In December 2022, SpaceX announced Starshield[1], a separate Starlink service designed for government entities and military agencies.

I use Safari instead of Chrome when I want twice the autonomy, and it's really strict to websites trying to play media without interaction. It doesn't even start loading YouTube videos until I click the giant play button. You never even see that button in Chrome, and I can't believe how much I now miss that basic sanity check. Chrome will even start playing dozens of tabs simultaneously if I open a collection of tabs from Bookmarks. Really think there should be a setting that enforces the requirement of initial interaction before playback on every site in all browsers.

Note that everyone had access to the Inbox API at the time. We made an art project highlighting the invasiveness of such broad access:

"E-dentity is a project that asks a participant to login to its Facebook account, then takes his/ her private data from their profile and automatically prints them in an understandable booklet that is handed to the user. This booklet seeks to raise awareness of the hidden data we are sharing which we are often not aware of."

Maybe spend a couple bucks on bringing closed captions to video AMAs. I clicked the link to the embed featured in the article, and it's 20 min of unsubtitled speech.

Would have been nice to log in with the Touch ID on the iPhone before they added the reader to keyboards.

Interesting to see that the passenger in the video contradicts that explanation with his testimony of the pilot saying the instruments went blank for a few seconds.

You only need to smooth on approach. Something like `transition: left 200ms ease-out` in CSS should have you covered most of the time. Alternatively, you can build any kind of interpolation by replacing the `ease-out` function with the `cubic-bezier(...steps)` keyword: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/easing-func...

I agree that there's substantial qualitative difference between sub-pixel antialiased text and the plain render. The former takes advantage of greater lateral resolution and perceptual differences between the primary colors. That said, I wouldn't consider the absence of that technique jarring. I intentionally change bright-on-dark text to greyscale antialiasing[1], to counter the halation[2]. All the links to images in the thread and the Reddit post you linked are dead, so I can't see how the text rendered for you. Did you by any chance experience this on a MacBook connected to an external monitor, where you had the system set up to render type better on the built in screen[3]? Your point holds though, they don't optimize for 3rd party hardware. I was a bit quick to jump in, thinking you were referring to the difference between their flavour of sub-pixel antialiasing and Microsoft's ClearType[4].

> Apple avoids trouble and work by always using HiDPI displays. Attach a MacMini to a non-HiDPI display and you could recognize that the font rendering is awkward.

You may personally find the output awkward, but typographers will disagree. They didn't always have high density displays. They did always have superior type rendering, with output more closely matching the underlying design. Hinting was used, but they didn't clobber the shapes to fit the pixel grid like Microsoft did.

Stick with `elodin` everywhere. Make sure to register the vendor name at all the package managers for languages you might make a library for.

One Google-owned TLD I wish others could use is .new:

I didn't realize this spelling mistake was so pervasive (80k GitHub results). Seems to be related to Katalon Studio (https://katalon.com/)

Apple UI blur & vibrancy[1] look smooth without having to introduce noise. They have the advantage of owning the entire pipeline with phones & laptops, but the effect is decent even on budget external displays.

I'm not partial to any side in this debate, but the second table in the linked document is called "LOAN / BAILOUT SUMMAY"

Starting OpenAI as a fork of Scientology from the get go would have saved everyone a great deal of hair splitting.

Do disable buttons. You can keep an isSubmitting value around for tracking form state. This does not forbid using the disabled property.

Relevant: 12ft.io was banned by Vercel, taking down the developer's entire account with multiple other hosted projects & domains: https://twitter.com/thmsmlr/status/1718663563353755982

Edit: Access to other projects & domains was apparently restored some time after: https://twitter.com/thmsmlr/status/1719480558932148272

Let's stay constructive and just go with sheet metal for V1 then ;-/

Woah, quantified shelf market is done for. Point taken. Idk, Boston Dynamics Zoo? How is that more ethical though :$

Should be able to avoid cliffs without a radar. You can always add it back later anyway.

This is hardly trolling. I just birthed 12 startups.

Man, I can't even begin to imagine what they're going to come up with. Titanium AIPods. Non-detachable alluminum RayBans. Google Glass, but it's a literal Black Mirror worn on your face. Self-driving Segway. Transparent plastic smart lunchbox. Electric long-board that's also a tablet. Fist-mountable selfdefense impact jackhammer. 5G base station Zurb ball. A keyboard that starts repeating nnnn when you think of what you want to type. Neuralink, but for discreetly listening to major record label IP. Contact lens payment system where you wink to tip your landlord. Quantified shelf. A car without a steering wheel, made entirely out of Corning glass. Heelies that auto-reverse when they sense an oncoming homeless person. Van-life, but it's a sentient executive jet plane. Longevity device that puts you to sleep for at least 8 hours every day. Intimacy fit-ring. Schedulable dopamine-inhibiting nanobots? This could be huge.

Better start burning down the libraries too then? Preserving customer data with their explicit consent isn't related to data retention rules in privacy laws.

Make clear suggestions, or just do better yourself.

I remember following the story at the time, and this is quite the opposite of what the general public was told.

Came across this service last Friday:
