A half dozen jumps in a day is pretty long day of skydiving although you can certainly do more if you're committed. (and helps if you have someone else packing your chute) Anecdotally I've met old timers with over 10k total jumps.

The former Chief of Disguise for the CIA did an AMA relatively recently. Pretty candid and fascinating stuff. For the curious: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/a32j7e/im_jonna_mende...

I stand corrected. Feeling particularly silly as I’m from Colorado and probably should have known that.

I think so, seems to be the logical progression of their crackdown on particularly egregious 3rd party analytics implementations.

I don’t understand how the soda display is supposed to pull in new shoppers. Americans tend to drive to the grocery store in my experience. To me, this means most people committed to shopping at the store long before they got there and saw

How much stationkeeping does a geostationary satellite have to do to remain in orbit over a long time scale? I would think not much?

Are you implying that leveraging that notion isn’t a business strategy?

The NFL is also their own provider of streams. GamePass works great, all games live. It’s just not available in the states for business reasons.

This is clever. So I'm curious, how is Amazon able to execute so effectively in so many different spaces? It would seem to me that any company endlessly extending itself into new markets is doomed to lose sight of its core competencie

Hi fellow Volvo OSDer. It truly is a wonderful program. But there's a difference between the OSD MSRP discount. (i.e. buying off the OSD price sheet) and the standalone "Destination Fee" line item. Further, even though Volv

The deep dependency regex vulnerability warnings are particularly annoying. Can anyone speak to what the actual attack vector is?

Thanks! It was a lot of fun and simultaneously a big headache. The original bounds came in a shape file from the city's open data catalog [1]. After that it becomes a multi step process that has to be repeated at each zoom level. So s

Can you pick up a database? Edit: to be clear, I’m against the pedantry at play here. Subject matter experts talk in their specific jargon. We do it in tech, why would the military be any different?

Yeah I can tell you have experience with iOS code signing. I just wanted it to be clear to others that this is NOT the intended purpose of the Enterprise program.

by eunoia 8y ago
Agreed. I'm curious if FB just doesn't have to play by the same rules? It would seem like the loss of FB Research's Enterprise cert would be a major pain for them.

by eunoia 8y ago
It's worth noting that one of the main rules of these Enterprise accounts is that they are not to be used to bypass the App Store. For example, we use them to distribute frictionless test builds internally.

by eunoia 8y ago
I really hope not. Enterprise distribution has been hugely useful as an internal tool at just about every company I have worked for. They seem to have broken the cardinal rule though. Namely the somewhat ambiguous "Don't use yo
