And that really only puts it in low earth orbit, where it would fall back down again after a few months/years, maybe decades if you get it high enough.

That was wonderful. I did awful.

Probably to fix a pretty obvious loophole:

* Obtain degree

* Turn down all jobs for 6 months

* Get refunded, then get a job.

I'm curious, at what appears to be GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) there is a ring of green "operational" satellites that align with the equator, then there is a "belt" of non-operational satellites that seem to have spread out from them.

1. Is this because the non-operational ones can no longer station keep and slowly spread out?

2. Why are they in a belt shape?

3. Why is the belt not centered on the green ring? They seem to be all "moving" in the same direction? (When I looked at it, their orbits tend to "dip" south while above the western hemisphere and north while above eastern hemisphere)

The majority of science studies, papers and reports disagree with you. Humans can and do have a huge impact on the world.

Why can't I find out how much it costs without giving you my email?

Otto uses Vagrant under the hood. Vagrant isn't going anywhere as far as I can tell.

In Arizona, you're lucky if it lasts for 2 years. Batteries don't like being in 120 degree heat all day or something.

If someone is concerned about getting blamed or praised for his work, he can sign his commits.

The article is in four pages. I missed it at first too.

> Did you know that the shuttle was mostly intact

The shuttle wasn't intact, just the crew cabin, or the very front part.

Super minor nitpick:

"Since 0xFF (256) is the largest value that can fit into a single byte"

0xFF is 255 not 256

I think this would work well, but my gut reaction is that a passenger who is already annoyed at a late bus watching that bus just go right on by would be unappreciative.

I assume he plans to completely wipe the repository after a short time of this notice being public.

Every single time there is something on hacker news with NSA in the title, I first read it as NASA. I either get very excited or very confused before realizing that I'm an idiot :)

I love the implication that it only needs the output of git log so it's totally safe to run this unknown script on your box.

I actually don't think it would be that bad. Learning T9 wasn't so hard. And I believe that the muscle memory for typing and swyping is totally different, at least based on my anecdotal evidence:

I've used Dvorak on all my computers for about 10 years, but my phones are still QWERTY. I've tried switching my phone to Dvorak, but found that the typos were much worse (because dvorak clusters all the most used letters on home row, which is close to the "worst" swype layout in the article).

For the times I tried Dvorak on the phone, retraining myself was indeed cumbersome, but I don't think it was too bad. I thought that it would be easier, since I had Dvorak in my brain, but the muscle memory for hitting a key with a certain finger moving a certain direction is totally different from swiping or taping a certain location on the screen.
