   I didn't realize this was a sub 100k flight... wow. What a sad regression. I went to Vandeberg in 2004 to watch the X-prize launch which actually hit 100k. It was anticlimactic as an event... No confident confirmation of the accomplish

   It wasn't a negotiated line item, but more that we had a specific ask, and the agency we were engaged with had a particular expert available if we could wait > a month. This didn't directly affect the cost - which maybe I shoul

   Speaking from a buyer's perspective (I've managed about three penetration tests) they costed around 10-15k per person week-ish. The cost can be adjusted depending on how experienced the testers are, timing (I need it now vs I need

   I rooted my 2 and not my 1 without knowing the risk! Turned out fine but I wasn’t too adventurous.

   Submerged shipping containers seem like a fantastic platform for military remote sensing.

   I find this interesting, and I expect the primary focus of HN members will be privacy and control of answers and responses.

   A quick google search of the product name (BG-E8 5G Signal Jammer) from the pictures in a linked article[0] indicate it costs a few hundred dollars and uses 30W, with a range of about 250m. Wonder how modified it can be, or how varied those

   Interesting take, I don't want to assume which you mean, but it seems like the pledge is pure propaganda, that said I find it more troubling when knowledge is intermixed with propaganda. At least pure propaganda is not trying to convin

    Yeah, I am not doubting the author at all, but I built a lot of computers for myself and others in the 90s, and maybe I just don't remember, or maybe I always had two cables, one for each drive, but I distinctly remember setting jumper

    How do you make a scale of comparison between the two?

    This is covered in the article. Also, most Nobel winners are notable for their work long before winning the actual prize.

    Not everyone only risks mild disease, the vaccine isn't 100% effective on anyone and some have less ability to defend against the virus. Elderly, and immunocompromised are the ones who willfully unvaccinated people put at risk. I don&#

    That’s a fair point. I still think it’s true that they will now experience life differently from you so prepare for that. Don’t worry about how you compare to them, focus on your own goals near and long term and maybe they can invest in a f

    It’s hard to sus an absolute percent but my best guess from some figures is 5% but I could be way way off.

    Interesting tidbits from the paper[0]: Negritos diverged from Papuans 53kya! They estimate the East Asian influx as being only about 2200ya! Wild to imagine what pressures caused those two events. [0] https://www.cell.com/cu

    This is so cool, I love seeing people derive interesting remote sensing data from nonstandard sources!

    I expect any powerful nation could “share” with a desperate ally or otherwise leverage them into adopting the same database, creating a false overlap.

    I’m surprised they didn’t have this thing imaged and further forensics done on it. Certainly numerous device logs show other useful information. Maybe they did, and I missed it though, or it was intended as a read only device in the field.

    I am disappointed that none of their messaging at all attempts to explain how the feature won’t be further misused (by governments or others, quietly or loudly) in the future.

    Pretty surprising NASA didn’t refute the claim, but I guess there’s no point in escalating.

    Reminds me of the trick of shining a laser on a window and recording its fluctuations from sound vibrations on the window surface. The linked method is simpler and uses the LED power level which dips when speakers are operating to correlate

    I haven’t done any research on this so feel free not to respond, but how would that work with the Internet? Both practical and regulatory issues seem impossible to resolve.
