Ya this is what I was thinking this was when I first saw it, until I saw the price.

A lot of them come in 5000 iu or 10,000 iu capsules. So 1 or 2 a day.

$8-10 a month would be awesome, and they would probably make a ton of money using that subscription model. It's short sighted that they don't do this.

As a non-tennis player, I'd agree, this is impressive and fun.

Transactions on ethereum get processed from the mempool in order of who wants to pay the most gas to have their stuff processed.

And yes, ethereum has more potential for problems, it's a much more complicated system than bitcoin. Their current goals are proof of stake (getting away from energy wasting mining) and scalability. Bitcoin is great for what it's great for, being digital gold, but it's pretty far from replacing Visa, ethereum actually has a shot at that.

You know cmake exists because "make && make install" by isn't usually that easy, anything beyond a small CLI has a lot of dependencies, and breaks with minor version changes?

I don't see how this could all not fall apart. It seems like the divergence between the stock market and the rest of the economy, is going to be the biggest bubble that has ever been. Personally, I think it's going to be the end of the US dollar.

New comment by AtHeartEngineer in "Black Sky satellites return images just 58 hours after launch"

It's not about how fast you can task a satellite and get data back that the article is talking about.

It's taking about between when the satellite was launched, and when it was able to send images back down was 58 hours. That is impressive. In the past it would normally take a week or more to get a satellite into a stable orbit and do all the checkout tests. After that, sure, task away and get all the images you want.

To get started hacking satellites, you've got to communicate with them first

Targeting the $10-15 price range per month for the lower tiers is ideal. This would basically sit just under adobe's costs, but there wouldn't be the time investment of learning their tools, and the user doesn't need a beefy computer. There's also a good possibility that a small chunk of potential customers may only be using a phone.
