If last-mile network is too much, you could have a colocated office park / operations center next to a hospital with a dedicated high-speed network. Then each surgeon can schedule / manage a patient without having to walk to a dif

If this comes to pass, I'm all for it. If we could take the demand we saw for oil, and put it into demand for high-speed Internet, we could see completely new, blue ocean markets. Imagine a surgeon being able to control a robotic surge

I pay more for a Chipotle burrito (with guac of course, can't live without guac). This is incredible.

Cool. I'll keep my donations flowing.

Yeah, that is interesting. I donate to the ACLU monthly and I haven't gotten anything related to the pandemic, just regular board of directors voting. ...are they working on the EARN IT act by any chance?

It is controversial, because the assumption of exponential growth is flawed. For one, your model underfits population growth, it's a logistic curve and not a purely exponential one. Wealthier countries on average produce less children

It really bothers me to hear this, because the truth is people have unlimited wants, and there will always be rich and poor, whether by context or by deed. Growth is the only way I see where we can hope to lift all boats. An anti-growth men

I think NASA is usually a politically safe place to be. Airplane crashes are unpopular and media-friendly. Rocket explosions or shuttle crashes (esp. with people on them) often result in an Oval Office address. Nobody wants to be on the sho

Yeah, my mind jumped to CNN's coverage of the first Gulf War and having some color night vision for combat journalism: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/25803/this-is-what-col...

On the bright side, maybe we can get some horses out of all this.

This sounds like a compiler! Front-end which is some programming language, and backend targets being Terraform / CloudFormation / etc.

Maybe, but this move looks to flatten GitHub pricing down to two tiers: enterprise and free, while GitLab has four pricing tiers and the enterprise feature offering doesn't seem to be there (Gold doesn't look too enterprise-y at f

Well, this is amazing! I never would have thought the Microsoft acquisition would have these kinds of results! Congrats to Nat and the GitHub team (and by extension Microsoft) for making this possible! I wonder whether this is a result of m

Hopefully I'm hyperbolic. I'm not rooting for the collapse of the country I live in, and the country of people who I grew up with and raised me. I just find the truths I trust lie more in laws of nature and laws of power, rather t

Maybe they don't want to use troops as an occupying force. Afghanistan / Iraq already proved how difficult it is to occupy territory, it'd be a lot easier without insurgents resisting. A war of attrition would suck up a lot o

I'm not quite sure. We only have nukes in hundreds of kilotons, which might not be enough to crack steel and concrete and burn all combustibles at once. If there's no firestorm, the nuclear fallout might not make it to the stratos

Maybe. I mean, I would acknowledge that given post-9/11 deployments of National Guard troops to active combat zones, all you would need to do to mess up any planning would be to deploy those troops separately and randomly far away. The

I hope so, man, for our country's sake. Every day we're together is a second chance at making things right.

Dude...if we're talking about secession, we're talking about civil war. In a country with the second most nuclear weapons in the world. With a federal government already looking to adversaries for cooperation. You're talking

No Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts? I would think at least Massachusetts would want in.

Well, that was quick. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22828354 Today it is pandemic resolution. I fear that tomorrow, it might be economic ties, lockstep voting at the federal level, and National Guard drills, deployme

I wonder if I'm personally addicted to easiness. I stand on the shoulders of giants and I forget just how nice it is to dig my toes into the soil. I have a full set of Donald Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" sit

When you say it like that, it makes U.S. Treasuries sound like the S3 of the financial world. Simple, reliable, and comparatively inexhaustible. malloc() for the financial web. Also very opaque to the average person.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "Postman documentation". Is this Postman's documentation or documentation for other APIs (not sure if Postman has an OpenAPI spec?). I found slate, and it's super cool, but I have
