“RF Mapping” or open sourced SIGINT? So many issues here. The IC at least has to abide by the constitution (fourth admenment, hello?). What does HE360 have to abide by? Entire company is full of ex-IC contractors and government employees. S

The cost of takeaway/delivery has gotten absurd. I was looking at my deliveroo account the other day (UKs door dash) which has my order history all the way back to 2018. The drop-off in my usage and the increase in price post-Covid is

Yes. Because when Americans “spy on” other Americans they have to abide by the fourth amendment. China does not.

Glad to see pydantic get mentioned here. It’s a great solution for this exact problem. I was introduced to it by FastAPI and have been using it in all my projects since. At the end of the day you really can’t escape typing. It just makes li

These animations are incredible. Still can’t believe the price that people are paying for NFTs. I’m all for dropping money on art, but when inflation is at “8.5%” and you see the amount of money these are selling for…

As an expat currently in the UK - my electric tariff is about to go from .18p per kWh to .36p. Gas is doubling as well. Most homes here have awful insulation, so I’ll be looking at 230gbp a month for my little two bedroom apartment. It’s cr

The reporters are asking tough (but correct) questions. The government is also doing its diligence to protect sources and methods. The thing to remember, though, the point of releasing this information is probably to prevent Russia from usi

I’m glad I’m not the only one who strictly enforces a no-shoe house policy (I mean, have you seen the piss puddles men stand in at the urinal?).

This is surreal. I’m a US expat living/working in the UK. Mostly disconnected from US media. Those of you living in LA… is it really this bad?

The political posts on here are amazing though. You get well thought out arguments from both sides. The only downside is the down voting/silencing of people’s opinions when the masses at HN don’t agree. The down vote feature should be

One of the reasons I tend to lurk more than post. It’s disappointing to throw out an opinion and get attacked for it. I’m fine if you disagree (and I look forward to it) but it seems like some are conditioned to be offended by others opinio

It’s always more convenient to blame the messenger. There is a serious lack of responsibility placed on the users of Facebook. Maybe the world would be a better place if everyone had to read the Allegory of the Cave.

Expat living in the UK here. One of the first things I had trouble finding here was good pizza. I tried everything in the town I live in and couldn’t find something to satisfy the craving (I even resorted to Pizza Hut and Papa John’s just h

How did we get to a point where we think it’s OK to tell someone what they should do with their body? For the record: I am vaccinated and I always encourage others to do so. But what is the difference between someone choosing to not vaccina

Check out “eigenfaces.” It’s straight forward and works reasonably well. There are a lot of interesting applications of PCA and SVD. Signal and noise separation, machine learning, the list goes on.

Am I the only one who finds some of these representatives impressively... unimpressive? And don’t even get me started on the format. How are we supposed to set an example for the world when our representatives won’t even let the CEOs of som

Fiduciary duty is to the shareholders. There is a misconception that you are not a shareholder. Do you have a 401k? A pension? Any investments? Everyone benefits, even if you're only getting a few dollars from the dividend payment. Rat

I appreciate your points. I should have re-read my post before I submitted. My intention wasn't to bash the public sector, but to try to point out some of the philosophical differences between the two.

Sure, but if his friends had to work 20-30% more then there is an obvious disconnect. Individual A and B both make $200k a year. Individual A made that by giving an hour long speech. Individual B made that by working all year. On paper they
