What's the website called?

It is and it does feel about as awesome as you can imagine. In our case we also had a tough integration and testing campaign where we were changing software and running into hardware issues, etc. so I was personally quite tense until we got

Very cool! We're actually doing something quite similar (although on a much smaller scale) at the TU Berlin: https://www.tu.berlin/en/about/profile/press-releases-news/n... Just recently, we complet

I'm sure you had the choice not to provide that documentation, right?

From my experience in the embedded world, the ecosystem doesn't seem super relevant. You may depend on certain libraries for encryption, compression, etc. but you're more likely than not to be writing drivers for all of your devic

That’s exactly the same principle as reaction wheels. Indeed they have to keep spinning to maintain a certain angular rate.

How quickly, exactly? Do you think the US military would step in to resolve a dispute regarding a consumer electronics company? > considering it’s the GDP of all these evil tech companies that’s paying for their national security and hea

That's entirely the website operator's choice. They could store that preference as a technically required cookie. But they choose to bother you every time. As we discussed, legally mandating a DNT header would be better.

Well, I see your point. I also partly agree, in some cases it would be better if the law could catch up to new technologies faster. On the other hand, people here tend to value stability over novelty.

Actually, before we extend the panels we do have do have solar cells on 3 out of 6 faces of the satellite - which should allow us to make sure our attitude control is working as expected. We need to deploy the panels to maximize the solar c

My team is about to go through this ;) It's our first pair of satellite with solar panels in only one axis, so attitude control is critical. The satellites will be deployed on Wednesday, wish us luck!

While it's true that there were always ways to entertain oneself, I'd argue that the the ease of consumption (or alternatively, "effort required to consume") and potency of the effect on dopaminergic networks in the brai

I think "mandatory critical thinking training for voters" is the only actual long term solution. I would generalize it as "better education".

Sounds like a NewSpace company... but not SpaceX.

You nailed it. People don't necessarily hate capitalism, companies or business owners. However, this late stage capitalism with huge faceless companies that are unable to care for people, seem to be above the law and are just profit-ex

It seems that at least the push notification registration part uses a "leaked/extracted" FairPlay private key [1]. As far as I understand, FairPlay certificates/keys should be unique to each iDevice. Couldn't Apple

I agree that individuals shouldn't be held responsible for mistakes like this. However, you can't always eliminate timeline pressure. Even if the project is planned and executed perfectly, there will almost always be unknown unkn

Well, it's true that it should be designed such that they cannot be plugged incorrectly. I would imagine it is indeed mostly designed in that way, but there can still be erroneous configurations that were not accounted for at the desig

It was inefficient at takeoff because it was using afterburners to get the thrust needed.

What happened to their custom hardware training stack Dojo? They had some interesting ideas there. The last I heard, they had one of those tiles "working" in the lab. Pretty far from a production setup. I can imagine they either u

That's also what I got out of reading the linked fact checks vs. the article here. They are talking about two different things, a local-only thing that analyzes driving patterns vs a remote killswitch. Those are substantially different

Google Chat was great back in its day (standard XMPP) and had a somewhat "loyal" and large user base. Rebranding it into Hangouts, rebuilding it, and generally sabotaging themselves was, well, their own doing.

Ah, of course!

Yes, that's basically Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). You divide the "amplitude vs phase" 2D space into a grid of points (typically 4, 8, 16, 32, ...) and assign a code to each. That way you can send 2, 3, 4, 5, (...)

That's what should be fixed then. Teach critical thinking and then you don't have to implement regressive policies like limiting or banning $perceived_bad_thing.

Well, that is a big relief. Common sense prevails, which is absolutely not a given these days.

Coming across the "10k severe side effects" data point should trigger the critical thinking in one to find out the total amount of vaccines in order to form an opinion. I would say it is still better to learn that fact than not.

It was looking very promising until I read "A subscription is required to use Ai Pin." right at the bottom of the page. Oh well.
