That only tells you whether there is someone in the middle, it doesn't tell you that the party on the other end is the party you intend to communicate with.

Yeah the cost advantage is entirely in last mile connectivity. It doesn't really make sense to compare the cost of a single cable to the cost of the end customer getting a connection. LTE is a much better comparison, but I think the co

I think it might be comparable. It's really hard to estimate since we don't know their satellite costs, but $100 million per satellite (launched) is probably a good starting point. That ends up being $13k capital cost per customer

People aren't generally using a 1 gbps connection at 100% capacity 100% of the time. If we assume customers use an average of 1 TB of data per month and the time they use it is pretty spread out (seems reasonable since they are going t

I think you're right, but I also think there would be much more political pressure to restrict them.

by gibybo 11y ago
Okay, you're right. I was thinking of the Standard Model as more of a moving target that incorporates everything we know about the fundamental particles and their forces. I thought the model started with a smaller number of particles [

by gibybo 11y ago
I didn't mean to imply the standard model was the thing predicting them. Only that scientists have predicted them and if they were to be discovered, the standard model would likely be extended to include them.
131.
by gibybo 11y ago
The standard model is not a complete model of all elementary particles. It is a model of all known elementary particles. There are reasonable outstanding predictions for: - More Higgs bosons - A Graviton - Another 17 super symmetrical pai

by gibybo 11y ago
I believe that is normally the case, but this wouldn't be the first time a particle was discovered before being predicted. The muon was discovered before an accurate prediction for it was made. There were some known gaps that people tr

How would it fundamentally break down? Admittedly I don't know enough to know how a particle with these particular properties would affect it, I was just trying to make the point that a new particle doesn't necessarily break the s

by gibybo 11y ago
The standard model currently has 17 particles[1]. This number has grown over time, most recently when the Higgs boson was added a few years ago. The standard model makes no claim as to how many particles there can be, what their masses shou

In theory, the company has a legal fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the shareholders. If they try to rob the shareholders by unreasonably diluting, you could sue for breach of that responsibility. In practice, nothing really pr

Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuvK-od647c It's my favorite video for explaining how we know that the state is not determined until it has been measured. It's not just a decision we thought up on paper.

I can't test it since the change hasn't happened yet, but it certainly seems that way. It sounds like they are saying they don't want people having any sort of root access on their VPS.

>stuff like this is apparently more valuable than defeating aging, fixing our economy in fundamental ways, or making life mulitplanetary. It's not. Groupon is worth $5 billion. Any of those things would be worth trillions.

Small nit: That is the price per thousand cubic feet, not million. I'm not sure how much helium they used, but I'd estimate somewhere between 10 and 100 thousand cubic feet. Still a minor cost, of course.

It's not just firing them or taking back their options. The incentives change such that the company doesn't really have to put any effort in retaining them anymore. Bonuses/raises/soft perks/etc that the company mig

This really should have been the submitted link. The submitted link is almost completely useless for anyone who doesn't already know what Broadsheet is. The real homepage is beautiful and does a pretty good job explaining what it is.

I don't think that conflicts with what I said?

Chaotic systems are deterministic (as shown by a deterministic computer algorithm simulating one). They just aren't predictable except by simulating them (which constrains us by time and accuracy).

In principle you can already do this. Whether it works or not depends on the mining pools though, not necessarily this protocol change (although it may influence them). Some pools will prioritize transactions with higher fees, some will pri

I'm not claiming it was under market. I'm claiming that you can't claim it was over market.

Because there is no losing bidder who claimed a near market price bid. All publicly claimed bids were far below market.
