IMO the alternative would be for GitHub to have a lightweight process for creating a PR that doesn't require me to copy the project into my namespace.

You might be able to find them on ADS-B Exchange, either live or in the historical data sets. They are somewhat famous for only using citizen-sourced ADS-B data and refusing all requests to delist or hide data (allegedly anyway). It looks l

Eww it is not the car's job to enforce speed limits. More nanny state nonsense.

You can get "unlimited" for $150/mo but then they talk about "Mobile Priority". Their pricing page is kind of a mess to be honest.

I don't quite understand that. It's not like sending an SMS to my phone is any more secure or harder to access than sending an email to my phone. Additionally, many seem to want a "real phone number", not a VoIP number l

They often want your phone number for anti-fraud or anti-sybil reasons. If they have free accounts, requiring a phone number helps prevent you from creating a new account to evade a ban and makes it easier to link bad behavior across accoun

I like FIDO U2F as a second factor, although you always need a fallback of some kind in case you are stuck using a device without a USB port. I don't like it as a single factor, as most devices make it hard or impossible to back up you

I once tried to buy a domain which contained the word "Google" from Namecheap, but I was rejected with an error telling me that I needed to contact support and show that my use of the trademark was approved by Google. So instead I

Yeah why would a library of all places be upset about Anna's Archive? Their whole mission is sharing and preserving knowledge.

Yeah these days I'm mostly playing either Helldivers 2 or Call of Duty. I used to play a lot of Warframe and Overwatch. My experience was that Overwatch worked great (a bit slower than Windows on the same hardware but still fine) while

Same for Linux. I only use my Windows machine for gaming these days. I'd love to get rid of the second computer under my desk.

The drone used in that situation is the "Little Ripper Lifesaver" which supposedly sells for around $50k[1]. From TFA, the cost for the boat was around $12k. That means this is about 4x more expensive, not 20x. That doesn't i

How about a flying drone that drops an inflatable from a few meters above the struggling swimmer?

I also have both, but only because I can get HDDs for $10 to $20 per TB while SSDs still cost $50 to $100 per TB.

Does the below ground part of the tank have pumps to supply water to the above ground part to get pressurization?

Right, but are its labels of the state actually incorrect? I don't know well enough how to check.

Looks interesting! Is the latency low enough for it to feel natural? How's the Coqui speech quality?

It would have been nice for the author to label the states and explain how and why they chose the states that they did. Otherwise, it's hard to understand how to apply this sort of thing to larger problems.

by aftbit 2y ago
Why? Because it's wrong? If it were correct, wouldn't it be useful?

It's not at all the same thing, but I always wished Project Silica[1] would take off. I want durable, scalable write-once storage that I can put in a file cabinet for decades and then reliably read. 1: https://www.microsoft.

If you can build a PC or configure a consumer router, you can set up an ATA. Just make sure to buy the right ATA (one that supports pulse dial). Then find a half-way decent VoIP provider.

Why don't you answer the question though? Is it actually cheaper to use solar power in Michigan or Ohio than it is to use fossil fuels? Our local water company sure didn't think so, as an engineer there told me that they had been

Sure, in Australia, which is one of the best places for renewable power in the world. Is the same thing true in Germany or the US midwest? What about in the winter when it is dark and still?

Wow, I never considered a power attack from software of an untrusted OS. Ring -1 and SGX and the like lead to some very harsh security environments for modern processors. IMO if you want cryptographic security, you should probably use an ex

Ah I see, taking a page from the Google playbook and aggressively culling less popular products. I wonder how many sales Google's reputation for capricious culling has cost them.
