One thing those are good for is being a call center for white hat hackers. I.e. if you find some holes you can report to those agencies, and they'll take it from there. I know that…

Anthrax is "self-safe" too. It's an organism made by evolution.

And there's much new fun to be had when you have this many servers around. For example - once you start shuffling around tens of petabytes a day you quickly notice that bit flips a…

Renewables are great, but not deployed nearly quick enough: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_consumption Not an expert, but right now I only believe in solar geo-engine…

While I agree it sounds like their networking modules cross-talk too much - you still need to store the networking config in some single global service (like a code version control…

It's the superior format. Just like yyyy-mm-dd [hh:mm:ss.sss] is, because lexicographic string order matches the time order.

I'm 100% for progressive taxes (i.e. higher taxes on richer people). People should have decent lives even if they can't participate in the workforce/markets with great success. Als…

About the intro: how many more people (since Karl Marx) will rediscover the Pareto distribution and come to the conclusion that it should not be the case ... It's perfectly natural…

I'm confused. I simply don't work over 40 hours a week (average), don't want to lower my per-hour salary. Increased compensation for overtime would be the only thing to make me wor…

Shitpost: do all the things bad for stock markets at once. Tariff wars, not lowering interest rates despite inverted yield curve, antitrust against large players.

This is the big way for p-value science to fail, even if every actor is honest. It's obvious once you understand what a p-value is (it literally takes 5 seconds to understand) but …

It is a kind of crazy cult - believing that more money simply solves problems, and that we should have full employment. There's extensive historical record on governments going dra…

I once wrote a PostScript program that generates Mandelbrot, tuned it so that it finishes up in reasonable time, and sent to some old laser printer. On next day morning the machine…

This is not true. There are fake news that have existed for thousands of years (religion), and the mass communication seems to have a negative impact even on those strongholds of f…

I used to fly gliders (sailplanes). There are many cases of pilots landing on trees with minimal damage, sometimes even to the glider. Of course the huge wing span helps. Big aviat…

The upvote is too small too.

It just means that on a long enough timeline everyone's and everything's survival rate drops to zero. For NY it may be 50 years, may be 5000 years, may be 5B years.

Poorly done PR. Breaking News: The Suit is Back! http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html

You clearly have not worked on a codebase with thousands of tests. At my previous job the build system had an option to run a test N times concurrently in the cloud. I used this wh…

It is much cheaper than I thought. Thanks!

Touché. Where can I find such offers?

While I understand this will have superb latency, it's still not clear to me why would Starlink be cheaper than existing VSAT. VSAT is quite expensive (starting from ~thousand doll…

Interactive Brokers ~23 Billion. So between the 5 companies and Robinhood the latter would take ~4% of the market cap. It's not that much, but I feel you.

Apart from the launch method - how is this going to be different from existing VSAT deployments? They're quite expensive (starting from ~thousand dollars per month): http://www.mel…
