I am thinking there is likely a massive infrastructure behind Linux running on your device. And thanks to all those that support it.

Only just had a quick peep and play and I like it - looking forward to using Crystal more often on a tooling level. Nice work to date...

Of course, both are right, unless an AI is running ones home energy use, the bill payer needs to know in advance the expected pricing so they can plan use, and of course smart meters are required to implement the billing side.

Yes, pros and cons, its quite possible that by paying one then has enough breathing space to set up better defences.

Interesting, and in the second case, I admit I had never considered that Google must extend credit to some of its customers and that it likely some of them won't pay and in this regard Google have to do what everyone else does and take

I would guess the 99% will report you in and road law and the courts will do the rest. Perhaps the 99% will gang up on you ;-)

As a skydiver - slow and carefully is better, but with that one becomes quicker as one does when practising lots. The number of jumps one can have in a day is limited by aircraft availability rather than packing speed. So of course there ar

So reading between the lines - the bracket holding the helium tank (inside the oxygen tank) broke, the helium tank ripped away from it's plumbing (pressure lines and valve(s)) and the high pressure gas contained in it escaped into the

Sweet and totally within the spirit of RaspberryPi. Thanks for releasing it. PS. 3K sample/sec is good enough for a lot of work on sensors and also for the youngish to get a handle on how to do ADC and process it - who knows some young

Yes it's a good thing (for the tinkerers of this world) and I suspect its a long term view for MS. If young tinkerers can tinker away on some of the cool hardware out there leveraging MS products/tools for free (in the same way th

My bad. Sadly or luckily it's close to being exactly on other side of the world from me and while I do use maps to help me place things, this time I didn't or if I have in the past, I've forgotten (it happens).

Seems like everyone and their dog has a radiation detector in Russia esp. around Chernobyl, not something ones sees in the west.

I generally use Thunderbird and while I have not checked what it does in all cases, it generally flags when there is remote content and provides options regarding loading it. I'm happy with that. I know many folk of course use web base

Thanks, that would explain that. I was impressed by how small the barge looked compared with the F9 it's clever that the F9 can autonomously target such a small area. If they keep targeting 'Just Read the Instructions' by the

What's the difference between the tests on earth (as seen on youtube etc) where the engine runs the whole time and seems to display good throttle control and this type of landing?

Not quite, if the wind is too strong the blades feather (edge on to the wind) brakes exist but are puny and are only for maintenance use. Some blades have a tip that the rotates and causes high drag in the event of feathering failing and go

This is really cool - have a read of the tutorial it presents what's going on in a concise manner. Makes it all seem quite simple... until it gets to the end. "Nice work" to the author.

Sandstorm - this is wickedly cool, tried the demo and it worked great, can't understand all the 'do this, do that' comments. As someone who is just learning to play with docker - just finished dockerizing all my vps apps so t

One of the more realistic news feed titles for this event. Yes sir, SpaceX nailed the launch, it was awesome to watch, more goodies on the way to the ISS - I hope the rest of the mission goes well.

The fact that there was a storm that could cause icing (perhaps due to super cooled water, or is it super chilled water) could have been shared thus giving AF447 a greater opportunity to avoid it, which could/would have meant the pitot

To add to the fray: https://yunohost.org/ is an option too for easy install and setup of a mail server - there was a recent HN item on them a while back. Been using it for a month or two and it's worked great so far. N
