I don't know what software package they use, but there's a good chance that they were talking about the great (and FOSS) nothing-to-install* WebRTC group chat solution from Jitsi:
Well, how long they stay up depends on the orbit you put them in of course. In a cheap LEO or one that is highly eccentric they won't stay up too long, but at 575 km near circular orbit as with this launch they'll be up there for a while. If you put one in high geostationary orbit it will be stable for probably longer than our civilization.

Ok, fine. Then here's another example: If you translate Harry Potter into Klingon and try to sell it in your popular sci-fi bookstore you can expect to get a nasty letter from JK's lawyers.
Fair Use has its limits just as Derivative Work does. You can not whole-hog rip off another work's implementation or port code line by line to a new language without permission of the owner.
Meh, I taught my self Morse on the edge of that era with the aid of some free DOS-based software from a BBS. It really wasn't much more of an effort than learning to touch type, which I assume most of the people reading this at least have a feel for what it takes to learn that. It took some practice but any schmoe could do it if they put the effort in. If you are someone who learned to type Dvorak your mind could easily handle learning Morse.
The great practical advantage of Morse in my mind is that it will get a message through on a poor signal where voice is impossible, and doesn't require any additional modulation equipment beyond what you have on your shoulders to make it work. So I didn't feel the least bit put out that they removed the Morse test soon after I'd put in the work to learn it. I never really understood what the fuss was about really.
I'll stick to C++ on Ardunio myself but programming Arduinos with Python, toolchain-free, is now a thing thanks to small onboard flash storage, complex but hidden bootloaders, and more powerful microcontroller chips such as the Cortex M4.
Wait for the SEC report in a few days to be sure if they have reached this completely arbitrary threshold. And as always, it's as much the rate of chance as the instantaneous absolute value that matters.
And NYC's elevation is 10m. So it will take 5000 years or so for it to be inundated.
Yeah, no. For one thing the outcrop of Manhattan Schist in the middle of Central Park is not "NYC", and for another a large part of lower Manhattan*, western Brooklyn, and northern Queens was underwater during Hurricane Sandy which had a surge of about 13 feet (4m). Due to rebound of the continental plate since the last glaciation the city is already sinking at a rate of about 1 foot per century, and most of the gravity driven sewers were built more than 100 or 200 years ago when sea level was lower. Most of the subway entrances are staircases down from street level.
NYC has some serious problems. Maybe not as bad as Miami, but there's more infrastructure to deal with.
Stop spreading lies.
* just maybe the financial district has some huge impact on the national GDP, even if it is shut down for one day?
My vote would be to send a big yellow school bus into LEO full of K-12 experimental cube sats. Kids could communicate with it in science class. I'm sure there is enough know-how in the amateur radio community to help pull this off without ongoing expense to SpaceX or NASA. Plus folks at home could point their tracking telescopes at it and the hubble could check in on it at the start of each April.
The payload can be silly and useful at the same time.
I had a similar experience many years ago playing Rogue. I quaffed a potion with a funny name because I couldn't carry any more and it made me feel warm all over. It probably was not as spiritual as yours, but I seem to remember that it was fun and tasted great.
delays in the early part of the exponential growth curve simply mean that the curve moves to the right, not that the curve will not be exponential once it gets started. judging future performance on the first few months of production is silly.
> Thus the actual increase in performance is very, very, very little.
Nope. CAS latencies are measured in clock cycles, so what you are seeing is the latency for the first read remaining at about 9ns. As the frequency increases the number of cycles it takes before 9ns has passed increases as well. Overall observable latency stays about the same for the first read, but you gain from the higher frequency on subsequent reads.
If they do this, they will go down in the history books as the farthest people from the earth, I can see how a billionaire might be attracted to that.
I have a billionaire I would like to nominate for this trip. We can throw in Carrot Top for surprise entertainment, to be revealed sometime after launch.

I estimate moving goal posts. And a loss, as always predicted.
Final production numbers are now out by the way, 28,587 model 3's produced in Q2.
> Tesla has not yet reached 5000 model 3s per week. It's a false claim.

They'd be better off sending him one of these, although I'm not sure why this particular kit costs as much as it does and not $45.

Is the OLPC project still active? Haven't heard anything about them in ages.

Want to know the answer? There's an easy way. RTFA and find out! Amazing but true!
tl;dr +/- 5%. In some areas Clang does better, in others worse.

Polish language is an interesting exception -- "herbata" = "tea".
And of course "atabreh" in reverse Polish.

Is it really that hard to divide by three as you read?

Psssst there are more countries than America
A number of other continents too.
And despite that s/he knows who will take the blame for it.
"Sorry we didn't receive your payment, could you try again?"
yeah either that or the test was bullshit
