How much of an effect would $6B really have on the EU? According to Wikipedia[0], their GDP is around $16,800 billion. If I were the judge I wouldn't see any reason to believe my community would derive any measurably benefit from that

Yes, and their job is to interpret the law impartially. It isn't a perfect system. How would you suggest we improve upon it?

If that was the only requirement the TSA agent could direct you however they pleased as long as you couldn't predict it. The reason to use a software solution, one imagines, is to protect from corrupt TSA agents. Corrupt TSA agents kno

The judges shouldn't be seeing a penny more or less no matter the verdict. If they're bribed that is another matter.

What is the relevance of VK's net worth to Telegram's decision?

Yes. :) Would you like to offer up another term for something that performs ranging with radio?

by fabulist 10y ago
A wifi antenna should always be vertically oriented because radio waves are polarized, and if you aren't in line with the polarization you'll lose gain.

Thank you for releasing this, this is a really valuable reference for a project I'm working on. I've certainly seen urban areas with hundreds of routers around, but where I am it is more like 5.

People on HN seem to have forgotten clickbait is directly related to ad revenue, and use it in lieu of "sensational."

by fabulist 10y ago
I disagree that it is clickbait. There is a schema people use for announcing security vulnerabilities ("<issue> in <software> version <number> through <bigger number>"), and the RCE issue was recent, so to

This is billed as a replacement for motion sensors in home automation. Though it does beg the question, "what if someone moves their router?"

For those of you curious how it works, it's a parasitic radar system using the wireless APs of you/your neighbors to triangulate it's own position. https://github.com/schollz/find/blob/master&#x

Your advice is sage, but regardless of the reality behind this particular story, it is undeniable that there is a problem in the United States with people being hateful. There is definitely anti-Muslim sentiment. There is definitely anti-LG

Additionally, copper might be cheaper than gold or silver, but isn't very cheap.

I don't accept this as valid, but even if I did there are still more honest ways to spin this than to bury the lede completely.

Specifically, since the FBI operates domestically and most other intelligence agencies "don't", Foreign Counterintelligence (which may take the form of "counterterrorism") is their bailiwick.

If they make drones carry ADS-B transponders, it will only be heavy and high-flying drones. Signal becomes noise after so long, and they don't want to overcrowd 1090MHz.

Genuinely curious, who sells, rebuilds, or otherwise "end of lifes" a datacenter after 5 years?

Thanks, I didn't know that. I certainly didn't mean to provide a defense for Blizzard or Kik, just to try and illustrate/understand their motivations.

by fabulist 11y ago
It seems likely to me that they executed this maneuver for similar reasons to the kik/azer fiasco that happened on NPM; if they didn't sue, they would lose their trademarks. I think a better response would've been to purchase

I would like to believe that, in the future, we'll use bikes for intracity transit, and few people will own cars, renting them when they need to drive long distances or move large loads. I think this would help with both obesity and gl

I would add that you shouldn't trust GitHub not to lie to you, and verify signatures for yourself. One need not attribute malicious motives to GitHub in this scenario; they could get hacked, served with an NSL, successfully man-in-the-

It is worth noting that Facebook maintains "ghost" profiles for people who aren't members, but of whom they are aware. I'm having trouble finding a reference, but I remember it came out that when your friends ("frie
