NVRM··on Blockstream Satellite API: Pay with BTC via Lightning to Broadcast Data Globally
You are not much into electronics as I can see.
NVRM··on Blockstream Satellite API: Pay with BTC via Lightning to Broadcast Data Globally
So this seems useless for payment, but here is the real hidden interest:

You can send a file up to 10Kb, and pay for byte sent.

It's cheap, coast looks to be $0.0035 for a 5Kb file.

The receiver can get the file, encrypted, without internet, using only a SDR tv card, amplifier and antenna, worldwide, in 10 minutes.

I see there large possible applications!!!

NVRM··on Ask HN: Where to find someone to review my code?
It depends on your goal. If you are looking for performances, many times, the good team practice isn't the fastest, or simplest.

What about writing quick units tests and make your own comparisons? What is working nice for you, is probably the best way, anyway!

NVRM··on Ask HN: Have you noticed that Google search links are less clickable lately?

NVRM··on Show HN: Tableau-Like Data Visualizations in JavaScript
Exactly what I saw. This isn't a matter of slow server, but some examples are taking way too much ressources. Freezes. In the case of many charts in the scope, as i need refresh every 10 seconds, this will turn in blocking in no time. Testing performances in firefox debugger is already freezing with one chart and no refresh, and i didn't see the garbage collector be significant. (Memory leaks..) Too bad that charts are good. But performances should be a big warning.
