Read the article again. The issue isn't really about the price for wifi, it's that hotels are blocking the spectrum so you can't set up your own wifi or tether (which is not allowed by the FCC).

What's recommended for an experienced "back-end" developer who wants to dabble in front end and web development, but never spent much time in it? It seems like there are a million options for web stack components, and a lot o

A model/rc controlled helicopter that close to an airliner is very serious, at best causing distraction to the flight crew in a critical phase of flight, at worst causing a collision with a several kg object with potentially high veloc

Or maybe DC - Baltimore is the best place for the first phase of a DC - Boston high speed corridor, since it's short.

Agreed, it doesn't sit well, and we burn a lot of gas in sheer quantity as well (~9 gallons/hr in a typical 172). A big part of the problem is regulation and the certification process. Of course there is a good case for heavy reg

Unfortunately, at least with the first point, this is true for a lot of people, and governments. This "they're not doing it, so why should I?" is a common justification, and is expressed in goverments who are pressured into

I have one of the old Lenovo X1 Carbons from when they first came out. It's great, I had been considering a MacBook Air, but I liked the thin bezel on the X1, a little more screen resolution, and Linux-ability (was also a couple hundr

To interviewers who have given this problem: how do candidates typically perform? I would expect a lot of people to come up with some variant of an O(n^2) solution on the spot, but probably not get much further without some help, in an int

Money can be used to drown out competing messages. This can take many forms, such as overwhelming media appearance in political campaigns/attack ads, large companies using litigation against smaller entities that can't afford to

When I heard about Flytenow, as I private pilot I could not believe they were attempting to set up a ride share market with private pilots. It is so blatantly condradictory to the spirit of the law and the common understanding of the rul

The article indicates many states are beginning to supply federal agencies with biometric data including driver's license photographs. It also states a local police force (the NYPD) was a customer of a facial recognition system. How l

While it's certainly off-topic, it might be better to heavily penalize this kind of current-event/disaster news such that it can only rarely float to the top (and I'm not trying to fetishize it here), instead of getting flagg

I think the thing he actually fears is once in Sweden, having the US bring out some espionage charges, and then pressing the Swedish government to extradite him while he is in custody, after the Swedish charges play out.

And all of the new construction tall buildings are luxury condos, which are barely "affordable" in Queens and start in the millions on Manhattan. I think something like 40% of them are actually even occupied year-round, instead t

In the video Sprey critisizes the F-15, which is not unsurprising considering the history of him going off and designing the F-16. But isn't the F-15 regarded as a great aircraft? It costs nearly double, but has a good record and cap

If you are in heavy stop-and-go traffic you can slowly ease forward in a car with an automatic transmission (no idea if this works with a DCT) by letting up on the brake pedal, which is slightly easier and smoother than going brake-accel-b

Why? I hate advertising, and believe it's gotten way way way too pervasive in all aspects of modern life, but I still wouldn't even say it's inherently evil.

The publisher clearly wasn't willing to deal to whatever Amazon's requests were. Amazon's response is then to stiff-arm them, and that's not cool. What if you made an app, charged $5, and Google/Apple said we reall

I will go against the grain a little and say I don't mind the new Google Maps, and it's getting better to the point where I might even say I like it more than the old Maps. They have been steadily improving it - initially the str

Amazing how naive in some regards a very smart person can be. You don't send yourself source code, and you definitely don't talk to police without a lawyer, or invite them into your house.

Little 'diversions' like this one are great and make HN more fun to visit, without depleting its overall quality of content.

AC-130 is significantly more of a sitting duck to infantry-deployable surface to air missiles. They have to be fairly low and fly in slow circles with the broadside facing the target. It would be hard to imagine a better missile target.

Quoting my own comment from another subtree below. AC-130s circle low and slow, and cannot maneuver quickly, which makes them very very good SAM targets. The A-10 is very maneuverable and quick by comparison. After an AC-130 was shot down
