If you insist on using old fashioned logic to reason when in a probabilistic universe where that kind of reasoning is only an approximation, you can say that the universes you are talking about don't exist. They are such a small fraction of possible universes, that you can safely 'know' you aren't in any of them without checking.
Im exhausted about people complaining about. It's a fact that targeted ads pay a lot better. This enables better services that are free to the end user. Most people just don't want to pay for things. 99% of facebook users have never paid meta a dime, yet they have the audacity to complain about a free service. There are paid social media alternatives, or even self hosted ones, but by and large they fail because certain industries can't sustain off of a end user paid model.

Ads are also a great progressive tool. Indirectly the rich pay more than the poor for the same service.

> I'm so tired of good, useful tools and services requiring a forfeit of my privacy in order to use them

You forgot free [w/ good & useful]. If the market could support paying for the services and tools instead of ads, businesses would move that way.
MHz-POP makes the most sense in cell networks, where an operator (AT&T, T-Mobile,...) wants to acquire a spectrum license in a particular region of the country. Evaluating the MHz-POP makes sense as the price they are willing to pay varies a lot depending on the population density in that region area. In general, cell networks can reuse spectrum more easily (deploy more towers, add more sectors), and they design their network deployment to hit whatever MHz/customer they are targeting (which mostly depends on the technology 3G/4G/5G).

In sat-networks, well, MHz-POP doesn't matter that much, because, generally, every operator is licensed to operate in the whole country. As you mentioned, what really matters is (a) the bandwidth of their license allocation (e.g., Globalstar is 11.5 MHz), and (b) how efficiently can they reuse spectrum:

* how many beams can they land (# satellite x # beams / satellite)?

* how much freedom do they have to chunk bandwidth and allocate it to individual beams based on demand?

* what type of satellite are they using, bent-pipe or regenerative payload?

* how big are these beams?

* can they allocate resources dynamically or is everything fixed?

* how much power does the satellite have? how big are the terminal antennas? what kind of link-budget can they close?

In the end, the MHz/customer they can achieve depends on the answer to all these questions.

> It makes it a bit hard to have serious political discourse when one of the sides is seeemingly trying to burn the house down rather than lose.

Your parent is asking for a place where there is little to no political discussion, not a place to have meaningful political discussion.

With the good old phpBB forums, they'd often dedicate one subforum for political/flamebait content, and it was allowed only in there. As a user, you simply didn't read that subforum if you didn't care for it.

Specifically, on those forums, you had to actively seek those venues to have these discussions. Today it seems you have to work to avoid these discussions.
Tough one.

Some people value hours as output, while others look at things in a project scope (I don't care how long if you charge me a fixed rate).

Two sides.

Employer side

If I'm paying someone for 38hrs a week I want to be able to have access to them during their hours that's all. If they can get the work done during this period I'm happy to not worry about hours per say.

Client Side.
We don't charge hourly for anything but retainers (20-30 hr blocks per month). All of our projects are fixed rate but focus on value pricing rather than output (hrs). This negates the BS that comes with tracking hrs and time sheets. It may not work for everyone but it works for us -- plus leaves a lot of fat in our projects.

Few amazing resources for value pricing and ditching hourly billing:

This is actually a regression. Previously, on the website you could click "Hide" next to a post, then "Hide posts from this subreddit" and occasionally another option would appear, "Hide posts from subreddits like this".

These options have disappeared, and now the "Hide" button just hides an individual post.

They're not allowing that in general any longer. I wasn't allowed to log in to their site this summer without phone text verification.

This comment is full of false equivalences. In fact, it contains only false equivalences.

What you just wrote is a decent argument against anyone taking issue with someone saying "the wiki" or even "my/our wiki" where it makes sense to. With respect to the topic at hand, however, that makes it a total strawman, because no one is taking issue with those things. Shortening "Wikipedia" to "wiki" is nothing like exercising the grammar of the English language to construct ordinary sentences involving "the bus" or "my truck".

Please don't make bad faith arguments like this. It stands out especially when it comes from someone who's first remarks were an objection to the Java/JS example on the grounds of category error.

Shortening "Wikipedia" to "wiki" would be like shortening "Burger King" to "burger".* It shouldn't be done, and it shouldn't be controversial to bring it up. It was a polite request, after all.

* or if that example bothers you, shortening "Taco Shack" to "shack", to use an example that will withstand any criticism that Burger King is not a burger, whereas Wikipedia is a wiki—which (again) doesn't even matter in this case, since we're not claiming any faux pas over the appropriate use of "a wiki" or "the wiki" or "our wiki" or "some wiki", etc.
OP's disclaimer: I started this hobby project one year ago. The point of this project was and still is to learn about new technologies. Maybe I am lacking the statistical background, or the data since it goes back only 13 months, to make such an statement but when I starting seeing these trends in the number of job posts, I thought that it would be interested to share it in the Hacker News community and get some feedback.

About whether these trends that we see in the graphs are something real or just a data issue like seasonality or a problem with the data sources, I think we will soon know from the mainstream media. As always the time will tell.

This is exactly the problem I've had with Twitter as a social platform. The network is simply too big to the point that it's strange to me that the default means of posting is to literally everyone using the platform. Smaller discord communities I've been in rarely get into flame wars as often as people on Twitter since they tend to already be a self-selected group of like-minded people. Putting people with wildly different views in front of each other and incentivizing "hot takes" via like and retweet counters is very much the opposite of a healthy social environment.

The way I think of it, there's basically three copies of the file in play: in HEAD, in staging area, and on disk. I cannot trust my memory to remember which variant of "git reset" copies the file in HEAD to the staging area, which variant copies staging area to disk, and which variant copies HEAD to disk (in all cases, the third copy remains uninvolved). Getting it wrong potentially creates unrecoverable data loss. And, unfortunately, this is one of those cases where reading git's documentation is less than helpful.

Combine this with the case where "I want to break one commit into two commits," where now I have to worry about making sure I know if the command is going to change the revision HEAD points to. At least there, the old commit will still exist as backup in the invariable scenario I screw something up.

Ask HN: With 0 management experience, how should I run my design team?
Hey all. I don't know how many designers are here, but I'm currently in a bit of a pickle and would like some advice.

I am a recent college graduate that has been trusted with running the design team at a startup. I've been hired as a full-time UX designer and am currently leading a team of three design interns. I have no real experience running a design team, and am wondering how I should best proceed in managing the team. Things have been pretty disorganized, and we recently had a meeting in which most of our time was spent in pretty unproductive disagreement. As the person who is more or less running the design team I feel totally responsible for this, and would like to know how I could best run meetings and assign tasks in order to generate lots of ideas, while making sure discussion stays productive come decision making time. I'd also appreciate any tips on how to facilitate healthy discussion when discussing differences in opinions. I'm really new to all of this and a bit out of my element, but I really want to do my best and would appreciate any advice.
Question: Wikipedia article on rectal spiders.

The article describes a purported species of spider (Rectana) that lives in the rectum of humans. Rectana are described as being between 1.5 and 2.5 mm in length, with black bodies and white legs.

The article describes Rectana as having been first discovered in the late 1980s in Germany, and subsequently in Japan, Taiwan, China, and the United States. It is stated that the spiders are found in the rectums of 30% of people. Rectana are said to live in the rectum for up to 20 years, and to cause the victim to experience "abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, and vomiting".
As cost to produce falls, it will be used in more places. Ways to store and transport energy will be among those.

LH2 is very attractive as aircraft fuel.

But I take your point: for other uses, the production efficiency counts more. Conversion to raw heat is pretty good, losing only what it takes to split the H2 and the O2, and then whatever of that heat you fail to direct to the end use, e.g. the steam that rises past the sides of your saucepan.

This seems to be a straight up bug. These two reference sizes are not the same.

Earth 6,371 km radius * 1.3 = 8,282.3 kilometers

Moon 1,737.4 km radius * 1.2 = 2,084.88 kilometers

Proxima B radius = 1.08 x Earth radius (estimate) [0] = 6,880.68 kilometers

It's supply and demand. Kids don't grow up wanting to be CRUD app developers, they grow up wanting to be game developers. This means that working conditions are notoriously bad (bad pay, terrible hours). To raise pay they need to constrict supply, to constrict supply they need to put up barriers to entry.

Actors union is a definite barrier to entry: you need to either be a notable independent actor/performer (rare), get a job on a SAG AFTRA because you have a talent that they can't find in union (rare), or show that you've worked in the field (non-union commercials/films) enough to be notable. Then you need to apply, pay $3k, pay ~$200 a year dues, and give up ~1.5% of all your contracts to the union. Then you can't take a non-union job (again restricting the talent pool).

I honestly don't see a ton of difference between the two: both establish choke points and collective bargaining in high demand fields to improve working conditions for the people that are in the union.

That explanation is factually incorrect, then. There currently is no "test" flag, nor is there the required infrastructure to check if your test alert went through:

So this "self-test" feature can't be communicating with actual satellites. No idea what it actually does, but it's definitely not an end-to-end test.
