It's reasonable to suspect that the party in charge of handling the audio wouldn't have considered that latency to the end user between the two streams would make their release not synchronous.

They may even have thought that a few seconds could still be called synchronous, unaware of the advantage this presented in this particular case.


>a very quick way to end up in the round archive

I love this phrase


>A bubble does not have to be bad if you are using it on purpose

What a vacuous statement


That was my first though :)

Can't imagine trying to pump my data into someone elses pipeline and crossing my fingers for results!


The whole point is reproducibility. If you don't understand someone else's pipeline then you can't hope to reproduce their results.


Your website looks awesome, I really like the clean design.

Have you considered a trial extending to their first outage notification, rather than 14 days?

I would imagine if they don't see an outage in 14 days they're not seeing the value.

However if their trial expired following their first 'site is down' reminder - that's where your value comes in.

Just my $2c


That's really interesting, it never occurred to me before (because I've never seen such thing), but it makes sense. A lot of work happens in the background, and folks don't see the value until their website is down or their certificate is about to expire.

I'll investigate that. Appreciate the suggestion.


I think you're right - an essay should communicate a key thought, broken down in logical steps, coherently tied together. This is important for a whole host of skills.


I think a better way to describe it is ven diagrams:

conditional probability is just like, what proportion does A represent given B has already happened.

A might be small in the ven diagram box, but take up a larger area when constrained to only the part that B is in


not OP but

and what if the 50k figure never changes?

50k will conveniently be worth less over a few decades - the slippery slope is a built-in feature unless actively changed


pretty snarky to suggest facebook is the only way developing countries would utilise the internet. access to knowledge to better their lives, even turn them into astronomers perhaps


An argument could be made that the "access to knowledge" does mostly not require the high bandwidths which are being provided as the selling point of the Starlink satellites. Surely most parts of the world already have access to internet via mobile phones, existing communication satellites, or the access could be provided for much lower costs than with Starlink, by creating new infrastructure on the ground.
