What governments do you have to go to to get approval to do this? Could I just run a string across the Atlantic Ocean?
If we do lay cables on top of other cables how high do they get stacked? Are there challenges to bring the lower cables back up? Does that happen? Or do we just keep them down there forever basically and upgrade the hardware at the terminal?
He does list three videos on his page. An 8-minute video, 30 minute video, and 93 minute video. You might have to buy them...
Even if you/I can't find the gremlin video, I highly recommend you watch any of Rob Ager's videos on movies you think you already know. He does do a lot of work on Stanley Kubrick. He will insist The Shining isn't his favorite movie, but that's hard to believe with how much he has focused on it. Anyways, Collative Learning is an excellent rabbit hole to fall down.

Edit: Okay I'm a doofus, on mobile I needed to scroll horizontally to find the watch links. I don't recognize the 8-minute video or 30 minute video, so it must have been the 93 minute video that I saw.
> The flight team was not certain the S-band could be detected at Earth due to the spacecraft’s distance, but engineers with the Deep Space Network were able to find it.
All the devs at my company kind of hate it because it's always breaking stuff. I think it's cool in theory, but they have basically zero automated support on how to get the certificate installed.
They have manual instructions on how you add the certificate to the Java key store, and NPM key store, and the python key store, and the OS key store, etc...
And my whole thing is: won't malware use those same key stores? Won't malware detect that the certificate isn't passing and then just default to HTTP?
I'm starting to think it's security theater.
This reminds me of the offline email client HP built on EFI.

> declining to rate it contains useful information about that item’s quality.
Which is something.
I think the sibling comment accidentally put it better.
> There are also people who disguise their value disagreement as a definition disagreement.
Or maybe even more to the point: they are twisting their definitions to support their values.
I think we can agree on this.
There's three forms of disagreements.
1. Disagreements on definitions
2. Disagreements on facts
Kind of hard to disagree on logical implications
3. Disagreements on value systems
Not to be dense, which is most difficult?
I have a theory that there's basically two types of disagreements, disagreements on definitions, and disagreements on value systems.
In this case Microsoft values downplaying this issue, so when that is at the top of their value system their decisions should make sense following that.
Since this is just a pet theory I'm very interested to hear critiques on it.
Disagreements on definition are a little bit easier, because then you can just talk about the definitions and resolve your differences there... For example let's say IDK You're trying to sort out how to design a software system, and everyone is speaking in terms of design patterns, but they haven't yet spelled out the details of what those designed patterns are, then that could probably lead to a lot of confusion if when you say A I think of A', and another person is thinking of A''.
WPEngine is private equity(I personally like their founder, find his talks)
Matt seems to be a founder gone crazy(I don't know much about him)
.com and .org are both controlled by Matt.
.com is Matts business side .org is Matts non-profit side
WPEngine is another company
All of this seems to be very unfortunate. Even if Matt has valid claims, he seems to have shot himself in the foot, and lost community support.
When I herniated a disc, because my hamstring atrophied, because I got a knee scope, I could not find a single doctor or physical therapist to explain it and such straightforward words, I had to do months and years of research myself to figure out what was happening. I probably saw a good 8 to 10 different "professionals" on this.
This taught me to not trust doctors. They're probably slackers and they probably don't care.
Anecdote: My girlfriend, a recruiter, says she's seen more recruiters being hired.
> Intel® reaffirms that both Intel® Core™ 13th and 14th Gen mobile processors and future client product families – including the codename Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake families - are unaffected by the Vmin Shift Instability issue.
> import { ISO20022 } from 'iso20022.js'

> console.log(creditPaymentInitiation.toString());
Now are we counting the import and not counting the log statement, or are we counting the log statement and not the import?
I'm not too worried about it.
If I were given a choice between one in five chance of death by cancer, or a one in six chance of death by Russian roulette, I'm going to take the Russian roulette it doesn't matter that it's a dumb game. What matters are my better odds.
This isn't to say that we should accept people playing Russian roulette it's just that if Russian roulette is a cure for cancer then we got to accept those stats.
Now if we're going to compare active safety functions to Russian roulette with rubber bullets, then maybe the FDA should mandate Russian roulette with rubber bullets.
This matches siblings comments where employees experience burnout more probably because employees are rarely rewarded for their best work. But executives and entrepreneurs are.
I suppose even if the reward is intangible that protects from burnout.
Just recently on Hacker News I saw someone making jokes about this lawsuit being spurious.
Oh gosh, now I'm on a tangent.
Rather than defend "this was not spurious" I'll just say that's how our legal system is set up. The legislative branch is not interested in making reasonable laws, and/or creating capable regulating bodies like most other modern countries. Your recourse here is to sue, hopefully there is an appropriate decision, and it's taken as precedent. Of course we've gone further in that direction in recent history.
