I'm pretty sure there's already FCC rules requiring deorbit of satellites within a certain number of years of their mission completion.

I've been managing a team at Google for like six years now. I'm doing GRAD ratings literally today (spending too much time avoiding it on HN). I have not been told of an expected PIP rate either explicitly or through innuendo. In fact, I have never PIPed a single report in my entire time here and I've never even got a whiff of people being concerned about that.
> Would be excellent EVs. They have super low millage and you'd not have to worry about things like stagnant fuel.

There is no "/s" so it is hard to tell if you are being sarcastic or not. Assuming you are not... EV's make TERRIBLE fire trucks.

How long does it take to fuel a fire truck? How long to recharge one?

You are blissfully unaware of how fire trucks work. Many are also diesel pumps, they arrive at fires and the truck itself is a massive water pump. Tell us, how many hours can a EV drive the water pump for? The diesel version can probably run for several days if needed.

My brother is a firefighter, they are AFRAID of electric vehicle fires because well.. Something about electricity + water?

If i call 911, i expect a fire truck to arrive, not some BS about how they had a power failure and their rechargeable truck isn't working.

PS - Stagnant fuel isn't a real thing. Fire trucks are generally very well maintained, they are expensive, they are essential life saving machines. They don't just sit somewhere forgotten and have their fuel go "bad".

They are driven almost daily because firefighters are expected to know their area and so they drive around to see where hydrants are, look at new subdivisions and sometimes simply to make sure it runs property.

They also have detailed logbooks and are inspected a LOT.

>Generators are a thing that pretty much every one of these services will have. Because you can't have a fire station, EMT dispatch, etc go dark because of a grid down situation.

> And, consider this when thinking of a "grid down" situation. How do you pump fuel if the grid is down?

First.. Fire stations use batteries then generators.

Second, you point out they have generators.. wouldn't that be used to transfer fuel answering your own question?
It highly depends on your country, some banks offer that as a service (most do in France where I live) in EU a lot of online banks do too (Revolut, Lydia, N26, etc) I don't know in the US, I think privacy.com does but I have no recommendation.
The WASM version does seem considerably more snappy to me.
But VS Code is already JavaScript, running it in a WASM-based JS interpreter instead of a native JS interpreter would just slow things down.
At my previous job, I wrote a simple bpftrace script [1] to track Python2 invocations. The output of this program was sent to a message bus and eventually stored in a columnar database for exploration.

While Python2 got removed from the base operating system image, we wanted to uncover weird edge cases of engineers running special builds. We found more than one :)

I think BPF is underused for safe deprecations. It's super useful to prove that an executable is not loaded, or that a method is not called while being traced :)

The child in me is excited, but the adult in me is skeptical of the stairs mode. Unless there's some very obvious physical signal that the skates are in stairs mode, I can see some people injuring themselves trying to mimic the stairs demo because the skates weren't actually in stairs mode.
Why is it scary? There is an option to opt out, but marketing and networking are two of the main reasons people join YC in the first place. No founder is saying no to this.

Now when you say json logging, are there any common patterns you can guide me to look at? Just looking around for JSON logging gives me results like [1] which talk about JSONL (object per line, presumably JSON serializer makes sure to not emit literal newlines).

But some other places describe this a bit more liberally. And [2] notes that I should include a time stamp in each log entry which makes sense.

Personal integrity. If you have it, you are valuable. If you do not any value you have is short lived.

Cuts both ways. Does Amazon have the integrity to not expect the violation of your agreement with NF?

Life is simpler with honesty
If HR is the person you are interacting with the most, something is deeply fucked.

I interact with HR only during the reviews, and periodically to ask for clarification about a benefit or to update my address or something.
Yeah, these feel like the things you read about when you read about the history of some other accepted and much used piece of technology. Some useful things are born of ambitious monstrosities.
I saw a 5 mile range listed elsewhere; not sure if that's at top-speed though.
Nah. I don’t think you understand consciousness. You claim there’s no connection but you couldn’t describe how consciousness works let alone how the models work. Don’t put words in my mouth, I never talked about the architecture.

There is no throughline from software 20 years ago because software was written deliberately then. All the experts said we wouldn’t be anywhere near where we are today by today because of this. If you can’t see the paradigm has shifted then you are simply wrong.

Proof should be required to continue forward. We shouldn’t need proof to do what’s safer. Especially when the consequences are so extreme.
If I am recalling correctly the turbo button was a workaround for software that had problems running at the high speeds. But I may be mistaken.
I would say almost all religions are false. That's because if you have N different religions that claim different and incompatible things, at least N-1 of them must be wrong.
Good points, but careful of the logic; yes there's a lot of energy being produced and plenty of harmonics etc. None of which says that every material heats equally well, with no passthrough, or that microwave ovens with different frequencies wouldn't be more efficient for other specific materials.

If a material is dense enough (metal being the prime example) it'll block. I've nowhere argued that you could send microwave power through solid walls - whether brick or sapphire economically.
What do people use these days? I just had a check and I cannot really find anything anymore. Nothing but the most popular stuff. Which I actually can get legally easily usually.
The idea that you can contact a phone number without any idea how much it will cost in 2023 is crazy.

At the least, there should be a list of phone numbers known to not result in surprise charges so you can block all others.
yt-dlp w/ the -x flag for audio. I have a scraper script that tracks my favorite channels on some Invidious (YT proxy, easier to scrape) site and automatically generates the yt-dlp download link to fetch them all. Then I copy them over onto my phone. You could automate that part, too, but honestly it's just a single command so whatever. I listen on the phone using the mpv player there, or mpv when I'm on the computer. When I'm done with a file, I delete it.

There are already a lot of changes going on in the newer generations in the West - a lot of switching back to more conservative behavior (and expectations), a lot less sex, a lot less social media, etc.

Adults are clearly not feeling great right now, and many kids have unmet needs, so their kids are reacting to it by having different preferences.

Sure but they cover those aspects too. It may in fact be due to eating more processed food but only as a function of that introducing more contaminants into your body.
> RORSAT, Radar Ocean Reconnaissance

Radar was the only thing that came to my mind, too. (Didn't know about the project, though. Thanks!)

Problem is earth observation, as a market, sucks. With low-latency optical imaging en route, I'm not sure what premium radar would command.

> don't think powering a satellite from the ground makes much sense

Microwave power transmission through atmosphere is terrible, and we're nowhere close with laser. The idea would be large arrays in a high orbit beaming to lower-orbit birds. That's the only proximate case where space-based solar power makes sense: space to space. The only place where having the panels where you need power doesn't make sense is in the atmosphere. I just can't think of anything you'd want to do there that requires that much power.
How long should we wait before recycling a term/phrase? There are many words people have never heard today that were common even in the 80s. Which is far more recent than the 40s.

Good question, but I think this breaks as well. It would be interesting to have a freewheel mechanism roller skates though. I think some hand-operated breaks would be a good addition too (or maybe some mechanical timer that breaks when you're not doing a walking motion anymore)

Going based on AMD's first generation V-Cache (TSMC 7nm), you could get 1GB of SRAM onto a die slightly larger than a top of the line NVIDIA GPU. 2GB would be too large to fab as a single die. Or you could spend several million to get a Cerebras Wafer Scale Engine 2 with 40GB of SRAM in aggregate and a ton of AI compute power all on one wafer.
I'm surprised/confused: Why is it hard to detect premium rate numbers, or at least set a flag to not allow sending to them? Like, I can't think of a time when twillo should ever be sending to a premium rate number; why is this even possible?

Is it really scripting or just feeding the code into the swift cli which then compiles it? I recall writing Swift scripts also, and when feeding it into the swift cli, there was some time delay that was comparable to compiling the program. Whereas something like Python or JS is nearly instant when running a script, the swift cli would take some type before the computation would happen.
I really get a kick out of this thinking, because there's literally no alternative from the employer's point of view. If you want to hire someone to do a job, you have to teach them how to do the job.

To impose punitive measures after-the-fact because someone taught you how to do a job that they needed you to do seems hilarious even on the face of it.

To be clear, saying "You're not allowed to use our IP or our machinery or our supplies" is totally reasonable; if I quit Starbucks, then of course I won't have Starbucks machines or merch. To say that you're not allowed to do something because they happened to be the ones to train you seems just silly.

I get very strong middle-school vibes, where you introduce your friend-from-another-school to your group, then get mad when they become better friends with someone else than they are with you.
When you want to grow revenue at all costs, reducing/preventing fraud isn't a priority.

E.g. why don't they have KYC controls during account opening? Because it would reduce the # of people who open an account.
You'd think they'd have an option simply not to let you connect to those toll numbers at all.
@dang, I think that https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/kerbal-space-program would be a better link for this
There’s no way to set up an account such that it isn’t permitted to text premium numbers? Throttling to prevent the same number being messaged more than a certain number of times in a given window? Or throttling to prevent charges accumulating faster than a set rate?
hmmmm interesting. clickhouse becoming duckdb while duckdb becoming clickhouse.
I'm very fascinated by the idea that part of the issue with ultra-processed foods is that the calories are more bioavailable due to the lack of fiber and protein.
> snag a Boosted Board

Boosted went out of business in 2020.

It's funny how many times I've seen a "revolutionary" transport product released in the tech word with the exact same set up and experience: I see a hyped up marketing video from the company, then look on for the inevitable wired video article trying the product out (that is clearly also mostly PR). All without seeing the price.

Each time I think "hmm... I'd spend 250-500 to try that out if people like it" only to find out that the true price is close to an order of magnitude more than what my initial estimate.

It was the same with Boosted as it is with these and the many other similar products I've completely forgotten about.
> like, really, viscerally, incredibly, disgustingly, way way worse than anything I have ever seen on the internet

> in Japan, that kind of stuff seems, if not totally normal, at least acceptable enough to be included in stores along with other regular manga.

This part gets me puzzled often. It seems the problem is child part than porn part, and as a Japanese I don't see that much child content(obviously ignoring defenses like "500-year-old loli" or "blurring makes it not porn"), especially in the low ranges that attract offenders I read about on news. What seems to be the case to me, is that Western gut feeling massively under-report ages for Japanese and/or anime faces, or has a threshold point for adults set decades too high.

With a hypothetical that such guessing error exists, Q2 leads to another question: "Assuming there are some visual representations that are universally immoral across societies, should certain groups of people who visually appear immoral by certain cultural norms, be regulated by which standards and why" - it sounds extreme(it is), but I have seen this "visually immoral" class of people and drawings on the internet, and that is kind of a legitimate human rights issue that a class by appearance exists; it's no different from debating whether to tolerate blacks and their pictures.
>In essence, HR is the buffer between humans and systems

Hmm I very much see the people (including HR) and all the dynamics they entail as part of the overall system.
Well relatively speaking your lifestyle isn't likely going to change dramatically between those two incomes. In the US the difference is several hundred percent.
Mom! I need $50 my rollerskate shoes subscription expired! Now I can't walk anywhere fast!
Absolutely. We must be very, very cautious as a society when automating anything that can violate civil rights and individual liberties. The government must pass a very high bar indeed for that kind of thing.
1) I'd say to first be very crystal clear if they're actually objectively lying. The person might have 100% told accurate (albeit weaselly worded) statements about their contributions, but an HR person doing a background check or relaying questions through the grapevine is just making assumptions and putting things in their own words.

2) Even if caught exaggerating a bit, I'd say to have a bit of sympathy for job seekers/contractors doing a bit of exaggerating. For a long time now, shitty companies out there have been inflating their job requirements either hoping to find some unicorn that can do the job of 10 people for the salary of .5 employees or using their inability to find a unicorn to apply for some tailor crafted H1Bs. Exaggerating your experience a bit to bypass this cancerous behavior is IMO perfectly justified.

3) The only thing that really matters in the end...do they know their shit and can they do the work?
I assume that what you're trying to say is that it's almost impossible to get funding in fundamental physics outside of string theory, which at least might be true. There are lots of people with funding in theoretical (or at least computational) physics who aren't doing quantum mechanics, like nearly all of astrophysics, much of acoustics and fluid dynamics, nonlinear dynamics, etc.
The choice to port to RN wasn't technical at all. Tobi (the CEO) prefers RN philosophically. No technical argument opposed to RN--which is super easy to come up with, along several axes--would have stopped the port. It was inevitable.
This is my opinion, as I watched it unfold. I'm no longer at Shopify.

Yeah, this seems like something that is cheap and low-tech that does close to the same thing. And a wheel in the heel allows for more control for the wearer with fewer things that can go wrong.

How much pay is given for this?
This doesn't really give the desired effect unless the payout amount is guaranteed to be a substantial portion of salary. If a company can just pay $1/year for a non-compete then it is as good as nothing. In theory an employee can negotiate their contract but in practice it is much harder to do this since it involves lawyers and the power balance of the relationship is fundamentally unequal. Having a blanket ban on non-competes or requiring a significant percentage of compensation is needed to make this work.
It's like Twitter but longer-form.

Should developers be investing time into learning D?
That'll still hurt you because entitled employers will want to know why you didn't just take another job and will worry that if you sign their non-compete, they might have to pay out your salary + benefits for a year or more when you decide to leave.
