Wireless sensors, synthetic aperatire radar, aerial surveillance all are things that exist. These things have existed since Vietnam and are significantly better now than they were then. The record for Lorawan sensor mad range was ~1,300 km

Lookup beauty berries. Their fruit is edible and makes a nice jam. True to their name, they’re beautiful when fruiting.

How did you apply? For something fast growing / invasive like a Bradford pear, or a honeysuckle, you really need to get Glyphosate into the roots for it to die. I was taught this trick by an Arborist: Cut the tree down and leave 4-6” a

What’s grifty about nasa space flight? They’re a private news org that does incredible coverage of SpaceX and spends funds doing as such. They’re mostly donation driven but they don’t solicit them really. They just thank folks that do on th

Would you be shocked to know that US dollars are used more for both money laundering and funding terrorism than cryptocurrencies? Should we outlaw US dollars due to facilitating unethical uses?

The conversation was not about views on blockchain. The conversion was hetzner decided a client running several hundred nodes was suddenly running afoul of the ToS after running happily almost four years and they cut off all access without

Yeah, that’s definitely not what we were doing buddy. Keep the politics out of this please. We don’t accept any customer money either for this usage. Zero. Those nodes secured the network and were also used for analysis of hacks and forensi

Most of the Hetzner DdoS come from gaming fyi. They’re pretty good at handling them but we’d get paged every few months due to this. Our uptime is better since we left hetzner. We went with a host that’s more commonly used for electronic tr

Indeed. Some bad actors (which is most of the industry) ruin it for those of us who just want to build cool tech. Very annoying.

We read their ToS. Our lawyers read their ToS. It has a vague “we can kick you off if we choose to” part, but removing service with no recourse was not ok. So we told them we would sue them if they didn’t give us access to shred sensitive d

Likely. We put the accounts db in memory (on a tmpfs) to mitigate this and were paying them for a beefcake node with 1T of memory.

Their ToS did not reference blockchain at the time. This is why our lawyers got involved. This was updated after they caused an outage unannounced for a service running almost four years. Google actually offers blockchain rpc. Fwiw, Solana

They stated that AFTER they just cut the network access to the hosts. It isn’t as though we were doing anything ethically or legally wrong. We were running rpc nodes for legit applications and a validator to secure the network. For me, who’

This is not a proof of work (bitcoin or pre merge ethereum) node and it does not use more electricity. They singled out solana seemingly and I’m unsure why. We moved about 300 services off of dedicated higher end Hetzner nodes within a week

FYI do not run blockchain related software on Hetzner nodes, even their dedicated bare metal. They are likely to shut the host down. I was running a Solana Testnet Proof of Stake validator for work and they decided to shut the host down at

My point was that Russia is a large extremely natural resource rich country. It has a lot of culture and a lot of people. It would be much better off exporting goods to the west instead of continuing the Cold War. It should in theory be abl

I concur. What he stood for was a more free, open, and democratic Russia. In reality, if Russia was more friendly with the west, it would be 100x more prosperous. It is really a shame the old Chekists are still in charge. As large as the Ru

On that we totally agree. Orban is the top goon for sure, but he's not the only one, and there are several in the wings trying really hard. The fact that LePen has done as well as she has twice now is in and of itself horrifying.

To him this is likely "a mild disagreement" as ukrainian civilians are being actively targeted by Russian missiles. Quite a tone deaf and horrible point of view.

Navalny has always been a supporter of a concept referred to as "Russkiy Mir"[1] and has spoke at length about it. It is a weird ethno religious philosophy which shows the bounds of the russian country extend far past the borders

The US imports more goods from Mexico than China, but we do import a lot of stuff from China. It is clear from both sides that is problematic. They've been exporting less AND we have been moving supply chains to import less from them.

Navalty had some pretty scary things to say about Ukraine as well. To summarize: He thought there are no differences between Ukranian people and Russian people, he thinks that Crimea is rightfully Russia's (finder's keepers!), and
