on a per age-group basis) will depend on what the data comes to show.

It's true that most people didn't really want to debate covid then, which is par-for-the-course on political issues. I think though in our post-mortem for covid the my curiosity why we got so left/right political over an illness. I'd love to have that behind us.
The sociological aspects of teaching are becoming more demanding over time, which draws teachers to private schools despite the generally lower pay.
You can actually at some stores get almost maxed out models, they have specific 'ultimate' configurations. Use the inventorywatch app to figure out whatever a store has in stock.

Like the 16" M1 Max with 64GB & 4TB SSD is the 'ultimate' retail config for that model for example.

I like the tutorials that teach you how to make your own programming language like Lisp and Haskell. I’m working on the same for Smalltalk
We went through a recent bond election on our town that is currently under investigation by the state for electioneering.

Schools get a ton of money. Property rates go up. We have good schools.

But let me tell you, every school kid got a stupid iPad.

Every. Single. One. Apparently the "answer" to the pandemic wasn't printed worksheets... it was iPads.

I'm sorry—but it's totally stupid. The schools are wasting crap-tons of money on tech that kids don't need. That money should be going to the teachers... but it isn't!
Preorders and reservations of unreleased products are for people who like to get screwed, or for people with so much money they don't care if they get screwed. I know people who preorder AAA games, the game turns out to be crap and they complain about it. "Ugh, I can't believe I preordered this crap." Then a year later they're doing it again...

"Doctor, it hurts when I poke my eye!" Uh, then stop doing that.
Can you search by tag expressions like “((1|2)&(!3))” with your method? I’m not understanding it completely. I often use json_data but I didn’t consider tagging methods because of the overhead it has.

Edit: a fatal assumption that it's the airlines providing the service underpins my original post below, whereas instead it's the providers charging passengers directly. That's an entirely different model from below, so disregard my original comment aside maybe my last line. Preserving the comment for context though.

---

At 25,000/mo, assuming a jet makes 60 trans-con segments in the US per month and a price of $20 per passenger for access on a given segment, you'd need an average of at least 20 people to pay for a full flight's worth of internet access on each segment just to clear the monthly cost, not even counting the up front investment.

And that's for a standard narrow-body passenger jet, not the G650 etc. business jets that they're targeting.

This seems like a flex, not a tool.
You are totally correct. The problem goes both ways. One camp will say there is significant disagreement on this issue therefore we need to act in a certain way. While the other side will say the scientists all agree so we have to act another way. But you have to be very specific about the claims you're make when you say scientists agree or disagree on a matter. You also cannot extrapolate even slightly when you do.

For example you have made some very specific claims about the climate change consensus. But people often simply say X% of scientists agree on climate change, without defining what they mean about climate change.

All of this is also done to support a given course of action. Those courses of action only make sense with a very specific model of climate change. Often a model that is not totally accurate or agreed upon. Then they often incorrectly quote the scientist. Such as Al Gore's famous prediction “Some of the models suggest to Dr Maslowski that there is a 75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap during some of the summer months could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.” When Dr Maslawski was not predicting anything as dramatic. In the other camp you have appeals to Freeman Dyson. But he does agree that man has altered the climate. He simply doesn't think drastic action is required, and that we will be able to counter its impact. Not surprising from the guy that came up with the ideas to harvest the entire energy output of the sun.

The details matter and the appeal to authority that all the scientists agree with me is not as good as an argument on the facts.
At least for me, my brain distinguishes between the two situations.

If two people are sitting next to each talking I have the ability to easily tune them out. If one person is talking to a phone I can't. There's a study about it here: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

"one-sided conversations still impacted participants’ self-reported distractibility and memory, thus showing people are more attentive to cell phone conversations than two-sided conversations"
God, "finally" was exactly my response. I can't believe how bad Github's ACLs and permissions are. This is much needed, our PATs are one of our most significant risks so we have jobs to audit them etc but... I just don't want them to be god mode just so that we can have scripts create repositories.
Chrome uses a very light gray with a medium-light gray for the tab bar. It's noticeably more contrast than Firefox's light theme.
If additional education, in general, made teachers significantly more effective, it should be fairly easy to measure that outcome. But, it seems many people have tried, and continue to try, but have failed to reach much of a consensus [1]. Just reading through a few of the first search results, some find negative effects, some positive, but nothing particularly significant afaict.

Personally, I liked teachers that were enthusiastic about their subject matter more than anything else. Learning how to teach must be important, but someone that has enthusiasm and a skillset could surely pick that up as they go.

honestly english class is mostly a waste of time. idk about everyone i know who is very good with the language picked it up from extensive reading starting at an early age, not from cramming in book reports. i completely agree with focusing more on those things just i think the general reading level of American kids going into high school is way too low. there is literally 0 reason why someone entering 6th grade shouldn't be able to read literally any english language text and comprehend it.

and yeah history in public schools sucks. 100 years ago it was taught with a bit more of the "great man" emphasis, now it's a lot about social forces, the experience of the average person at the time. social forces are an important part of history but i have looked at old curricula vs new ones and they are so much more interesting. regardless, history should be taught by lecture paired with reading other info from the time (primary sources, more detailed descriptions of things mentioned etc) not by the godforsaken mess of a subject it is now.
Can you elaborate on why some comments won't be made if people watched the video rather than read the transcript?

I certainly agree with your second point that some people prefer reading transcripts to watching videos. I used to be one of them until a year ago!
120k/yr seems like it'd be more than teachers make almost anywhere. $10k/kid seems closer to average.

You could also get access to a larger pool of potential teachers (with STEM backgrounds even!): I don't think I'd ever consider teaching public school for any pay level at this point, but I could see myself teaching some of my neighbors' kids with mine in a few years for cheap/free if there were interest.
Sorry, I meant data transfer+charging at the same time.

Spot the paranoid or the gullible is a lot easier since Defcon isn't remotely on the radar of any federal agency, and the notion was only invented to increase interest and credibility. You seriously believe FBI Special Agents would attend Defcon? They have jobs.

edit: the 2015 FOIA request proved this. An FBI researcher pulled info off the web in 2001, no agents contacted the Vegas field office (which means no agents attended), the Vegas field office requested the case be closed, and it was. Read to me like someone in DC was playing a joke on the Vegas field office.
Seems like offering a $25,000/mo aviation service (which could be at almost any latitude) might be pretty risky, in that case. For $25,000/mo, customers are going to expect connectivity.

Read “Setting Limits” by Robert Mackenzie if you still have problems with “no” and tantrums. I’ve read 10 parenting books and this is hands-down the best.
This looks pretty cool.

If I may ask a stupid question (to anyone that knows). I think the biggest thing at least for the companies I've worked with and my teams in especially, is screen sharing.

What's the barrier to entry there? Is it possible to do something like peer to peer? Or are the server costs just heavy? Is it a hard problem to solve? I couldn't find any really free screen sharing besides discord, microsoft and google (tbh, I didn't look really hard tho).
> 90% of PMs I've worked with paid lip service to "unblocking" you, but at best would function as an email relay.

Too true. And it’s even worse on the receiving end, because all too often this “unblocking” is basically just adding an @-mention to you in Slack with zero context (hope you enjoy reading a 200-message slack thread trying to understand the context!) or just adding you as a CC to an already extremely long email thread (again with no summary of what’s being asked, hope you enjoy reading 100 levels of indented quotes figuring wtf it is they even want.)

All this ends up amplifying confusion… a problem can go from 99% solved and only needing a question from another team, to several meetings where everyone’s confused, all because of miscommunication that is made worse by the very PM’s that are supposed to be helping the matter.

If you can’t tell, I’ve never met or had a good PM in my life. Not one.

iPhone 7 with its 3D Touch had the best cursor scroll tbh. You hard press your thumb anywhere on the keyboard and use it like a mousepad to scroll around. I’m still mad that we don’t have that anymore.
It probably depends on how high other salaries are in the community. My parents were both teachers and even though they made very little, teachers were perceived as having some of the highest salaries in the area. This shows you how impoverished the rest of the community was. Paying them more was not popular with voters. "They make so much and they even get summers off" went the myth. This was a solidly blue collar working class town where kids were expected to barely graduate high school and then go work at the mill in town or the factory two towns over. Not sure if things have changed since then but they're probably even worse with those mill and factory jobs now gone. Teachers' awful salaries are probably still higher than most there, which is pretty sad.
I wish. Stern Pinball has been doing this too (accepting deposits and then raising the price before delivery).
Hey!

Thank you for the extremely thoughtful answer. You hit everything right in the head!

I don't mind coding but I like you might've surmised from my post, I don't feel that capable. Frontend js and doing stuff in the browser that isn't just plain html and css, goes mostly over my head.

Stuff on the server end is a bit easier to grok for me, as long as I can find semi-relevant examples to base my working on :)

I did look at most of the services you mentioned. Obviously, the hardest part is going to be estimating usage. Do I want to pay per video minute, gigabyte or simply by the number of videos?

I did test out Cloudflare Stream and it's almost perfect and the pricing is obviously very attractive. The only thing missing was any ability to sort and manage the videos uploaded unless I work over the API.

I did find Bunny.net which seems like an even better alternative with a lot of more nice-to-haves compared to Cloudflare so I think I'm mostly sorted on that end.

Thank you for your offer. I just might take you up on it when the need inevitably rises :)

Why ban smoking on the plane when you can just breathe through a mask and deal with it ?

Earplugs, noise cancelling headphones etc are imperfect just like masks are.
Just want to say the idea of joining a game at 20ms and ending it at 80ms because you've traveled thousands of kilometres is highly amusing to me.
I would argue because no charity was given to opinions contrary to what Dr. Fauci and the NIH declaired as truth. Perhaps most infamous is Dr. Collins asking for a takedown of the Great Berington declaration. The fact that so little was certain early on about COVID should have been a reason to allow physicians and scientists to discuss and debate policy without fear of having their careers destroyed. Now that we are further out from the pandemic cooler heads will prevail but I fear the damage to the reputation of the health authorities in the US will take a long time to recover.

I know many Canadians (including family) who've gotten theirs. That's not the issue in this case.
My neighbor across the street is a Catholic priest and the pastor at a local Catholic parish. He was married and ordained as a priest in the Episcopal church, then he and his wife had several children. His whole family later converted to the Catholic Faith; he was given the options of being ordained as a priest in the Catholic Church or finding a new path in life as a layman, and chose the former. He and his wife had several more children since then: lovely family, very much "actual Catholicism".
I'll check this out, thx. I think this project was created just to see what hand coding a lexxer and parser would be like. You know... just for fun. I want to go back afterwards and re-implement it with (f)lex and bison. Probably a good excuse to learn antler as well. I'll check out the tree notation stuff too.
Hmm, i guess I dont see it. I really dont find much difference between any of the top competitors.
Famous 'Star Wars' Poster Was Created in Just 36 Hours
There's something weird going on because it seems to get worse over time, but if you do "Reset Keyboard Dictionary" then it magically gets better again, for a few weeks or so, before getting worse again.

I have no idea what's going on.
>Why is it unfortunate?

Because it's a strictly zero-sum situation. Removing one teacher from public teaching in favor of teaching 5 kids privately means those 15 other kids still in public school need to find another teacher. Since there's already a shortage of teachers, it seems unfortunate that the "smart move" on the individual level is to exacerbate the collective issue even more.

It might be great for your kid, sure, but overall it's pretty unfortunate.
This was an interesting read, with a more nuanced take on the issue than how the title puts it.

I agree with the takeaway (last two small paragraphs), and also think it's funny how putting things in different perspectives matter a lot.

We should really be skeptical of any idea that touts itself of being the most important thing to care about: if it really is, it probably was obvious already and that advice wasn't needed in the first place. If the idea appeared like a revelation, the reality is probably more nuanced and truth of that ideology strongly depends on the circumstances you're in.
> For example, posts that contain both #jenniferlawrence and #hoodedeyes would be what you are looking for

I mean, not to overwork it, but in this example, this isn't accurate: I just want pictures of Jennifer Lawrence, not the much smaller slice of content where the poster had her particular eye shape in mind. Also, I don't want to only "end up seeing" pictures of Jennifer Lawrence in my main feed, I want to be able to go find them when I want them. Instagram's ontology is designed to not make this possible, because everything about it is meant to facilitate tube-feeding, and that is why I feel so strongly that it is trash.

(We could also talk about how similar phenomena manifested elsewhere: the #goth tag on Tumblr in my Tumblr days was unusable because of the quantity of non-goths looking at a lowkey photo and deciding that was the best descriptor – so the actual #goth content was found in .... #gothgoth. And if you're wondering if this was discovered and subsequently chased out to #gothgothgoth, You Have Understood The Problem)
dead program to me is a program without TDD
There are two indicators, one simply how close it was to a virus lab doing similar studies, and two how immediately and blindly people denied that they could be any connection.

They'd have had to investigate before making a claim, and had not, so obviously they're lying.

A concerted conspiracy to deny an option is some evidence for that option being true.

I don't claim it did come from a lab, but that anyone stating categorically that it did not is lying.
You created a bunch of them?(!)
