I think the idea is it would look a bit like daylight, but only if you're in the area being lit (e.g. standing next to the solar farm), otherwise you wouldn't see it at all. But in practice, I'm not sure. I could imagine ligh

The article is extremely light on details, and I'm highly skeptical of the economics, though I do think its cool that they seem to be actively planning a demonstration mission. If nothing else, it would be neat to see the concept demon

Correct. A big part of the issue here is that Syncthing's Android app is more of a wrapper over the desktop app than an actual native Android implementation, so a lot of the code assumes the availability of certain features (like full

Charging for software features is fine. Tesla is spending a lot of money to develop their self driving software and its perfectly reasonable for them to expect to be paid for that. Charging to stop blocking the use of hardware features th

Interesting. Why a mast and not just the ground? Pull up the mooring lines (probably more than the amount needed to actually hold the ship, for redundancy), connect them to the ship, then pull on the lines with winches until the ship is on

What makes you think "docks with extremely strong mooring structures" is a particularly difficult problem to solve? A giant metal hook anchored in concrete attached to the ship with some steel cables doesn't seem like it woul

Why condense water from fuel or the air then when you can just connect to the local municipal water system? You're already at port!

You're missing the point. We're talking about the government potentially burning a 2 trillion dollar private company to the ground, and your response is to just shrug and say "oh well, the world will survive"? Yes, of co

If the only options are "full access to everything" or "no access at all" then users are going to pick the former every time, because there's no alternative. And worse, they'll get used to extensions requiring

If Google doesn't survive being broken up, then this move would be essentially nuking a 2 TRILLION dollar company into the ground for zero gain. Again, that's 2 TRILLION DOLLARS worth of value getting thrown onto a garbage pil

This isn't collateral damage though; Ryujinx's developers (read: "law-abiding folks") were the target of this attack by Nintendo. That piracy may be impacted as a result is incidental.

Of course it's not solely an attack on law abiding folks who own the game. But is is an attack on them nonetheless. Its also an attack on open source, software freedom, and digital preservation. Further, assuming there were legal t

I for one, am extremely impressed. Yes, its a prototype, and the cost makes these nonviable for consumer use at the moment. But this is a glimpse of the future! I thought it'd be another ~decade until anyone was able to cram fully-func

In this example everything is happening on U.S. servers, with U.S. employees, on U.S. soil. How is that "operating in" Iran or France? If someone physically flew over from Iran and talked to me in-person instead of over the intern

by Ajedi32 2y ago
Personally I would contend that none of that counts as "operating" in France or Iran. You're operating entirely in the US, and it would be ridiculous for Iran or France to try to subject you to their laws just because people

What does it mean to "operate" in a country though? If I operate a service in the US and have no servers in Iran, no employees in Iran, no physical presence in Iran whatsoever, but Iranians are communicating with me over the globa

Yeah, language can be a bit fuzzy around the edges. But when your objective is to overthrow your own government (or win independence for yourself, like the Kurds are), and you're not intentionally targeting civilians, I'd say that

I think the more relevant part in that particular case is "subnational groups". The USS Cole attack was obviously not an act of war by Yemen against the US, so it needed to be investigated as a terrorist attack instead. > The e

Title is wrong; they're still offering FSD for purchase, they just added "(Supervised)" to the name of the feature, which doesn't actually change anything since FSD has always required supervision (as the screenshot of t

According to that article Mercedes-Benz's system is exclusively highway driving. Technically level three, but not "full self driving" as most people would understand it, or as Tesla defines the term.
