Wait, do all Philips Hue bulbs come with Zigbee, even the Bluetooth ones? I had to reverse engineer their Bluetooth, and it works, but obviously I'd prefer Zigbee. BTW, the Philips app is garbage in exactly the ways one would expect (r

AFAIK Blackwater was mostly for guard duty, but I'm sure in practice it wasn't just for that. There's also a lot of smaller orgs out there that do "guard duty", not just american (for example britain is also active)

You also need knowledge and craft to get people in other countries' militaries to spy for you against their home country, yet this is done every day around the world. Compared to that (or compared to pretty much anything) FTX was a jok

Just wanted to add two things: 1) the so-called mad cows disease is also caused by prions - that's why it is so scary, 2) cannibalism, or any other loop in the food chain, causes retention and amplification of such diseases in a popula

Why did you not leave more or less immediately? I know that hindsight is 20/20, but still, it is pretty obvious you were not taken seriously at all.

Also how would software memory protection (like seen in JVM, JavaScript, Python, ...) be faster than hardware MMU? Hardware simply adds more transistors that run the translation concurrently. Faults are either bugs (segfaults) or features y

That record is only ~23 hours because it is a record within a very heavy weight class (14,000 kg+). There are many crafts similar to the one presented here that have done multi-day flights. This one can fly for months at a time: https:

How do you know that a RA has happened? You infer it from the flight paths? Also, I'd just add ads and some recurrent donations and see how it goes - it looks to me that you're the perfect person to run projects like these. It wou

This should be the top comment. TL;DR: HTTP/2 is internally concurrent, can handle multiple streams. It is possible in HTTP/2 to send a nasty request that looks like so: - GET x1 - GET x2 - GET x3 - ... - GET x100 -

The microwave RF emission is actually very narrowband, though the frequency drifts all the time. Bluetooth uses FHSS so it will eventually go though, unless the noise is so powerful that it saturates the receiver. I'd post a screenshot

It's required if you have a middle-manager-like job. Especially in a smaller company, you have to know (in this way) a whole lot of people, so that they pick up the phone if you call them.

There obviously are levels to being intimate. You can be more intimate with someone than with someone else. It also varies with time. A better way to look at those categories is that they are dominant archetypes (like eigenvectors) that are

Talking to the pilots costs about $200 and is really easy, though very illegal - just find out which ATC freq are they currently on and transmit, from a handheld radio or a HackRF. You could also transmit on Guard. If you prefer to text rat

You can also get an SDR (a $50 RTL-SDR will do) and listen to your own plane's ADS-B signal. For visualization you can use tar1090. Private Flightradar24. With the same SDR you can also listen to the ATC comms, as well as see ACARS mes

Not sure why this is downvoted, the comment is on point. Is it because it is partly gpt-generated content? I wonder if patching memory worked in the debugger, if not this would have to be done by manually editing the kernel file with IDA or
