I was at a conference where some volunteers offered it, and about half the people passed -- not a surprise given that many people had only studied for 15-30 minutes. I've studied radio astronomy, so it wasn't so hard for me -- YMM

Excellent reason to ban all books in prisons.

People who've studied whether public libraries should have fines at all appear to mostly conclude that no, they shouldn't, because it causes poor people to avoid checking out books. That's why libraries have gradually switche

It boggles the mind that somehow the ozone layer story isn't a positive one for countries cooperating to stop and reverse a problem mapped out by satellites? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_depletion#Antarctic_

Sure, once Antarctica heats up, it'll gain a ton of biodiversity.

I've never met a vegan who had the vision of a human race separate from nature.

PGDP is the project that's doing high quality book transcriptions. OpenLibrary is a distribution mechanism.

If you talk to actual vegetarians and vegans, you'll find that there are more reasons than just ethics. It's a very diverse group of people.

A single bite makes me ill, but apparently that's not typical.

> aside from first-moved advantage, Impossible's marketing is actually the same as Beyond: "we were first to have a great replica!" No doubt the next competitor will say the same thing.

You might take a survey amongst your friends before claiming that the dictionary tells you all you need to know about the word "mitigate".

Pastured ruminants? In the US, cows are fed corn at feedlots to double production. You're comparing to the wrong thing.

That's how I remember the story, too, but I ran into Jeri at a conference a couple of weeks ago and she said she actually did the telemetry system. Which is also amazing.

How does that prevent browser fingerprinting?

People are already doing earth observation from larger numbers of small satellites and very large numbers of cube sats. https://www.planet.com/our-constellations/ They started with this strategy before Starlink was sta

It seems unlikely that there were more payloads sitting around waiting to launch. If there were, then second stages (always expended), fairings (imperfectly reused), and weather/pad/ship operations are all possible limiting factor

Many major corporations (like, say, IBM) have no problem with LGPL. Where did you find a bunch of developers who thought it was a problem?

scp has exactly the same limitations as ssh, it's the same code. I don't know anyone in the HPC world who uses "IPsec or a tunnel over TLS".

mosh + {emacs,vim} work pretty well on less-than-perfect links. One thing that I might miss with a local buffer is good syntax checking support (I use "flycheck" in emacs) -- it requires the server's software, and so composin
