In the UK, new smart meters can apparently function as a mesh network and forward readings through each other. They also use "Long Range Radio" instead of 2g/3g service in some locations. https://www.smartme.co.uk&

I once took the train while backpacking from Hamburg to Copenhagen. I was incredibly surprised when part way through the journey I awoke on a ferry. It still blows my mind that they have a train that can roll on and off a ferry. Unfortunate

Probably, at least on the software side! But then I'd need to find a RAID enclosure and a something to run OMV on. The NAS was around £150 with all that built in

As someone who normally rolls their own and has a half dozen raspberry pis around the house, I have a Synology NAS. As you said, it's very low energy and zero noise (rubber feet and quiet fan). It's also effortless to set up and r

You're probably right about the default response. The gate agent somewhere like Southwest is more likely to get in trouble for giving away too much free stuff than too little. I already check HN when a big web service is down. The time

I don’t understand how they can say the issue is out of their control. They choose the weather software and could have redundancies in place? If a plane has a fault, then they’d have to put you up for the night. Someone at Southwest must ha

This has happened to me a few times, and I imagine many others! I bought a “tortilla pan” in Spain which prevents this. It’s basically two pans with an interlock on one side. You cook the tortilla on one side, grab the other pan and lock it

I took a guided tour of the main Tempelhof airport building back in 2015. Some highlights: * The main hall's ceiling was originally significantly higher, making a very imposing space. After the war, the Americans insisted a false ceili

Right, which is the point of the post I originally replied to and also my point. They cannot use that DevOps pipeline to build iOS apps, sign iOS apps or deploy to the Apple App Store. Shopify detailed the hoops they had to jump through a f

Sure, there are loads of independent developers and that's great and tooling should work for them. The majority of the top 100 native iOS apps are developed by teams of people working together. Apple unnecessarily makes it difficult fo

That's more or less how it ends up working in the NHS, and I guess it's Conway's Law playing out again rather than being intentional. Health is particularly difficult because it's both data that needs to be accessible by

Which is exactly where a centralised system should excel. Instead you end up with records being serialised and shot around the place, like https://digital.nhs.uk/services/interoperability-toolkit/dev...

You're right, of course, and that is why the situation is how it is. NHS Digital also seem reluctant to become custodians of the data and only administer services that have to be done centrally, such as HSCN and NHSMail, and those serv

As someone who works in HealthTech in the UK, I can see why NHS Digital sees a need for this. We really should be enjoying the benefits of a centralised National Health Service in this country, but the divide and conquer management strategy

YouTube already cannot delete the video. As mentioned in the article, Bin Laden had a copy of it on his hdd. How many other drives have a copy? Unlike the Mona Lisa postcards, these copies are just as good as the origin and I disagree that
