It's not about how fast you can task a satellite and get data back that the article is talking about.

It's taking about between when the satellite was launched, and when it was able to send images back down was 58 hours. That is impressive. In the past it would normally take a week or more to get a satellite into a stable orbit and do all the checkout tests. After that, sure, task away and get all the images you want.

To get started hacking satellites, you've got to communicate with them first

Targeting the $10-15 price range per month for the lower tiers is ideal. This would basically sit just under adobe's costs, but there wouldn't be the time investment of learning their tools, and the user doesn't need a beefy computer. There's also a good possibility that a small chunk of potential customers may only be using a phone.

I also remember hating my computer for a while after as well

This is awesome, I'm sure this was fun to make. I love digging into the python internals

The only way to find out is to try

This comment should be removed, doesn't add anything to the conversation and is speculative at best.

I think the average American cares some, they just aren't aware of what they can do and aren't aware of the extent surveillance is happening.

Deep fakes are going to start becoming part of our news, our entertainment, and our justice systems. "Fake news" a few years ago was just cherry picked data and skewed graphs, now the probability of any piece of media being completely fabricated is within a range to consciously consider.

<3 that is admirable.

I've been converting people to signal for years, I've got everyone in my life to switch except for my parents and 2 coworkers.

Just my opinion, our dev/admin tools need to be a little friendlier. There are too many people that are turned off from learning Linux, programming, or anything deeper than using an app, because there can be so many headaches. There will also people that dive deep into the kernel, but Ive wasted a lot of my time over the years doing something someone else could have done if there was just a web portal, GUI, or hell even decent documentation.

We need more people that are computer literate, and making the learning curve a little friendlier helps with that. It's not like there's a petition to get rid of SSH.

Cool thanks. I might have to start from scratch just because of the underlying mechanisms that I'd want in it. The premise is to use microtransactions for posting/comments, mixed with a bit of the patreon model, to reward good posts and have a barrier to entry for reposts/trolling.

Lol I wouldn't want to soil these grounds

I'm seriously considering making a reddit competitor with some significant tweaks to the karma/voting/mod system

Is this sarcasm?

I need something like this for Android, that's where I got down most of my ideas. For a while I was using Google keep and transferring my notes to scrivener occasionally but that is just time consuming.

I agree, it's one of the most interesting concepts I've seen in a game. Highly recommend.

This should really be a tradition that all natural born Americans should have when they turn 18 also. I'm not necessarily about nationalism, that road can go down some dark paths, but it is really comforting to know you are a part of something bigger

I really appreciate your work, this is awesome.

I do too; I've had this conversation a few times. Happiness isn't my highest priority, it's up there, but there's a lot of trade temporary happiness for, such as health or sanity.

Sounds like Minority Report and 1984 had a nightmare baby. Will definitely check that out.

I had a similar experience in Iraq. I had saw an attack happen and then heard the CNN report about it a few hours later and it wasn't even in the realm of what happened. It was surreal.

Id be interested to see the wattage per teraflop difference between the two.

Why did you base64 it? I was expecting an image, but if it's just text, why didnt you just post the text?

I disagree, this discounts the martyr

That information may be used to assist in the theft of research down the line by someone else. Someone else could know exactly where someone's office is and what to grab out of there. Or what labs to try to get jobs/internships/etc in to be closer to a lab they want access to that they likely wouldn't get a job in.

Given your grander temporal experience, do you have any predictions/foresight into how the world is changing? It feels like we are being wound up to be shot out of a cannon if I'm being honest.

The best way I can describe it is, before you experience anything like that, you are only aware of the normal/sober extents that your mind uses, and afterwards you realize that most the dials/knobs/gradients/ups/downs you've experienced are only within a small threshold of what your brain is capable of. Experiencing that allows you to have a better understanding of where your thoughts/emotions/experience fall on those spectrums the rest of your life. It puts the range you normally operate into perspective.

Think of it as a kind of messy recalibration, a jostle of the box of your mind. Jostling your box occasionally can help you sometimes break through a local optima to a more global optima, shaking the fuck out of your brain all the time, well, it'll probably make you creative but no guarantees anyone else will understand you.

You have to add energy to make it messy as well
