So you're saying we shouldn't put networking equipment of the sort in LEO? I don't understand your position. Switches in datacenters and deployed to provide internet to consumers are thrown away very frequently, and LEO satel

Networking equipment is replaced more frequently than every 50y.

If you think about it, the satellites disintegrate in the atmosphere, reseeding the planet with whatever elements they're made of. Same as how many elements on Earth comes from asteroids!

Veritasium is good but it's definitely on the fluffy/filler content side of things. I wouldn't exactly call it the most valuable and informative videos out there. It's more breath than depth. Here's an example of so

Is there a TL;DR?

More like a completely disfunctional government made up of a bunch of warlords of dubious background and character. AFAIK the Talibans massacred any possible opposition/contender around the 9/11 events, leaving effectively no cohe

To put things in context: at the time, the US wanted al-Qaeda and the Talibans to face justice, so this amnesty deal was not inline with that goal. It would have led to Taliban leaders walking without punishment aside from losing power. I&#

I'm a happy BEV owner but I'm usually in the camp that hydrogen fuel cells (HFC) probably make sense in some circumstances (ships, cargo, large plane, etc). But your argument of network effects for BEV is one I hadn't conside

It has much better energy density than batteries, which is useful when mass is at a premium (in specific circumstances because it also requires heavy apparatus), or when you need some backup power supply to supplement a worst case scenario

CO2 is a greenhouse gas, and combustion of hydrocarbons emits it.

Yeah but if before we had MxN complexity: - M: number of devs with their own machine - N: number of projects with their own way of bringing up dev env Using stuff like Codespace reduces M to 1.

I didn't say Rails makes a mess of a dev machine. What I'm saying is that every project makes different sort of assumptions about how it's brought up in a dev environment, and these assumptions vary wildly between projects an

What do you mean FUD? Maybe you've got your own way of doing things that works well so far for you with your current projects, but a ton of people don't live with the same experience, and when they do reach a comfortable spot, it&

The real problem that Codespace for stuff like the GitHub codebase solves, is not having to bring up the dev environment. Non trivial, organically certifiably grown commercial software has bunch of services that all eat different things in

Something I've been wondering is, assuming that the brain works at a couple dozen hertz frequency, how can we perform any sub-10ms task?

How would the diplomacy work here between NZ and Fiji's government, if NZ was to rule that having/bringing kids in Fiji is negligence?

It's not a medical emergency though, it's someone's wishes. Cruel but not the same.

There's been other regular people admitted in NZ despite the pandemic. The "Gone with the Wynns" sailing channel is an example, their boat being in need of repairs they couldn't get in the Kingdom of Tonga. Nothing to se

Most countries tax worldwide income of their _residents_ (not citizens). So in your scenario, you'd end up paying tax on the foreign investments if you profit from it when you resume being a US resident. Unless you don't declare t

Anyone has insight into what BO's problems are? I heard that they had leadership problems but otherwise a top notch staff. People love to flame Jeff Bezos but if you look at his management of Amazon, I wouldn't dismiss him casuall

That's where Keybase works better IMO.

Interesting to call "adolescent" such an old civilization. I wonder how frequently a given plot of land and people goes through a full human-like life. How often are regions reinventing themselves, over history?

Oh yes, that would be a correct statement.

You got me well confused here. Take my experience of the phenomenon as you wish and incorporate it or not into your decision making process, at your leisure. I'm not the only one who feels this way when citizens corner us immigrants in

In some place, the transliterated rules aren't up to the name bearer. There's official rules and when you apply for international documents, the government decides how your name looks like in romanized form.

Some people take this idea to heart a bit too much. Barely anyone can pronounce my name properly and I really don't bat an eye at it. It's not pragmatic to expect most people to do so, especially in a place like the US where so ma

Can't the Ioniq 5 take 350KW? The car can be purchased today in Korea, I see many in the roads. Coming to the US in the falls.

I can totally see a justification for feeling resentment. However, deciding to indulge into resentment is a choice, probably not a conscious one most of the time, but a choice. That's what "irks" me, if you will. Arguably, my
