Yes and the most infuriating thing is the "we need to verify the security of your connection" text.

That's got nothing to do with perf tho.

That's just not even remotely true. After the PRISM stuff, folks got a lot more savvy with encryption. TLS has been tightened up a lot since then across many fronts (perfect forward secrecy, removing crap roots, certificate transparenc

It's interesting that they implement AWS bucket policies, including all AWS-specific syntax/keys/etc, even "arn": https://docs.hetzner.com/storage/object-storage/faq/s3-crede...

Right, but that's $25m in R&D investment. Much better than $6m in cost of good/services delivered! Former is great innovation and will be ignored by investors because it's just a fixed cost on the way to becoming profitab

Energy density on chemical batteries is orders of magnitude higher than e.g. gravity batteries. Also you don't need to rewire a mountain.

Seems kind of miserable to work under that bridge all day while trucks are driving over you?

You could also do some kind of distributed proof that they still have it: ask every host that claims to have a file compute the hash(prefix+content) of the file, where prefixes differ: distributed k prefixes to each client, and then compare

Does it support extensions like PostGIS?

It sounds like these are just issues with processes taking a long time. In other words, that there are long queues. Of course that is a problem too, but it sounds like there's less "active time" and it's more streamlined

The Finns strike again. Just the depth and number of different areas of expertise is insane to me. It seems he planned it all out, had it printed in China, and then 1/2 of the boards actually worked. That's like building a whole b

It is not: it's inspired by it. If you look carefully, the numbers are different. In Gary's picture, the cliff is from $29k to $69k or so; the one above is much wider. Also direct link: https://web.archive.org/web&

I mean this is how the US operates. Other countries continually try to refine their existing industries and societal structures. In the US, you let everything rot and hope that a hail Mary innovation comes out of somewhere and creates a bre

The main feature of that image is "childcare" which seems to be a fixed subsidy of $16k (and "CHIP", ~$4k related to child health care). I don't know what the former means and how these are calculated, but if you do

Your top comment sounded pretty sensible and fair but in your responses to comments you now just sound like a troll. Central planning works very well: that's how every corporation, city, and state works. It works well as long as you ap

Ah thanks for the corrections, I guess RTK is what uses the ground station/mobile receiver concept.

This does not really seem to be about measuring the earth; it's about more accurate GNSS. Then if you have very accurate GNSS you can also get more accuracy in the ITRF. Also to add context: there are many hurdles to hitting a 1mm accu

Apparently the US Navy has this kind of system for positioning of submarines to correct inertial navigation system errors. Allegedly they also have very good maps of large swaths of the ocean floor to make it useful.

Those are by and large many small matrices being multiplied, these results have nothing to do with that.

by amanda99 3y ago
No, these aren't practical algorithms. No one uses them in reality. The hope is that these small improvements will lead to new insights that will then lead to big improvements. I doubt how matrix multiplication will be done will really

I imagine they had a lawyer clear this and so there must be some convoluted argument by which they think this is fine. However, it still makes me lose trust in Cloudflare, this is pretty clear language to me that data is not used for anythi

Put a private domain there and it'll show you data from your usage of 1.1.1.1. On their page however, they claim "By contrast, 1.1.1.1 does not mine user data. Logs are kept for 24 hours for debugging purposes, then they are purge
