the one thing i think I figure out, is that you right click and set a home, and that will give you real time triangulation as to how many satellites your signal is bouncing off as they move in orbit at any given time.

The more satellites linked to your home base, the better your latency and/or bandwidth. So with this you can see your location's service quality ahead of time.

Italian city states produced some of the best art and philosophy in history. They produced many other things of high craftsman ship that were valued way outside of Italy. I didn't just capitalize on historic cultural prestige.

I feel like most SBC servers should have ARM or RISC-V CPUs these days. x86' primary advantage right now is proprietary graphics hardware, of which a server ought to have none. I'm not implying this isn't an issue on SBCs also, just that x86 probably isn't particularly advantageous for SBC servers.

This would be cool if it had new Intel ARC graphics that could encode av1 (av1 live server for everyone coooool! wow could be super next-gen!), but unfortunately it doesn't have that, just old intel integrated graphics. Bummer. Probably sticking with Odroid stuff like mech422 said.

I recently found out, I'f we do "reduce decimal digits" in excel, it's only done on view, not on actual cell data.

What happened was, I was preparing a draft balance sheet, it had cells which were long decimals so we set it to 2 decimals. The balance l=h matched but if we manually took the figures, there was founding error, like 1-3 bucks. Took me days to figure out.

How would that work exactly?

The FDIC Fund has to know how much cash to keep on hand to cover total insured deposits. The minimum is something like 1.35% of all insured deposits if I'm not mistaken, which they have actually been under for a while now. If all deposits are covered 100% the find would have to be dramatically larger, do they just take AL of that from the banks immediately?

My grandmother has dementia. About twice a day, she calls my parents every 5 minutes, forgetting that she just hung up. The calls are always the same: "You live there now. Yes you have money. We came to visit you yesterday." This can go on for an hour or so.

My parents are incredibly patient, but after a couple of these calls, they'll just leave the phone to ring. The soundtrack of the phone constantly ringing in the house, and the guilt associated with not picking up, is unbearable.

My brother and I built a system where her calls get re-routed to a rotation of relatives to answer her calls, to spread the load. After a call with her, each person gets a 2 hour break (customizable). If no one is available to answer, or if everyone is on break, she gets a voicemail that my dad recorded that explains that we love her, that she lives there, all the usual stuff.

It's working beautifully.

> Spam is killing independent email. gmail is fairly good at blocking it, is easy enough to get into, so it's been winning for years.

> I used to run independent email. It took constant work to get close to gmail's level of spam blocking.

This is very contrary to my experience on both fronts.

gmail spam filtering is mediocre. Spam gets through and good emails are flagged as spam. It's not very good.

For my own domain where I self-host my email, my spam filtering is quite a bit better. Approximately nothing is ever mis-flagged as spam (has not happened in years) and the spam that gets through is a tiny fraction of what my gmail address gets. So for me my own spam filtering is much better than gmail.

And no, it doesn't take constant work. In fact doesn't take any work at all. I set it up years ago, the bayesian filtering goes through all the mail but it takes zero effort from me.

I wish this myth that gmail has some incredible filtering technology that nobody can replicate would just die already. Gmail isn't terrible at spam/ham filtering, but it's not that good either, just mediocre. You can do much better with minimal resources on your own.
I don't see them leaving all of it. I do see them leaving enough to have collateral for a loan that they can live off for a long time. Heck, just the rate that is common for bump CDs right now is not too shabby and makes me regret not setting up a savings ladder sooner.

That said, your point about better performing assets is why I don't think they care about inflation, as my response to the other thread said. I also agree that the banks should be putting them to good use. Sadly, we have active evidence that the banks are not too good at that. They seem to think it means either credit cards for the masses (which, yes, pays well for the bank), or convincing everyone to refinance their homes. Neither of which feels that good to me.

Tech stocks have screwed this up by fucking up the idea of profit versus non-profit companies. Not paying out dividends to shareholders has made that a near meaningless distinction and made it so that living off changes in the market is all folks can do. That is, you cannot own stock in a company to get residuals while they make the world better for you.

So, to that end, how do you think the banks should be putting that money to work?

Geostationary orbit wouldn't work for a GNSS: all satellites would be in the same plane, so it would be impossible to distinguish between the northern and southern hemisphere. This would render it inconvenient in most countries and unusable anywhere near the equator.
I'm sure there are many more practical uses, but it's great for automating mobile games.
The alternative system doesn't have uninsured depositors at all. Arguably this could be better for the multitude of banks. It's mostly worse for the businesses offering sweep services for a fee / net interest margin.

I'm guessing some of the issues are just from Google being random about what it considers spam no matter who it comes from. I remember a comment on a somewhat recent thread from someone who had to move their business mail away from Gmail because Gmail would classify mail from one paid account at their organization to another under the same organization as spam.

The entire invasion by Russia in 2014 was in violation of the Budapest memorandum in the first place.

More have been killed by the Russians by a large margin in this one year since the war started than had been killed during the entire 2014-2021 war in Donbas. Where are your tears for them?.

> there are no good guys here.

Between the country defending its existence and its people from extinction being perpetuated by a force that indiscriminately targets civilians with precision weapons and sexual violence, and the invading force thats trying to perpetuate a war of conquest.

There is a clear good side and bad side. There is the clearest war in a long time, it is like trying to both sides WW2.

All compliance work is fundamentally based on juris prudence, and I’m skeptical that any automated process could replace a human’s judgement when it comes to the interpretation of novel ideas required to do that job. I’m sure it could help make the work more efficient, but any fully automated process will either not accomplish the goals of the compliance regime, or will make compliance far more onerous than it needs to be, or a mixture of both.

To be clear, Scandinavia doesn’t have “more relaxed social norms.” It’s actually an extremely norm-driven society. It’s just that this one particular norm common to abrahamic religions has declined sharply.

I think that’s the same reason birth rates have dropped so sharply in east Asia. Their religious tradition doesn’t place the same value on having children as a moral imperative. In fact the opposite is true: an entire generation of Asians was socialized by the west into a mindset that population reduction is the way to prosperity. (My dad is an expert in this field that did that work.)

Industrialization explains it in part—you don’t need as many kids when less of the population is engaged in farming. But many western countries had a TFR over 3 in the mid 20th century, a time when we had supersonic airplanes already. The US had a replacement TFR as recently as 2008, prior to a sharp drop in religiosity over the last decade. The point is that norms can, among their many other powers, can maintain sustainable population replacement even within an industrialized society.
The ones really close together are freshly launched and still being moved into their final position.

However, all satellites are by design placed into a small number of orbits, see [0]. For example, phase 1 consisted of 72 different orbits with 22 sats each, so each sat would be 1/22th of an orbit behind the previous one - and the orbits are shifted in a similar fashion around the earth. This ensures that there is a uniform global coverage, as a new sat will move over an area right when another one moves out.

> CloudFlare is a fire department that prides itself on putting out fires at any house regardless of the individual that lives there, what they forget to mention is they are actively lighting these fires and making money by putting them out!

This doesn’t seem like a fair analogy. When I read the quote I expected to dig into the article and find that Cloudflare was somehow intentionally optimizing their network for carrying out DDoS attacks against non-customers in some sort of shady under the table dealings.

In this case the fire department is not lighting fires. They are not committing arson. They are saving all houses including the houses of arsonists.

It doesn’t seem like this kid used Cloudflare to carry out DDoS attacks (burn down houses). It seems like they used Cloudflare to keep their own house from burning down and then went and committed arson on their own.

Ask HN: What UI/UX trends do you find most baffling and annoying?
There are two things that almost every website does that just drive me nuts, and I don’t understand the reasoning that would lead to these designs.

1) Login link for existing users is tiny and hidden

Why?!? I get it, you want new users, but your existing users need to log in too!

2) auto play of video previews.

Netflix, YouTube, Etc… they all do it. I don’t want the movie to start because I clicked to read the full description, or worse on the main screen just because I stop navigating for a second to read the blurb. I don’t want videos in my suggested feed on YouTube to play silently and then start 20 or 30 seconds into the video once I do click them. Does ANYBODY find these useful? Why are they the default behaviors? Who do they benefit? Don’t they just end up costing unnecessary bandwidth? I know that I can usually turn them off, but having to search for the setting is frustrating.

…and don’t even get me started on form validators that are overly strict when they could just strip the unwanted delimiters or white space themselves, or password fields that cannot be pasted, or password rules that make it impossible to generate a random password.

Doing groceries for a family is an ordeal in a city with only public transport. Bicycles are useless for family groceries no matter having baskets and racks and there are no baskets and racks on city owned bikes. Cities with cold winters are even worse. Also terrible going to work in rainy weather or high winds. Bus routes go by their time and not yours and can add hours to your work week plus you have to be early in case they are and stand out in the elements while waiting.
Is this advice actually helpful? I feel like if I were considering a start-up I’d still have just as many questions after reading what amounts to, “If you want to be great, you need to … be great.”
A few things:

Disincentivize property investments in family homes.

Return R&D tax credits.

Return so a semblance of the glass & steagall act.

Up the amount of coverage the FDIC is authorized to cover even before regulators need to take over.

Allow an upfront loan privately for banks to lend against temporarily with stock put as collateral.

Up the corporate tax rate.

Remove the cap on SALT taxes for those under 400k.

Change marginal tax rates for individuals.

There insane amount of things congress can do if they just… do it.
Cultures of course vary in the particular norms they enforce. Many East Asian countries don’t have strong social norms in favor of procreation despite otherwise being strongly norm oriented. But of course a society that isn’t strongly norm oriented loses the ability to enforce that norm as well as other socially desirable behaviors.

COVID is another example. The breakdown of norm-oriented behavior has been especially acute where the counter-culture of the 1970s collided with deindustrialization. The fallout was mitigated in certain blue areas by high levels of education. But I’m much of the country it ended up destroying the framework of norms that helped mediocre and not especially educated people make good decisions.

Bank depositors should have a choice depending on their risk tolerance. There should be fully insured accounts which charge a fee to safely hold your money. And there should be uninsured accounts which pay interest. But the notion of earning interest on insured accounts is essentially financial alchemy: it appears to create something from nothing and ends to causing serious moral hazards.

>>> Police officers' risk of on-the-job death in most years averages #14 .. #18, behind logging, fishing, farming, construction, heavy manufacturing, trucking

The difference is that everyone who works on those jobs has roughly the same risk. A cop who has to respond to a disturbance in a bad area is fat more at risk than someone in the crime lab or the evidence room. If you look at the risk of injury to cops who are out on patrol all day, it's more dangerous.
