SatNOGS is awesome. I'd like to use it for experimenting with bouncing radio off the moon and maybe us a few Amateur Radio satellite repeaters. I really wish someone would sell a kit or preassembled tracker for us lazy people.

Good points. According to OP, the goal would be to persuade FB to back off crawling at 300 qps, not to bring down the FB crawl. Having each request expand to 1GB is probably already enough to do that, since a crawler implementing the mitiga

Here is another article: https://www.blackhat.com/docs/us-16/materials/us-16-Marie-I-... If FB supports brotli, a much bigger compression factor than 1000 is possible, apparently.

That was the idea. There's a name for it - zip bomb. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_bomb A superficial search leads to things like https://www.rapid7.com/db/modules/auxiliary/dos&

I believe, but have not tried, that you can craft zipped files that are small but when expanding produce multi-gigabyte files. If you can sufficiently target the bad guys, you can probably grind them to a halt by serving only them these fil

Awesome (on MacOS Chrome)! Really neat what you can do with CSS. And thanks for the shoutout for Al Jaffee! BTW: Does anyone know if there's an archive of the german mad magazine ? The translation is an experience in itself, and while

I feel a good or maybe the best way to eke our an edge for the US, China or whoever would be to create a good simulation platform and offer a great SaaS platform, maybe like kerbal space program, and let anyone compete. Then learn from the

They are all very nice. I really only need to capture new things on mobile for the most part, so my needs are minimal. What holds me back, however, is not supporting Google Drive for synchronization, as I use that anyway. As is, I would hav

The site has artifacts every now and then when they push new data. E.g., there are sometimes blobs in the middle of the ocean south/west of africa (I assume 0'w 0'n or null island) where unclassified results are stashed (&quo

Well, hypothetically speaking, a state might have secretly mass vaccinated it’s population against its engineered bioweapon(eg hidden in tdmr vaccine). But I agree many things might go wrong with such a scheme. More of a plot device for bon

Just plan for whole bottles / bags and have at least 2 in the pantry. Then record when you run out of a box and buy the replacement.

Taiwan population is smaller, but not really "tiny" compared to UK's.

How does the UK have an extra month, exactly ? It did not take Italy 1 month to to go from 1,143 (today's UK number) positives to 21,157 (today's Italy number, per https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsda

I think it's about 19K "SPECIMEN" tested, not people. Maybe 8K people tested as of today, but only <1K people tested until about a week ago. So, yes, I think claiming the US had widespread testing is stretching the truth b

I still don’t understand how this is supposed to work in areas without internet coverage. If the drone loses connectivity, is the pilot supposed to file reports to the NTSB?

I wonder if that is an implicit admission that the government believes the Covid19 outbreak is there to stay for long enough to justify the expense. Or maybe 'just in case' to go after masked protestors ?

I don't understand the map. I had expected some kind of heat map (based on say mobile phone traces of affected users). That would actually be pretty cool (and privacy problematic) - I wonder if that's something the CDC requests fr

I think it’s regression to the mean. Parents with lots of education see their kids struggling and don’t understand that they themselves were positive outliers back then.

The HP store shows many of their remaining 7 (!) calculator models out of stock quite often. I'm not taking any bets on how long HP is going to make any calculators at all. I feel sad every time I visit their store... They already stop
