I feel like this massively overstates the advantages of an AWS to satellite link. They aren’t going to put tiny regions in space, so it’s just about data transit. Nobody would suggest AWS should start a cell phone company or fiber ISP just for bundling that with AWS. IP, possibly with a VPN, is a very solved issue for AWS access. It’s how 100% of their customers use AWS now, after all.

Which projects do you think have particularly high quality and easy to work with data? I was using that but it’s so messy...

Something like sendgrid?

I’m pretty sure iPhones do put it in. You should exif dump an iPhone XS image. INSANE what’s in there.

The orgo night performance is one of the big events of the semester. Every student knows when and where it is, so nobody will be surprised or pranked.

As others have said, this is a big loss for what little school community there is, and is very in keeping with university administrator style.

Actually need to go PA to right near OAK to SFO within just a few hours in the next few days. If they had a 9:30pm OAK->SFO I would have probably booked it at that price. $215 compared to $100 with Lyft...

I've been enjoying some minor woodworking as a purely hobby. I agree, it's great fun, and I think there is some common idea along with building software.

Wondering what you've found to be a reasonable amount of income vs work for sale? I'm not really interested in making money, but covering costs and feeling satisfaction would be good.

It's strangely beautiful, especially for something educational. A slow moving version of the animations as a wallpaper would be cool.

From the source article: Employing a catalyst made of copper nanoparticles embedded in spikes of carbon, the team found that electricity applied at just 1.2 volts was sufficient to convert CO2 suspended in water into ethanol.

From the abstract: Herein we report a common element, nanostructured catalyst for the direct electrochemical conversion of CO2 to ethanol with high Faradaic efficiency (63 % at −1.2 V vs RHE) and high selectivity (84 %) that operates in water and at ambient temperature and pressure.

It's not that the cell is small. It's that it has a single respondent representing it, so his weight is increased enough to be the equivalent of 30 respondents.

Yup, that's literally the definition of VCs. Instead of a single LP having to choose one startup to invest their $10M into, they buy shares in the dozens of startups that the VC then invests in. The risk and reward is shared between all the LPs in that fund.
