also on that note. I found so much new music on Turntable.fm That’s personally the site that I really mourn.

Grooveshark was so amazing

Question for anyone that knows, but what happens if a 16 year old draws a naked picture of their 16 year old partner?

Yeah. I don’t like it, but I can see this getting overturned.

Yeah, I guess that’s what I really meant.

Also at face value, it may seem like “an hour of engineering time,” but I think cloud vendor lock in is real unless you try very hard to only use abstract constructs.

I actually recommend AWS because of this. Sure, it’s AWS with all the warts, but at least they bend over backwards to maintain compatibility (at least compared to GCP), and have sustainable billing practices.

Free is free until it’s not. When Cloudflare becomes the new Akamai and needs profits, guess who will get squeezed. If you’ve built your app around their vendor specific stuff like Cloudflare functions, that can be bad news.

I’m losing family members to conspiracy theory YouTube channels.

The crackpots had a greater barrier to transmit back in the day. They had to get an FCC license or know someone with a radio station. Even then reach was limited unless you could reach a deal to transmit nationwide.

I personally believe our brains are primed on some level to buy into this stuff. It’s very hard to overcome.

I would do either in a heartbeat to maintain my remote status.

For me, it was just looking at the garbage he started spewing online. I gave him the benefit of the doubt when the MSM turned on him, but wow, his tweets are really bad.

The nord stream 2 cut off a major source of income for Russia. This is between two NATO members with no upside.

I’ve been to a lawyer once, and this happened. I got billed and told to go to a different lawyer.

That’s just one study, and I’d argue we should write books in camel case to make them more compact if there’s truly no difference.

The test frameworks typically output the passing/failing function names. Adding spaces like this make them more human readable.

I was also going to point that out. Resistive electric heating costs could easily reach that much, but it’s a horribly inefficient way to heat your house.

Can someone explain why the font looks so disjointed on the presentation screen?

> The claim from the parent article is wrong and it is based on an incorrect method for computing the ideal energy per mass ratio for lithium-air batteries.

Can you elaborate for laypersons such as myself?

The egress/ingress points can sometimes be accessible by shore, but the cables I have seen there are pretty heavily armored (likely just the same type used to armor against ship anchors)

Yes. I think the outrage here is that it’s being used to influence democratic elections by obviously non-democratic leaders like Putin.

That’s really cool! I’m personally really interested in serverless DB offerings. I’m not sure if yours scales well, but I always seem to hit the limits of a single RDBMS instance at some point as a product matures.

There are plenty of ways to scale out traditional RDBMS, but serverless offerings make it so easy to scale out.

They have contracts for now and cash flow. My concern is how much better/worse it will be than Starlink. Consumer pressures will dictate whether Verizon/ATT renew those contracts based on performance.

It takes longer with the dollar amount being so large, but SpaceX has a real advantage of 1) being vertically integrated 2) having customers buy the rockets and 3) having expertise and ability to iterate very quickly on satellite designs. I don’t know of a single company that can compete with them on #2 and 3 right now.

My prediction is that SpaceX satellites will perform better in the real world due to the density they’ve built up, and they will be able to partner with 3rd parties for much cheaper. I’m not saying that’s what will happen, but I’m pretty blown away by what they’ve been able to do so far.

Not to mention that the existing Starlink fleet is about to be old technology. The larger satellites launched by Starship is projected to dwarf the terminal speed available now (gigabit+ downlinks to consumer dishes).

I am skeptical AST will be able to really compete. SpaceX has a massive cost advantage.

I hope that they will, but the engineers at SpaceX have made me a believer. If the gen 1 direct to cell sats don’t perform (it seems like they do), they’ll just launch another batch a couple weeks later. I don’t think AST will have this ability, so I hope they get it right.

I appreciate the input. I recognize that I had brought up some issues that are polarizing (the article itself was a hot topic).

I personally put a lot of thought into and struggle with gun/weapon legislation. I very much enjoy hearing from others, and it has helped shape my opinion in this area over the years.

You do bring up a good point. I can’t help but wonder if there’s a better metric for comment “rank” rather than a binary up/downvote.

I’m just curious with the downvotes to better myself - where was I off base?

The DOE has entered the chat.

(after the nuclear test ban treaty, they run a LOT of simulations)

You would be surprised. I have seen coil guys about this size do significant damage to thin wood boards or cardboard.

Sure, it’s not going to do massive damage like a 7.62x51, but it’s still enough to seriously injure.

I think the larger question is proliferation and intent within a culture. For example, I’m of the opinion knives are a tool, but they can easily be used as a weapon. There’s a huge grey area between hobbies, tools, and weapons. I think it’s up to the collective groups to decide what’s appropriate.

> Maybe a strategic nuke on Kaliningrad if any provocation happens.

Surely you must be joking about a first-strike nuclear provocation or larger. I would think almost anything other than a border incursion could be dealt with in other ways.

Should Putin be held more accountable for his actions? Absolutely, but a nuclear response is not going to go well unless absolutely justified.

Some of those unimplemented “standards” are to protect user privacy. I know this is not universally the case, but it’s worth calling out.

I’m trying to figure out why the alignment was so important.

Wouldn’t it be possible to get a gravity assist in any alignment - albeit just taking a little longer to ping-pong across the system?

I think this was true at some point, but I’ve been disappointed in the quality of the OSS Netflix tools recently. I think before k8s and a plethora of other tools matured, they were way ahead of the curve.

I specifically found the Netflix suite for Spring very lacking, and found message oriented architectures on something like NATS a lot easier to work with.
