I don't know how Starlink's satellites are architected, but the spacecraft I am familiar with has several different boot images with automatic failover. For that system, you would have to replace/corrupt multiple of the actua

I'm hardly an expert, but it seems like usually stuff like this happens to major backbones because of a bad configuration being rolled out too fast. Maybe the pushed a bad DNS/BGP/<insert networking acronym here> update

Much to my annoyance, no one seems to have any interest in making a Linux compatible Quicken alternative. Until they do, I'll have to deal with Windows in some form. That's just my example though. The broader point is that there i

No hostility intended. No human being is a completely blank slate. Asking such an open ended question on an internet forum strongly implies that you disagree with the premise of the person you're responding to. Explaining if/how&#

First, we categorically lack the technology for wide-scale colonization of space or other planets. Second, no matter how much people like to deny it, the Earth does have some finite carrying capacity. We can argue indefinitely about what e

Well then I guess it was an unseasonably warm December that year? Or perhaps the dates have changed? Regardless, I'm not at all convinced that it makes a significant difference to the story.

Count me among those who have no idea when Michaelmas is, but does it really matter? The next sentence tells you it is sometime around November. The whole passage is laden with overlapping context clues.

Stable in terms of population, not all of the stuff you're talking about.

Not just "can be". For transmission lines (which is what we're talking about here) aluminum is used exclusively.

When I bought my latest car ~2 years ago, the dealer's rate was something like half a percent higher than my banks. On a 3 year loan and with the $1000 kickback for taking the dealer financing, it ended up being marginally cheaper to t

On the ground vibration testing is a standard part of pre-launch spacecraft testing. This would trigger most (not all) vibration/G-force related failures on the ground rather than at the actual launch.

Vibration testing is a completely standard part of space payload pre-flight testing. You would absolutely want to vibe-test (no, not that kind) at both a component level and fully integrated before launch.

As someone who has no idea what a "scratch-off coupon" is, we could be surprised because we have no idea that this is going on at all at any level.

Hell, I do this for my drinking water in the United States . My tap water is perfectly safe to drink, but even after running through a brita filter it tastes aweful , so it's worth the 30 minutes a month it takes to got get RO filter

I'm not even really a hobbyist photographer anymore, but when I was, the full lossless edit was a .psd and that was generally exported to (high quality) jpg for distribution. I have folders full of carefully curated raws. For the relat

Yeah, when I was a smoker (thankfully many years in the past now), I really only ever used bics. I went through phases with Zippos or butane lighters, but they were always maintenance heavy, unreliable and too expensive for something so com

I'm sure that's true, but the interesting thing to me is that it's the gradient exists within an industry too, at least for me in government R&D, we're not at all stuffy out here in the West.

The article also makes it sound like that. Are you saying they didn't? I don't see any reference in the article to any other organization that could have done the research. Edit: Unless "Salesforce AI Research" is not a

Very much my impression too. I work for an org with sites scattered across the country. My colleagues in Virginia still regularly wear suits, while I in California haven't even owned a suit in many years. For no particular reason I can

It probably means that there's an issue with the battery cells or circuitry used in this specific model that isn't present in other models.

After everything that happened up to the 2024 election, I think it's entirely reasonable to lump anyone who didn't vote at all in with those that explicitly voted for Trump.

I haven't previously heard of Xreal. Looking at their glasses, it seems like they're all 1080p. I find it very difficult to deal with text on a regular 1080p monitor after having uses 4k monitors for a while. Is there something ab

It's probably worth noting that the "real" in "real wages" indicates that the number is already inflation adjusted.

Housing prices are being driven up by the fact that we don't build enough housing. That should be the end of the discussion. What you describe is just a symptom of not having enough housing. If we just built more housing then there wou

Possibly a US thing, definitely not a Kagi thing. Useless Pintrest results (especially in image search) that don't actually the thing they pretend to are ubiquitous on Google.

Can you give an example of a restaurant you have in mind? I thought I lived in a HCOL area, but your number seems off by nearly a factor of 2 to me. Plus, considering how infrequently many people eat out at all, I'm not so convinced th

That's a separate evolution though. The original/basic F9 was (by the standards of the time) an economically viable rocket without first stage reusability.

No. Maybe slightly ambiguous, but I immediately read the title as "most powerful laser in the US".

Are you claiming that jogging is as dangerous, in terms of level of injury as cycling? That seems implausible to me. I would be curious what you base that on. My initial assumption was that your belief is that you're as likely to suffe
