As long as you are in airspace and not in space (and those balloons weren't), it's not legal to violate airspace and wiretap signals without permission. So U-Haul wouldn't be much different. And the balloon was very slow as w

And they are able to get leaders/delegates from nearly all countries in a room regularly. That alone can be crucial.

I always wondered how countries control their airspace to detect foreign objects. Wouldn't these balloons show up similar to birds? Or do they have methods to distinguish birds from other objects of a similar size/radar profile? A

I guess after not acting on the first one, they really want to show now that they can control their airspace. I think this will happen for a few weeks and then they'll go back to normal.. At least let's hope so, the alternatives a

At current prices, PV and many wind installations will still be cheaper than this project + transport cost. So while it could be critical for the grid, you would never rely 100% on it. The US already stores nuclear missiles not too far away

Couldn't you drill from outside the park? I hope no one would really want to build something like that in the park, but the area around it has enough land that's currently used for crops (no nature destroyed drilling there) and is

I don't think it matters much if you're inside the moat. Running vulnerable software inside the moat makes it very easy for an attacker to move laterally once they're in. Patching everything where possible reduces the blast r

Sounds sane, usually you don't want multiple versions just because people were too lazy to keep code up to date. But in some instances it's probably worth supporting several major versions across the whole org.

Sounds great to me because you are forced to delete code that's not in use anymore. Without the monorepo, that code would still be there with old libraries that are potentially insecure. Deleting code that is not being used anymore hap

And yet people happily use it, even in parts of London where it's feasible to go by car. One of the biggest reasons is probably that the tube has high frequency on all lines, much higher than most other cities.

Where do you see that 25% number? According to Wikipedia, most systems around the world seem to be >50%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farebox_recovery_ratio

Many European cities have low flat fares and no gates. And yet, they don't encounter the problems LA has. Maybe it's a problem of society and not public transport.

I've said it in another comment, but I believe Opensky could be the most trustworthy alternative. This is driven by academics so the likelihood for them to sell out seems a bit lower.
134.
by dx034 4y ago
Also, why not support Opensky which has an academic background and is already well established?

Opensky seems to be the only non profit network left?

I get it for a smart meter, you don't want to mix up numbers and provide wrong readings. And they could be read manually and entered into a system, even if they're "smart". But for books, the worst that can happen is tha

Shows that all these availability zones and regions don't really help if an outage can knock out a whole cloud provider. And that's not specific to Microsoft. The only way to really ensure uptime is to use two providers. Sadly, th

I'm glad I work for a company that uses Office 365 instead of the equivalent of Google or others. I really like Office products, for all their faults they allow me to work more productively than the alternatives. So I don't know w

They know how important developers are, that's why they bought Github. But developer experience is indeed one of the minor points of consideration when choosing a cloud vendor for large enterprise. Customer service, billing and integra

Office 365 is also affected. And I find Outlook to be one of the better alternatives for business email.

I think all countries should use their own instances of gitlab or others. It feels wrong that they all depend on GitHub to publish such important information.

But why would that affect new comments if they’re able to create comments?

I guess if those chips were much more expensive for a long time, car manufacturers would find other solutions than using them. A shortage makes them wait rather than redevelop the whole product. So for the chip manufacturer it's better

Depends on users and usage. If most visitors haven’t been to your site in a while and visit few pages it can be worth embedding.

In itself 10kb doesn’t make a difference. But it adds up so that this mindset can lead to noticeably faster pages.

There are a lot of places in Europe where you won’t get 3mbits with your phone.

Or for people with bad connections. If you expect high latency it can be worth it to embed js code to avoid the additoinal roundtrip. 10kb makes a big difference for that.

6% is not really a lot. I guess batteries can be profitable if you cycle daily. But at 6% curtailment, they would've been used only a few times a year. You'd need really cheap storage for that.

Just want to say how great the UX of that page is. I've used many data sources and pages that show power generation, this one is by far the most intuitive one. I wish it existed for more countries.
