Planetscale has better performance and uptime. But the branching keeps me going back to neon…

Yes planetscale can branch too, but it takes longer and you pay individually for each branch

Xata is open-source now, maybe you can give it a try as an alternative to Neon.

Weird. Works great in cities for me. It’s been more than fancy cruise control for awhile.

This is HN where people using text files only is the best way to do things and being semi-Luddite is the way.

FSD is amazing. Any notion it takes more effort to use it than driving is made up.

But Starlink satellites are low enough that we don’t worry too much about Kessler Syndrome at that altitude, right?

Orbital collisions are very energetic and definitely do launch debris into higher orbits with much longer decay times

Those threat researchers and their autonomous agents caught this axios release.

I'd be fine if it autofilled one city from the zip code, which for me is always wrong. I can tab to the field and type in the correct city. Don't even need a drop-down with the possible cities. And if I don't fix it, it doesn't really matter for USPS. They just care that the ZIP is correct.

My daughter one day told me that her Tesla said it needed oil maintenance. I scoffed and tried to mansplain to her how EVs don’t need oil. Then I checked the car, and sure enough, it was asking for oil. One of the contained oil systems had sprung a leak. That’s on a 6 year old Tesla Model X.

You don’t have to take your shoes off anymore!

Starlink satellites aren't geostationary.

The parent comment wasn't specifically addressing Starlink.

The reason is listed in the second half of the block you quoted.

Read up on time dilation and special relativity. Time absolutely does pass slower for you as you accelerate.

You two are talking about different meanings of "time".

Traveling 5,000 LY at 0.5 c will cause you the spaceship pilot to age 20,000 years. It's non-relativistic, inside that inertial frame. Clock second hands still sweep slow but noticeable circles.

Meanwhile, everyone outside of the spaceship is happening FAST, by your observations. You'll see stars turn red and go supernova.

The journey will take 10,000 years for an external stationary observer and about 8695 years for the pilot.
