Hello from Seattle! I’m here for the fall working on flight software for literal internet satellites and having the time of my life. Hope you’re enjoying life as much as I am!
Out of interest roughly how much "flight capacity" (self motion ability post orbit injection) do literal internet satellites have? Are we talking small gas thrusts, magnetorquer's, etc? If it's mag torque, how much GMF modelling is involved?
Thanks so much for posting this, I love the spirit of it. I'm passionate about my sobriety journey. I just got home from a dinner party of ex coworkers and friends. Being the only one not drinking is hard for me and a huge change. I used to lead the charge with booze, it was the thing that took my crushing anxiety away. It made everything more fun. Well, that can only last so long when you abuse it so much and it fuc…
Pissing blood and on pain meds here in Seattle, and loving your post. HN is by far my favorite site. Every once in a while we get something out of left field like this for a bonus. Oh, and I’m cobbling together a tech publishing product when I can think straight. Thank you, stranger-yet-not-stranger!
I converted my mountain bike to an ebike and I’m having a blast with it! I just moved to Oakland and there’s pretty good bike infrastructure here, so I can use the bike for transportation even for relatively large distances.

Every dollar that was spent would be published publically. All source code would be made free and permissive, open source. Users would always own their own data and could frictionlessly share with each other.
There would be no advertisements. All analytics would require explicit opt in and be visible to the general public.
The app would be localized to all languages, using heuristics and machine learning to perform the bulk of the translations, with human verification.
The app would be an attention focuser, calendar, general search, peer-to-peer connecting, encrypted, public monstrosity. It would be subtle and discrete, running just out of reach of direct human interaction.

I am happily working on my startup/side-gig this weekend:
What’s New Zealand like? Imagine if you gave hobbits computers and then travelled 200 years into the future!
If anyone here is in Auckland and would like to geek out sometime hit me up.
I'm unfortunately not passionate about much nowadays; in treatment for stage 4 cancer, so I'm fairly exhausted all the time. I'm glad I can still maintain my cognitive abilities during chemo so I can still do my job.
