I wish I had this summary quite a few years ago. I ended up buying aeronautical software textbooks and trying to glean the information from those to figure out how to integrate multiple IMU inputs. I learned that real world IMU use in navig

What worries me most about the interception tech, such as stingrays, is that I myself can build one, or buy one off the shelf, and the communication systems are not robust enough to thwart it. Techs like GSM have serious flaws in them and a

The crazy thing is, AFAIK, it's based on real-time demand on the expressway itself and makes it more expensive when that is more crowded. So you get to pay more, just to drive behind other people. You'd think it would be slightly

Which they had years to already work on and leap ahead, but now they're playing catch up. I came to this conclusion by wondering, who sold IG? I can't remember. I can't remember who created it to be honest. Because now they&#

Let's be honest here. FB bought IG because they were the competition and what was the end result? Those guys at IG got benched for years and haven't done much since. So they won , if money was the goal. But if the goal was winnin

Huh, strange. My made up charts say something completely different.

How is that unfair ? It's actually quite fair. We all have opinions and we can upvote, downvote, and comment equally.

Maybe if the public trusted the mainstream journalists this wouldn't be such an issue. They've eroded that trust themselves. It's their job to clean up the mess by gaining that trust back through integrity. Everything else

Ah, so it's hitting you personally. Well as an American, I can relate. We don't always get the government we want.

As an American what shocks me is the accusations of racism, the anger, and the outright attacks on the British. Talk about fair-weather friends.

Why the anger?

I don't assign any value to age honestly. I've been surprised by old and young alike. We all age differently and aptitude isn't age-restricted.

If that's what my client wants then yes I'll be there on time and in my seat coding. But I set my own hours as a contractor. How? Communication. You have to communicate what you are doing to your client and that is the OP's

Okay, it's fine. But face the fact that a lot of people use applications and there is a reason for it. It's not fluff. The situation on mobile browsers and their capabilities in comparison to native applications is quite straight

If you work from home you have to set boundaries and go out of your way to set the tone . Meaning, everyone knows you are working those hours at that place everyday. When you're not within those hours you're not working, period.

He probably does it for the same reason we program and tell the world about it on HackerNews - accolades. People are partly driven by peer approval. Another thing is that this type of job , relying on gambling for a living, can be prone to

I think he was explaining the thought process behind resistance, if you will. I don't think he is expecting anything except for us to empathize.

If I was younger, and cheaper, I'd consider working as a freelancer with these guys. Seems like a possible way to funnel in work while offloading a lot of the PM responsibilities. I will say one thing though - fixed pricing on projects

Kik is not new. They've been around for years, with ~200M users.

You've explained it completely, yet I still don't see the point from the customer's perspective. "Haha I just gave a company $5 for nothing!" .. What?

Although they do have free accounts, Github is not completely free. A lot of developers like myself use the paid plans simply because we go over the limits of the free accounts and use it for work (private repos).

So you sit there waiting for someone to be rude so you can pounce on them? I'm sorry but that's petty. Don't you have anything better to do? And that's not going to make for good neighbors. Now they know you're that

I agree. The Permissive Action Link(PAL), a remote security device for nuclear weapons, was typically used when the state is non-nuclear, yet is a member of NATO. They are secured and deployed by USAF members. But the UK is not one of these

What worries me is the number of non-government nodes discovered that are out there, running simple setups. e.g.: http://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/41513/hacking/low-cost-i... The way things currently are a

If I wasn't a salty startup founder, I might be offended. But after my 500th rejection letter, with much more terse language, I can handle it. These are all good tips.

Because they're not going to rewrite or replace code that already has been tested and works in production.

People keep bring that up, but they actually take great pains to keep birds away from places that airplanes fly, because of the danger. For instance they use falcons to ward off bird packs from airports. Just one of the things they do. But

You're a perfect fit for government! Object to something meaningless and then make a conflict out of it. We should make a committee to discuss what words to use and then go forward. I'll book a conference room.

Sorry I missed the article, I thought it was just an image gallery and had to scroll down through a strange(imho) layout. Thanks!

Yes and what is strange is it isn't faceted like the F-117, which Lockheed was making during the same era. As far as I can recall Ben Rich said that he had stumbled on a paper by a Russian scientist regarding how to defeat radar using
