> if LEO gets too crowded, the orbits may ossify and become finite real estate trading on the market

Increased orbital precision manufactures more space. And unlike spectrum, LEO is a volume. We're far from LEO getting full, though I agree there is need for an international allocation framework. (It would require bilateral talks between the U.S. and China, and so seems unlikely for the near term.)

I'd look at what they've done with the Minecraft IP since buying it - main game gets no love, infrequent updates, etc., whilst they churn out side-projects like Dungeons and load up Bedrock with monetisation. For sure, it's not "worse" but it's a million miles away from what should have been under good ownership.

Obviously there's a lot going on here, but one major factor is going to be discounting future earnings. Lower inflation means lower interest rates which means that the present value of future money is higher.

So, in other words, growth is more valuable when rates are expected to be lower.
There's a major chicken and egg problem here—is math hard and therefore it has to justify itself, or is it hard because people don't think it's relevant and so they care less to try?

Development Challenges in Solana’s Ecosystem

Sorry, I haven't watched the film, but it's interesting to see how much of an impact it had on people in the uk. Looking at it from a geopolitical point of view at the time USSR was (economically) at the brink. They were failing in Afghanistan _hard_. Countries like Poland were harder and harder to control. The only option for USSR to survive was to convince the West they _will_ nuke everyone if they go down. In this context I'm very interested if we ever find out exact circumstances that led to the decision to air this film at 9.30pm on Sunday and not in a late night slot mid-week it would seem more appropriate for. Also, how did the BBC choose to make this particular production etc. Call me paranoid, but I don't think it's a far off stretch of imagination to assume it didn't "happen by itself". I wonder, had a majority of Americans watch films like that before they voted Ronald Regan in for a second term, would they vote for him?
really neither. Hollywood likes to portray these dog-eat-dog lone ranger scenarios, but the reality is people band together.

A good many major cities would be decimated, but even just an hours drive away you'd be mostly fine, at least after a week or two when the fallout has fallen out.

I don't mean to downplay an all-out nuclear exchange as no big deal, obviously it would be an even worse disaster than ww2 etc, but it wouldn't end civilization let alone all life.
Most jobs wear people out. The only thing different about software is the absurd paychecks and the burnout typically happens in a comfy air-conditioned office instead of on a roof in the hot midday sun.

I don't think software engineering jobs are special when it comes to burnout. I think it's just software engineers think themselves special, and few lack the reference point of another job to realize how prevalent burnout is.

At the end of the day, pretty much all jobs suck and will have you feeling worn out at one point or another. Some days are worse than others.

The solution is simple: carry on. What else can you do? The grass is always greener. You could get another job, go through a honeymoon phase, but then almost certainly end up just as miserable as you are at your software job. Except in the new job, you'll be making a lot less money. No more six figures for tapping on a keyboard in an air-conditioned room.

You don't know how good you have it. You want to experience a different flavor of burnout? Go do roofing and fall off a ladder for one tenth what your current pay is. That's burnout.
Well even the top guys have bias so you have to choose who you like to follow but personally on Ukraine I like @general_ben who was Commanding General of the US Army Europe and also Mike Martin @ThreshedThought who wasn't a general but was an officer fighting in Afghanistan and has a PhD in War Studies, teaches at Kings London and written various books.

There are also a bunch of scientist on twitter. Personally I followed the lab leak stuff and pro lab leak you have @R_H_Ebright Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers and anti you have @MichaelWorobey, Professor and Head of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. Both pretty outspoken, especially Ebright. I guess they have tenure.

It's sometimes interesting to follow both sides a bit when there's an argument going on.
What is the role of stimulus during the growth phase of organoids?

Meaning: is it sufficient to grow an organoid and then connect it to the electrodes and go through the training process, or is there an advantage to growing the organoids _while_ connected to stimuli?

Naively, it seems like our brains are growing while receiving input and that could guide the growth process.

I think this is a good way to demonize a person for displaying proud ignorance of a topic but is probably inaccurate. Just as I simply do not care about celebrity news (rather than actively despise its existence), I’m sure many people simply do not care about many of the things I enjoy. I don’t begrudge them that. We all have a limited time on earth, and we spend that time on things we enjoy. Most of us probably can’t even explain _why_ we like the things we do, but part of enjoying what we do means not over analyzing it, and rather just giving ourselves to it. I think this applies universally to interests.
Double-frees are prevented by Vale's single ownership (in the C++ sense), generational references make it so use-after-frees are safely detected. If we try to access released memory via a reference, we should predictably+safely get either a segmentation fault or an assertion failure (and a future improvement involving remapping virtual space will make it so we get no segmentation faults, which I'm pretty excited for).

And in that case you are not contributing by watching the ads. There's also a ton of sponsorship where the creator has a referral code that the viewer uses to purchase a product. In these cases they make money if you buy the product.

If you're not going to buy anything, you are not helping the creator at all by watching any ads. Your are better off just blocking the ads to not waste your time.

Many people feel the opposite of you that the Silicon Valley first republic fiasco ended up with those who chose to risk more than the rules said they would (FDIC insured amount) got bailed out for their poor decisions and risk taking, while many ordinary people are increasingly feeling that the system is stacked against them and because of the huge inflation (that they don't see matching the government figures because the government is playing funny with the numbers) is putting them financially back.

I'm not saying your wrong, but there are a lot of people who see it differently, and I also don't think that "the smooth running of the financial system" is the most important responsibility of the government.

> with a title I could not connect to anything in a book

You.. might have skipped all the interesting parts, then? The book is not about the story; the author overtly says near the start that he's inventing the story to illustrate an idea, the idea of 'lightness' vs 'heaviness' and how, he says, it governs our lives.
That’s a nice viewpoint and I’m happy for the outcome. The cynic (sometimes me) would say we just maintained the status quo and managed to stave off a wider collapse due to a society fundamentally built on unsustainable growth.

The Spectrum of Anger
I feel like Americans are blinded by these companies. They’re just scum but we keep putting up with it. Why ?
Execution so far has been good - on a real basis, the US economy is on pre-covid trend despite lockdowns, inflation, a war in Europe, etc. If the Fed actually navigates us into a soft landing, it will probably be the greatest achievement in the history of modern economic management (maybe along with the Marshall Plan)
IANAL, but my understanding of some of the details differs:

> CDDL is 'BSD-like'- allowing the right for CDDL code to co-exist in perhaps proprietary/closed source codebase, so long as the CDDL parts remain CDDL. It does not make demands for non-CDDL parts, allowing dual-license scenarios?

It's more like halfway between GPL and BSD. Importantly, BSD licenses impose sufficiently limited conditions that BSD code can be subject to GPL conditions at the same time without violating either license. CDDL makes mutually exclusive demands with GPL.

(But yes, CDDL does allow for mixed CDDL+proprietary systems; that's what it was created for. Sun wanted to open source Solaris, but needed to be able to keep some parts of it closed-source (because they didn't actually own all the code, having licensed some of it from third parties).)

> All contributions to the Linux kernel are subject to GPL

There's actually non-GPL code in there, but it's all under GPL compatible licenses, so the final result is GPL. But for instance, if someone wanted to put in the work and there was interest, you could almost certainly get HAMMER2 from dragonfly BSD included into Linux because it'll be under a BSD license that's GPL compatible.

> Now the resulting codebase has more restrictions than the spirit of the CDDL allows for. Is this not a conflict?

Yes, that's basically the conflict. Note that there is some difference of opinion on the situation; Canonical, for instance, seems to believe that they can ship ZFS kernel modules under the CDDL without making them part of the GPL kernel and thus not mix the licenses. Others say that compiling the ZFS modules against the kernel makes the result a derivative work of the kernel and therefore is a conflict. Until someone actually tries to file a lawsuit over it, I don't know that we definitively know.
Let's not oversell it. They appear to have reined in several problems of their own creation/exacerbation. Hopefully it sticks. I sure hope it does.
> the DIY PC builds where you simply don't have access to the custom design;

On Linux (or Steam Deck) you can precompile shaders for your specific hardware like Switch or PS5. There is nothing about "DIY PC builds" that prevent you from building an experience like this.
Indeed, you can't simply pretend that there's no value in these platforms for end users. As awful as reddit may be, it has many users and a lot of valuable information.

I don't think that things like this client (or e.g. nitter) are desirable end states, but they can be incredibly important for users who still need/want to work with the "old" platforms while more open/friendly replacements emerge.
Actually everybody needs it, they just outsource it to somebody who can do it better than them.

The real problem is you can cannot find a language which you don't speak, useful.

The only reason why things like Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division come easily even to people without any education is because it has to become a part of their everyday vocabulary if you have to as little as start a lemonade stand. If Im not wrong Arabs arrived at algebra trying to workout inheritance laws from the Quran. Want to build a home, you can only brute force that much, eventually you are likely to invent the Pythagoras theorem, measurement techniques, myriad other geometrical methods.

All this is possible because if you have to do a thing, anything at all, well, you have to arrive at the most logically consistent formulation of the problem. That helps you to not only do it well, but do it right.

The real question there fore is introducing Math in a way it becomes a part of people vocabulary and general language.
How do you think it was bad for them, if you don't know them?
And, why are disabled winners 'even worse'?
Government yes. But this has nothing to do with politics. The more I study the economy the less effect I see the president or congress having much direct effect on the economy (good or bad). The Fed sure, but not so much elected officials.
Which makes the process of dismantling or avoiding the regulation actually slightly easier because all you need is one state to defect in order to cause a precedent which then allows for a regulatory cascade.

It’s almost deterministic at this point, and you see how they did it for clawing back reproductive rights.

And this issue is obscure enough for a small enough current population, that you would not be able to actually build a robust counter protest in any kind of sensible way.

So really all it would take is a handful of just Millionaires to care about this problem to throw — let’s call it $10 million - at lobbying in order to make it go their direction.

In my view, you are not wrong to be skeptical in terms of the simplicity behind generating 1kwh overnight in a small wind power installation. Where we disagree lies in the claim that is "essentially impossible". In my experience, that is not the case.

It's been many moons since I published _The Wind Power Book_ in 1982, and a lot of improvements have come along since the wind turbines I built in those days. Indeed, it's non-trivial to harness wind energy in significant amounts with small home installations.

A lot depends on where you live. For instance, a small wind machine out in the plains, say, Montana, has a much higher chance of performing that does one located elsewhere and especially in areas where buildings interfere with wind flows.
That sounds nice in theory, but in reality, whether you raise from a firm of three partners or 300, you're going to work very closely with a single partner, and his or her competencies/style is mostly what your interaction with the "firm" is going to be. And you rarely, if ever, get to chose the partner with whom you work.
