True, they aren't upgrading the satellites to the v2 ones that are 10x more powerful in total throughput and number of subscribers. They also aren't launching more satellites (and rockets) every year /s Oh wait, I was wrong o

That doesn’t make any sense though. Make the kids suffer chicken pox AND shingles as adults do adults don’t get shingles as often? Anyone who contracts chickenpox as a child is able to get shingles as an adult. Inversely, anyone who gets th

That’s quite regrettable. It’s a safe vaccine that totally eliminates chickenpox and adult shingles. It’s a standard childhood vaccine in the US and has been for some time. As someone who’s suffered though fairly severe shingles twice, I’m

It appears that children not getting sick in the first few years of their lives paired with some mutations that aren't uncommon can cause the immune system to stay too weak. This is one of the leading theories why so many children get

In 2020, there were around 173,000 highway vehicle fires reported in the United States. These are generally totally ignored as well unless they are one of the exceptionally rare Electric Vehicle cars. Then they are all over the news ZOMG TE

That's my experience as well. There isn't a nicer one than DRF / Starlette, but for a specific use case, you can get away with a custom one no problem.

A lot of military research is done IN CONCERT with NASA, you know that, right? The DoD and NASA work together so much on missiles and avionics it isn't funny. https://www.nrel.gov/workingwithus/defense-partnerships

Can you point out a better generic framework for this? And starlette doesn’t count as Tom Christie is the author of both.

I'm assuming you're referring to Django Rest Framework? It's one of the nicest API frameworks I've had an excuse to use professionally. It's easy to see why.

If you have enough land, many farmers will roll it for you for free, and give you enough to feed your livestock for the winter. We had 10 acres growing up and asked for 5-6 for winter for our small herd. They kept and sold the rest and we d

For all of the "freedom" we have as Americans, there are many areas much of the rest of the western world does things better. Not getting political, but just factually... check out gun violence statistics next.

LoraWAN sort of dominates agriculture IoT (the S is for Security) market. I guess it depends on your target area, but it is alive and very well. Even if you aren't a blockchain fan, Helium[1] is still alive and well. It is helping spre

That was popular understanding until Spacex used normal intel chips for most of their flight hardware. They have the computers generally in triplicate do a bit flip in one doesn’t cause issues, and it is many times more cost effective.

We did the same thing. We were fairly early and heavy users of the pagerduty API. We'd been using it for over a year and had integrated it fairly deeply into our SRE stack. When the renewal came up (we had a 3 year contract), they want

Ah well you would know much better than me! I heard someone mention James as the architect of aws and recall him mentioning designing dynamodb. Did he do that, or am I universally wrong sans his love for formal methods? Thanks for the clari

The architect of AWS and author of Dynamodb has very good thoughts on formal methods. They’re worth a read: https://perspectives.mvdirona.com/2014/07/challenges-in-desi...

You have significantly less brake wear on EVs that use regenerative braking (like Teslas). In fact, you use them significantly less due to the regen braking. It is easy to get really rusty brake pads post carwash because you use them so lit
