this is the top comment?! the most active discussion thread? Somehow dystopian handwringing and cheap, shallow, commentary is so much more interesting than progress, technology, and business to the audience here (of all places). get a gr

Resistance to change in SF from old-timers always surprises me too! SF has been constantly, radically, changing since it's founding - gold rush, the fire, WWII military port, the 60's cultural shift, then the more recent things

I'd never heard it before either. It's just "online course". guess they wanted to feel cooler with an acronym?

Wow, you captured so many things I saw in my own education. let me add one: Same way you learn to let some code fail instead of handling every exception.

worth thinking about, of course - but the great outdoors is not a private place.

I suppose speculators will speculate - but c'mon. just wait and we'll have video and telemetry and this whole conversation will be moot.

They are using it for very low data rate relay - that's a useful use. Why not let other people try to do clever things instead of stopping them because "in my day satellites were beefy, manly things, not these sissy little waf

Those articles are not really convincing - two are regarding one book review, one criticizes the British reader for mispronouncing Spanish names (among other nit-picks). Those sources are very obviously biased (which is fine) and don'

technically correct title (the best kind!) - but clickbaity because everyone wants to see a serious test of self-driving on snow-covered, icy roads, ideally with actually blinding, falling snow - at night. This is, if anything, even easier
