Author here. This is definitely something some WISPs are worried about. It's likely that Starlink will take a lot of the most rural customers. WISPs can also be very successful in more suburban environments, and can speeds much higher

Author here. I see your posts often and have a lot of respect for you as someone who obviously has a deeper knowledge of networking than I probably every will. That being said I don't really agree that a person necessarily needs a ton

Hi folks, author of startyourownisp.com here. Not sure why we hit the front page today, but happy to be here! I'll try to hang around and answer questions for the next few hours. Thanks!

This really is a great thing about living in Utah with young kids (one of the states mentioned in the article with laws explicitly protecting parents from these randos.) In my neighborhood the street is literally full of neighborhood kids a

For some context, in case, like me, you don't recognize the author by name: > Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie... is a Nigerian writer whose works range from novels to short stories to nonfiction. She was described in The Times Literary Sup

GPs second point still holds - the laptop scans for SSID, not BSSID. If all you have is SSID you can't get to location using Google's database. At most you could use it as a data point to connect someone's laptop to a locatio

You could probably get pretty far with LibreOffice Impress. I usually use Google Drive for this kind of stuff (specifically the Drawing app.)

It seems like the solution most institutions land on for this kind of thing is just a first come first serve sign up list. Kids who attended the school the previous year, and kids who have siblings currently attending the school, get first

This is basically my feeling as well. I would prefer that we (at least in the U.S.) focus on making high school much much better, to the point that fewer people have any need to go to college/university. And then, if we still need to,

I know HN loves to hate on touchscreens in cars but I don't really get it. Both cars I own and almost every car I've rented in the last few years (that's quite a few) has had a touchscreen. This is pretty much always how it w

I mean, that's also true of hacking game mods as a kid vs. actual programming for money as an adult. But many professional programmers got their start by just playing around with computers as a kid.

Our generation had distractions, too. TV, for example. I don't know the direct answer to your question but at least part of it is that 'not-forcing' your kid in to programming means they might just never be in to programming.

On paper I'm the type of person who ought to be interested in a cybertruck but I'm finding myself a lot more interested in the Ford F-150 Lightning.

GPs quote specifically calls out Mormonism, though, which is what piqued my attention. Mormonism absolutely does have those things.

> "A core set of beliefs, agreed upon among their followers". What is the core set of beliefs agreed upon by Woke adherents?

by grahamburger 5y ago
As a Mormon[1], this is interesting. Not because I disagree, necessarily, I certainly see the similarity between Wokeness and religion. But I think an anthropologist would see a difference. At the heart of the experience of being a Mormon (

I recently had an experience kind of like this. I run a website about a kind of niche topic. I got a call from someone at a FAANG one day working in a similar space who wanted to chat about it. I get these calls pretty regularly and agreed,

Something I've been wondering about - are your goggles stereoscopic, and does the drone have two cameras? I've (very, very briefly) looked in to FPV stuff but quickly get lost in marketing stuff that doesn't seem to clearly i

I've been helping some cities recently to price out the cost of broadband projects. Cities often have some assets (property, access to fiber, sometimes access to wireless spectrum) that can make building a broadband network feasible. I

I use a ReMarkable for essentially this. It works really well for me. I'm not a teacher or a student, I just like keeping my notes by hand. Also any time I need to fill out and sign a doc I put the PDF on the ReMarkable, mark it up, an

Switches don't typically block DHCP packets. You can literally just spin up your own DHCP server and plug it in to a switch port - if your fake server responds to a DHCP request faster than the legit DHCP server the client will get you

This is a huge pain point for me as a user, too. I interact with a lot of managed network devices that have web UIs as their primary configuration method. All existing options for this stink. At least Firefox still lets me click through the

One problem is that it's easy to inject malicious DHCP on to any network you have access to, and you can then route all traffic to yourself (by telling clients that you are the gateway.) This kind of attack is partially mitigated becau
