Regardless of how the legal establishment views it, the access method definitely matters for the data to be unmodified. Things like file system metadata can be effected.

Walmart? McDonald's? Amazon? I'm not even sure what we're doing whistling about but I guess that's the point?

That's an incredibly good way of putting it. As long as you can justify your comfort over someone else's, you golden.

Say what you want about the second, the fastest growing groups to embrace it are black communities and the LGBTQ community and they as a whole take it fast more seriously, borderline professionally, than any other group I've ever seen.

It's frustrating because unless it's written in stone Americans won't even pretend to agree on it, we're a very chaotic culture that craves the predictability of rules and laws (unless they impact me specifically). Ther

Those are rough because the buck regulator is ~80-90% efficient and takes up space that would otherwise be battery. Any advantage they have over the NiMH cells is marginal at best, but they at least theoretically have a better discharge cu

Yeah the ideal replacement would be a 14500 or 18650 but they run at 3.7v so they would break a lot of electronics meant for alkalines. There are also CR123A batteries which are lithium primary cells and are much better for low temp applic

To be clear, the police were fucking stupid in this situation, but that's not the context here. They were literally arguing that appearance should dictate police response.

Fundamentally if you buy something you should own it entirely. This precludes that.

Technically that's the way it should be. Just because one person looks homeless and the other looks like they're headed to the country club itself doesn't indicate one is more trustworthy than the other.

This suggests that these software unlocks are actively corrupting the market by allowing you to compete via wasted materials instead of building better products. This sounds like something that should be illegal for the health of the marke

Working on my own RV-8. There are dozens of us! Also, support the EAA! They're basically the EFF/FSF of aviation, AOPA/NBAA/ALPA etc are all shitty industry groups that want to make aviation as inaccessible to the ordin

That's kinda what I'm getting at though. If you regulate that everything is going to be escrowed with a contingency (by which I mean guarantee) that it'll end up being forcibly released under GPL/whatever, you suddenly

Osmand should be on every single phone. It works when nothing else does including your cell connection. It's saved my butt a dozen times at this point.

Companies that shut down connected systems should be required to release all device and server source code and hardware electrical schematics. I don't care if it'll be useless to the average consumer, I don't care if it&#x27

Yeah I've seen the central US wind farms and they're absolutely ginormous. We should do offshore too but we aren't lacking in wind turbines, we're just putting them in different places.

Lots of turn key manufacturers out there too. JLPCB will take your proto board files and mail you the whole thing soldered and ready to go in a few weeks. If you use relatively common parts you won't need to solder anything at all.

No mention of MethaneSAT? There's an EDF funded private satellite mission launching in a few months to go hunt methane emitters with high accuracy

As a note, try to avoid using IR to describe LWIR, there are many IR sub bands (NIR, SWIR, MWIR, LWIR) and your phone camera can detect at least one of them.

Just because nobody made me sign an NDA for this: there are satellite companies using this for finding other satellites in eclipse. It's a pretty brilliant strategy if you want to dock with something and there's no usable visible

Yeah go play with an LWIR camera of you really want to understand the spectrum. For instance, everything becomes a mirror, you can see yourself standing in front of surfaces that have better than ~5um surface finish (quite rough sheet meta

Not going to name names but there are a bunch of flying car and "autonomous air taxi" startups trying to get to market right now. They're all going to get their PP slapped by the FAA the second they actually try to operate (

Never reveal ADHD to employers or fellow employees. It will always be used against you.

Most people aren't applying to startups.

Same, I've had a bunch of flying car startups start bugging me with weird stuff plus a couple of the primes. It was all rather sudden too so I'm not sure what happened to flip that switch.

Within the narrow context that a journal is a mental device rather than "literally any document", yeah, I would prefer that be inadmissible.

Signal is very much a first generation private messaging application (in the sense that it was the first generation actually adopted). I think we're starting to see true gen 2 protocols rise to fix some of the issues it has like matri

I consider technology to be an extension of mind. I'm not ok with the police literally cracking open my skull and probing my brain, not just because of the invasive torturous nature, but because it's an invasion of the very state
