"Does Linux" is a pretty broad question. Most distros nowadays will require you to manually enable systemd services you install though.

1 Hz is unironically an amazing achievement in minecraft. 20 Hz is the theoretical maximum without abusing bugs, and higher values are technically possible through 0-tick pulsing but most likely so utterly devastating to design that you&#x2

That's the world we live in. Many banks have custom forks of Python and various other tools but they don't care to release their code. Illegal? Sure, but they're banks, they're kind of exempt as companies are. A while ag

It seems to effectively be forwarding the text messages, like an SMS mailing list. If Twilio can't deal with forwarding messages as they come in, no matter the content, it's their problem.

I mean, the JWST is just bigger. There's two sources of unique solutions in the JWST, its size and the range of wavelengths it observes. The Hubble Space Telescope had a ground-glass mirror which was absolutely massive, both in size an

That's not what was being talked about. Sure, it's the safest aircraft out there, but that's like saying "the safest car". No-one is going to go and seek out the safest car, maybe stay away from unsafe ones, but as

Low gravity will always have health effects. If you plan on returning to the Earth and have a very short stay, 0.5 G is probably a massive improvement over 1 G, especially if you keep doing exercise. For a martian transfer, you'd acuta

Starships when full weight some 1300 tons, which is what you'd want them to be at while waiting in LEO or in martian orbit. They'll be a little lighter in transit, but not empty, since they have a lot of other tasks and getting ba

Yeah, we can. The issue is that tensile strength is measured as pressure, as force per area. Splitting a one meter cable into 10 cm cables is certainly possible. Those are half the length of your normal school ruler. You will need 100 of th

That's probably a reasonable conclusion. It does happen to be totally overshadowed by my bigger mistake, which is an order of magnitude. Repeating the calculations using my physics CAS today: Starship mass: 1.3·10³ kg Starship weight:

Yeah something that small is going to be fine. But the ISS will not be. It's 440 metric tons, generating 4.4 MN of force on a cable. That's not going to spin. And you're sending something to Mars here. In the ideal case we&

Starship weighs 1300+ metric tonnes. Accelerating to earth gravity, the cable will have a tension of 1.3 MN. On the other end the counterweight has to be of roughly equal mass by way of not being able to launch anything heavier (so prob. an

by kamray23 5y ago
Depends on the situation, though usually because of the force. Spinning a spaceship around a point with a long cable, you obviously produce a (fictitious if you're pedantic) outward force, that's kind of the point. For that fictit

Like any fintech thing to be honest. In this case it just happens to be quite legal as well as the law extends its grasp into the crypto space quite slowly.

Really a big problem in Finland. Imagine having 6 centuries worth of churches slowly disappearing beacuse "church burning" seems to have become a common holiday activity.

Cash is perhaps a little more traceable than cryptocurrency is since most ways it is passed around is in one way or another linked to the physical world and to your actual existence. You can however launder cryptocurrency without leaving yo

NFTs are smart contracts and as such come with automatically enforced terms. You can create a token which expires, useful for licensing. You can create a token which pays royalties to an artist with every sale. You can create smart financia

It's not just far-right either. Cryptocurrency, despite its appearance of full traceability and transparency, provides an incredibly easy method for money laundering in the long term and has been used to do so by every side. Many commu

It's weird because HN seems like it has a very simply document structure and would easily be made very accessible. But no, it's a horrible mess instead.

Wow jesus. Opened HN with my accessibility checker. No recognisable structure. 33 spacers on the main page alone. 200+ contrast errors.

not really? looks good, functions well. slightly awkward on mobile since the text is small. very fast, loads on all devices, very accessible because of good document structure. you could reasonably browse HN on a text-only terminal.

It was annoying to people in Europe for a while, since we were (and to some extent still are) locked out of the US internet by their disagreement with our laws. Imagine, though, how much less annoying the same thing will be for the US. Who&
