Not sure about JWST, but for Earth-observing satellite data it's common to store data in formats that support tiling and ranged reads so that clients are only loading the parts of the dataset relevant to current view. My guess is somet

Yes, the daytime imagery does not use the SWIR band which is why it looks totally dark. Here is an eclipse image with the SWIR band: https://i.postimg.cc/zf6yHXSy/IMG-5031.png

The ABI on GOES-16 is not exactly like a camera. Instead it collects light across different spectral bands and stores them independently. So when you see a color image from GOES, it's actually a composite of specific bands. I don'

Re: Scorpion, I’ve been persuaded by the argument put forth In Blind Man’s Bluff, that a faulty torpedo battery overheated and kicked off a sequence of events ultimately resulting in sinking and implosion.

I agree, specifically the part where they note that probability of collision was greater than 1 in 10k but that they were unable to address the situation (forcing an Earth observation satellite to maneuver). edit: Maybe I'm being unnec

It's interesting to see SpaceX doing PR around this. They've quite visibly declined (possibly failed) to maneuver things in the past: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanocallaghan/2019/09/02&#

That’s a shame. After building a few of my own computers/servers with used parts over the years, I switched to buying used NUCs for my last two projects (computer in my shed/workshop for basic CAD, and a quicksync plex transcoding

While it might be true that 23andMe complies with court orders in specific cases, there is likely a distinction between individual subpoenas and carte blanche catalog access for law enforcement. I say this because a famous cold case in Phil

For launching payloads into LEO? Yes, see Rocket Lab. Small sat operators are using both.

That's not a great analogy. Nobody "placed" any sort of tracking on his jet. The plane publicly broadcasts its location information out in the open. Somebody just looked at the information and tweeted it.

The magic proclamation is actually going the other way. If the company is ending the employment, that is termination. The company does not get to simply say "well you've resigned." Perhaps you're not arguing termination

Aside: there is no "technically resigned" here, if they're referring to Musk's loyalty-pledge deadline. Those employees have been terminated -- and are entitled to unemployment and wrongful termination protections.

Based on your architecture diagram it looks like you're spinning up an instance per-user? As you're probably finding now, you will hit AWS limits quickly. You might instead want to have a smaller pool of (larger) servers that you

Re: SSM parameters, my wish is for AWS to implement resource policies in the same way KMS, S3, etc have. The public use case wish is nice, but I'd like to be able to share params within my org as well. Right now we copy params (AMI IDs

That’s interesting, regarding Lodge, but I could replace this 6 times and still spend less than the cost of one Le Creuset. (I appreciate irony of this point in contrast with my “buy it for life” point above.) America’s Test Kitchen is anot

Nobody is denying that the quantum system performs the task faster. The question is whether it performs a task that can't feasibly be performed by a classical system. That is what the researchers are specifically referring to when they
