And folks, this is why you hire system administrators. We understand how stuff runs, is stored, backup procedures, cost expenditures and savings, and more. We also know dev work, but it's not our specialty. We also know how to manage p

I think the system in the Netherlands uses a lot more secrecy surrounding the courts systems. In those cases, secrecy is default.. SO having a bureaucratic branch dedicated to determining relevant convictions makes sense. In the USA, came f

Agreed. AWS technical support is exactly that. It's been a pleasure every time, that when I open a ticket, I actually have a real technically minded human behind it. As a converse, I've also had the extreme displeasure in dealing

The problem is inline with what venture capitalists seek for: a technological solution for something (so it can be repeated ad nauseum). And the root problem is that some things cannot and should not be automated. There definitely is a need

Admittedly the very few times I went to Frys, I just walked around them. They yelled to stop. I yelled back to call the cops if they have proof. And... nothing happened. Nothing ever happens. Because I don't steal; I go through the reg

The hardest pill to swallow is that we already had a very low cost of moving money around between hostile nation-states. And it's been around since the 8th century - read 700ACE-800ACE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

Because purchasing digital stuff is done within the realm of capitalism, which uses scarcity to guarantee value. If the scarcity is removed or reduced, the price goes down approaching to 0. We saw cost reductions happen with music with Naps

I completely reject Project Xanadu, for one primary reason: it turns an open web into a per-page paywall DRM horror. And where money comes, user tracking and anti-privacy tech follows. Right now, it takes time and effort to paywall stuff. I

At the same time, Google unveiled a "Black owned businesses near me" on Google Maps. How has that been received? We need look no further than Twitter: (the Tl;Dr. racists are using this to lower all ratings of these Black owned bu

In my experiences, most of the times when "TSA agents" get annoyed, is because they're part of the $10/hr contractor service. As long as it's not the gun they use to test them on a regular basis, they don't app

Then I would ask that you generate the python script associated to the flow, and look yourself. The data flow is 2.4Msps the whole way through, even with decimation filters. It's one of the inherent issues with using Python in this way

I believe so, yes. But in all seriousness a line has to be drawn somewhere about open source'ness. For example, there's a few ways to remediate that. My preferred is a reference Gnuradio flow that, with an SDR, allows for communic

So how do you tell if its just bad politics and lying -versus- accurately giving updated research data, and making recommendations upon that? It's damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
