The dearth of case law here still makes a negative outcome for FSF pretty dangerous, even if they don't appeal it and set precedent in higher courts. It might not be binding but every subsequent case will be able to site it, potentiall

The restrictions on GPS prevent ballistic missiles, not MANPADs. Typical limits are 515 m/s and 18,000 meters (try using your phone's GPS on a commercial flight, it works fine near a window). Update rate is probably the biggest is

My phone can regularly pick these up with a clear western view in Los Angeles. They're relatively low in the sky so they don't serve their intended purpose here, but I'm not complaining about having more satellites to lock on

Large fleet operators tend to self insure rather than having traditional auto insurance for what it's worth. If you have a large fleet, say getting in 5-10 accidents a year, you can't buy a policy that's going to consistently

>Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol is already illegal in every state. FWIW, your first OWI in Wisconsin, with no aggravating factors, is a civil offense, not a crime, and in most states it is rare to do any time or

If you look closely at the bottom one, almost all the components are slightly askew, while the top one has everything at neat 90 degrees. And a smaller IC almost always means the more modern/expensive IC. Same for the other components.

The counter argument is if you don't incentivize flipping enough, it is the prisoners' dilemma: the option of everyone keeping their mouth shut and potentially going free is too attractive compared to flipping.

In addition to sibling's comments about jamming and self driving safety, there are many driving situations where there is no or poor GPS reception: tunnels, double deck bridges, double deck freeways, underpasses, urban canyons, actual

My guess would be: 1. Car entered ferry, loses GPS 2. Car entered dead reconning mode used for tunnels and such 3. Car left ferry, acquired GPS Then either: 4a. Location via dead reconning vasty disagreed with GPS because the car doesn&#x27

From my experiences with people at Apple, everyone seems so siloed that it doesn't surprise me that they couldn't help him. It doesn't seem like they have the culture where you could just drop by the Apple fraud team and ask

There's a 3rd failure: the failure to install/upgrade dolphins that could deflect a modern containership, despite the identified need for such. That proposed project seems cheap in retrospect.
