I'm confused what "full color" here means? As I understand James Web has a range of 0.6 μm – 28.5 μm across all it's instruments (specifically NIRcam has range 0.6 μm - 5 μm), that's less than half the visible spect

gosh 1$/80 searches is somewhat expensive... are these pure infrastructure costs or does this include development costs which I hope would scale down as the search engine grows?

Awesome, I've been using kagi for a couple months now, and it's been awesome! I love thee ability to open internet archive quickly or bump the ranking of certain sites. I am still a little confused about the pricing situation thou

I've done this with Instagram in the past, and funnily.. after a few emails back and forth.. they just reinstated my account..? and told me to download my data the normal way.

Gosh the whole p2p situation always reminds me of https://xkcd.com/949/ , even with webrtc being a thing, I just never could get it to work reliably for huge files, it's been far easier and faster to just run a qui

Wait... ETH had a premine? and with their move to PoS, It's basically a recipe for Rich becomes Richer. How do people not see the clear signs of a pyramid scheme wtf.

SNI is part of the Client Hello part of TLS, (it's needed so the server can decide the appropriate SSL certificate to reply with), and since this happens at start of TLS handshake, it's transmitted in plaintext. Many Firewalls (an

even better use DNS over HTTPS/TLS.

Oh related though, there was a draft floating around for DNS over QUIC too, which ofc uses udp. I wonder if it has similar issues?

Can I simply not choose the CT log I want to use and host my own CT log with my certs in there? If I can't doesn't this mean this effectively makes it so my cert has to be in Google's CT logs to be valid.

Oh and I forgot to mention, notice how I say we need to throw something with "momentum" and not "mass", this is because think of photons, they don't have a rest mass, but they have momentum! and all you need to mak

Satellites in low earth orbit (think Starklink, ISS) orbit around like 300-600 km height. At this height the the atmosphere is pretty thin but not negligible and these satellites slow down over time due to drag. For this reason they often h

well the project will stop dead right in tracks if a bus carrying the entire population of earth were to crash into a river, so I'd say the bus factor is very much finite.

it is posts like these I sometimes want a reminder for, does HN have a !remindme equivalent of reddit? P.S. I'm just making this comment so I can keep a track of this.

Yup, at the same time it allows people to use USB-C for charging, which might easily be the case with some of those usb-c hubs that also provide charge to the device.

Oh yeah Samsung Devices are weird.. I think they even have a different fastboot implementation. But I do not think that represents "stock" android?

No? This is more like Apple telling a car company to allow any gas instead of only "apple approved gas" which is marked up by 30% in price. It doesn't mean that any company can just copy that car and put their label on it.

Frankly I think the current root/jailbreak situation on android is fine, I feel like there should atleast be a some technical barrier to that power.

But there is no need for the app to do that really, there are APIs like localstorage and IndexedDB in place to allow you to do all this clientside. Browsers have come a long way from just html renderers.

So this technically makes piracy legal, as losing as I'm not distributing the material, (or seeding it's torrent).

gosh I agree so much, I feel like sellers that expect customers to negotiate often would inflate the price to account for any potential negotiation, (So they can meet the customer in the middle). This means I have to spend time and energy t

IANAL, but I do not think patching a app violates any copyright at all, as long as you distribute the patches and download the app clientside. A very good example of this would be Bukkit (which itself is licensed under GPL) , which patche
