Interesting! Is it theoretically possible to launch a "GPS jamming" satellite constellation? And if so, could you do it with far less satellites than the quantity you are attempting to jam?

IMO that's up to the agreement between the creator and the person they sell/license their creations to. I offer product "A" with defined conditions attached. It may be as simple as "it's 100% yours for $X&quot

Off-topic, but the Reason icon is strikingly similar to YCombinator's. Orange square, with a single white letter in the middle. Wonder if one was modeled off the other.

I was curious and looked it up - Nobel prizes cannot be retracted.

This article would have really benefited from an easily-creatsd line chart trending life expectancy over time. It would have given a lot of context to the drop. I was surprised at the oversight by both the NYT journalists and editors.

Why is the website failing with unhandled errors, but working when they are try/catch'd? Either way the errors are being thrown, and the functionality isn't available. Is the browser not able to handle the situation itself m

On the manufacturer side the chips are also smaller, which means more chips per wafer (and thus, presumably, more yield/profit), correct?

And more than that - insanely perseverant and tenacious. A very powerful combination.

If things go right 8 times out of 10 overall, that's a net win. Expected value - I get Product X $2 cheaper if things go right, but lose $6 if things go wrong. Expected value = 2*.8-6*.2 = .4. Overall net positive.

Let's not forget the benefits either. Reduced redundancy is _good_ (as long as nothing fails in the chain, ofc). It enables society to make more, for lower costs. And it works remarkably well, overall.

That's an intriguing idea... I'd be interested if you care to expand upon it!

It's very normal to have multiple identities/modes/stages of life, but we only begin to appreciate this after we've been through a couple (aka with age). In the beginning our first identity or two is all we've ever

That's cool! I really can't track around the room smoothly, despite "trying" hard to do so! Grr....

You're right, unlocking the phone every single time you want to interact with it is exceedingly tedious. Which is why I remove the FaceID/passcode completely. The overall improvement to my QoL is well worth the increased risk.

Good points. No, I don't think I would want to do that job, even for more compensation. How about we just agree that companies should pay me more doing the exact same job I already know and enjoy? :]

What always pissed me of most about 'sales vs. engineering is': Engineering: Works hard (45 hrs/wk), knowledgeable and experienced at their craft, specialized skill-set, net compensation... $150,000. Sales: Works hard (55 hrs

Is trying to convince you in-and-of-itself a mistake? Or just the approach used?

What sort of concerns? Big difference between "unsure of cost-benefit for patients aged 3-5" and "vaccines contain microchips".

Purely from a notaphilist (had to look that up) perspective, the note designs look really cool, and I think integrating an nfc chip / electronic into currency is a neat innovation.

People likely are saving a ton of money, but they were also probably not utilizing the most optimal solution out there previously (e.g. buying through their insurance vs. GoodRX).
