This story is NOT TRUE. There is one operating satellite in this constellation, and congress voted to shut down the program in 2015. The DMSP program was discontinued in 2015 by a vote in congress[1]. Virtually every working stallelite in

There's a 4th possibility: This program was cancelled in 2015 and it finally ended. The replacement is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Polar_Satellite_System

It has nothing to do with 2025, this program was cancelled in 2015.

No, this was cancelled by congress in 2015 and switched to the JPSS program which is running and active.

Such hyperbolic comments! The DMSP program was discontinued in 2015 by a vote in congress[1]. Virtually every working stallelite in this program has failed. As best as I can tell there's just a single working one specifically NOAA-19[2

Same here, the correlation is not high at all. I think this would require individual level polling to get this data, blurring the data by district fuzzes things too much.

The article does not support the current HN title, not to mention that changing the title is against HN rules. Stick with the article title which is: "Brad Lander Detained by Masked Federal Agents Inside Immigration Court".

You could solve that by scanning across the skin, and immersing the side of the head and the detector in some kind of fluid that helps light transmission (avoids reflections on the skin), so you don't actually have to touch the skin.

I can't figure out how they would collect depth information from the resulting photon pattern. I believe reflected photons are much more useful, by measuring how long in between signal and response you can get flight time which tells y

Yes, less risk, but the image quality is non-existent - at least as of right now.

This only works on white patients, so if it actually becomes clinically useful it will be pretty controversial.

Does it actually improve speed though? The DB check is simply "does this key exist", it can be done in a memory database, it doesn't have to be the same DB as the rest of your data. Validating a token requires running encrypt

You only have to do that if you must validate a token, without having access to session data. I doubt most systems are like that, you can just use what you call "your actual token" and check if the session is still valid. Adding a

Evey place where public transit works (i.e. really big cities) already has it. And some places have more space and cars work fine there. You have some areas that are kind of a middle between the two, those have some trouble.

Not everyone wants to live in a dense city. I would say about half the population doesn't. Removing zoning (and I think they should - let people build what they want), will not make cities more dense, and that's fine - people shou

Public transit is the opposite of self sufficiency, public transit means dependence on others for your basic transportation. It can work fine in normal situations, but any kind of stress, and anyone without a car is completely stuck. Bad we

In even more practical terms, garbage is not shipped to other countries. That's not something that happens. Some recycling is bought by other countries, but they buy it to use it, not to stack it into artificial mountains.
