This is incredible. The amount of embedded and mobile systems that can utilise this is big. Think vehicle (car, ship, etc) tracking, IoT devices, remote sensors in the field, even remote cameras in the field. Search and rescue devices, etc.

Thanks for sharing this. It creates a clear picture of its use cases and roll out plans. GPS is such a critical infrastructure component to modern society- knowing that a redundancy system like this is in the works is great.

There doesn't seem to be any mention of 2006's Sid Meier's Railroads! which seems to be an evolution of Railroad Tycoon. I've played "Railroads!" for countless hours - it's an incredible game, especially w

Given the size of the booster, what corrections would placing GNSS sensors in multiple places provide to increase positional accuracy? Eg if you space sensors 20m’s apart.

If you have the option to consider both, which visa would be the more seamless (and faster) path to green card? L1A or O1? (Coming from South Africa, running SaaS company with holding co in DE)

I do see it in the logs now. So weird, as dozens of people successfully signed up without this issue. Have added more logs now again to double down on that specific area where this issue is caused. Maybe another login attempt now will be ab

Thanks for the useful feedback! Totally forgot that pricing was never added to the landing page → have added to the todo list to fix up. Where in the process did that error occur for you? I see in the logs that an error registered, but unfo

Haha, exactly this. I've built and successfully been using Unspam[0] for this reason since about a year ago. In corporate/business world, anything where SDR sales are involved this form of automated AI outbound mail has picked up

For solo-private projects, I constantly catch myself writing full commit messages even though I never read it again, and `git commit -m "."` would suffice.

That tweak would make many people happy.

Good questions. Firstly, this is specifically designed for business users (founders, ceo's) that are already using Google Workspace for email. Using SpamAssassin (afaik) is not possible in that environment. On the "AI" topic,

I would suggest checking out PowerSync ( https://www.powersync.com/ ) for this. I've built various React apps (and iOS apps before that) in the past on a bunch of stacks. My experience with the following tools were as fo

What's your thoughts on keeping a separate Gmail password (that's not stored in the password manager, vs keeping it inside the password manager? Assuming Gmail account is the core email behind majority of services, so breaching th

If this passes and non-App Store app downloads take off, then the biggest hit could be taken by Apple’s App Store revenues… and the UK gov will loose even more control when people start downloading properly encrypted software off platform f

If a few lines of code can easily achieve this, then why would some of the big exchanges not have a team (of even 1 engineer) apply this tactic against all the other exchanges? This would quickly result in washing out all fake volumes acros

Workflowy.com has been a tool I’ve religiously used for the past 7 years. (I’m a startup founder/CEO) It’s a simple bullet-points-only app/site to track things. I follow a toned down structure of Getting Things Done by David Allen
