This isn't a medical procedure. You are certainly not allowed to make someone go through a medical procedure, since, you know, it doesn't affect you. Not being vaccinated affects everyone, so your choice of whether you get it or n

I don't think you know many anti-vax people if you think education is the answer. Every one I've met is completely unwilling to look at data coming out, and instead relies solely on headlines they've read that are usually inc

That's kind of the key. We require c++17. Without that it gets extremely ugly and more verbose.

We're making a numerical computing library that expression templates are used for compile-time evaluation of expressions. It's a very niche hpc library, so it might be one of the few places it's appropriate.

by shaklee3 5y ago
Can you link to it? We're using expression templates on a new library and I find it useful.

Of course. I've seen that headline in plenty of places. But as soon as you scroll past the headline you see: "However, the two-dose vaccine still works very well in preventing people from getting seriously sick, demonstrating 88%

They're going back to mask mandates because the numbers are going back up due to unvaccinated people... I thought this was all clear?
458.
by shaklee3 5y ago
The vaccine has an overwhelming amount of data showing it's effective, and very little showing side effects. At some point it's a national responsibility to get it. If you don't, then there's nothing that says you should

It's a choice though. You could just get vaccinated and not worry about getting fired.

They're not going to do that for a while. All the money is currently tied up to meet their RDOF funding.

Elon changed nothing about price. He's selling a heavily subsidized terminal that will eventually need to be recouped.

by shaklee3 5y ago
Because it needs to support 40+ years of legacy code. What's wrong with the more modern array types?
463.
by shaklee3 5y ago
That's the entire point. They're mostly over the ocean/areas without high-paying customers 70-90% of the time. Because of that, it would be more like (in the best case): 42k sats@20G * 0.2 * 5 million subs target = 33Mbps&#x2

It's an idea. They have not been demonstrated successfully.

Your math is way off. 50M subs with the coverage over land and total bandwidth will put their provisioning rate (Bps/sub) way below even the Geo satellite providers. They need to charge a lot more or provide slower service by having mo

There is absolutely no basis for the cost to be that low. Nobody believes that. Not even Elon, since he's commented on it several times.
467.
by shaklee3 5y ago
No. They are increasing satellites by an order of magnitude, but users by about 20x. It's going to get worse

None other then Elon musk says they need $20-30B in investments to stay afloat recently. They are nowhere near where it needs to be for the terminal cost. The launches can be free and the business will still sink without more government sub

They operate independently, but both are funded by bezos. They don't need to be owned by the same company. They need to both be good at their respective goals and cheap launches will follow. But to be clear, none of this matters. The b

Blue origin has been at it for a while. While kuiper is new, blue origin is not.

Both. I specifically said the USA because that's where they're going to make the most money, and at a given time only about 10% of their satellites are over it. The satellite capability is one thing, but spectrum is another. Space

I think you're overestimating what it takes to catch up here. There are no contracts. If one is better than the other, people will cancel their service and switch at the drop of a hat.

by shaklee3 5y ago
The number of satellites is an extremely poor metric for capacity. A single GEO satellite has more USA capacity than about 900 LEOs
474.
by shaklee3 5y ago
How can you say this? Starlink is in beta and nowhere near the full capacity they need to sustain the business.

Ignore them. Nice work as usual, Travis.

That's not how it works. It's well known that overheating electronics for an extended period of time causes them to fail. Especially ones that are not rated for large temp ranges. So to speculate that it's probably not a real

You mentioned $1000. $1500 is impressive, but is there a follow-up?

by shaklee3 5y ago
Radomes cost over $10k at these frequencies, so that's not a solution.

by shaklee3 5y ago
There is no evidence I've seen showing that it's less than $2000. Please send a link to the source.
