I'm doing it (mobile internet, not van life). The conversations on RV forums deal with stuff like unlimited data in the middle of Wyoming for less money, or how to get a SIM card and plan from a connected car device that AT&T disc

Gulf Cooperation Council for those that don't know. It's a regional alliance of countries around Saudi Arabia. Their major interests are 1. making tons of money, and 2. defending against Iran.

Satellite is worse, so if you can't get it done with 4G you won't be doing it with satellite.

Moot point, because a fighter pilot will never say "head." That and the word "box" are strictly prohibited.

It's not really a startup idea, it's just a bad choice that was made when equipping the plane (often the manufacturer's choice, not the purchaser's). Button and dial based options exist for every instrument and piece of

Private pilot and military officer here (but not military pilot). On the military side, touchscreens suck horribly but are already being crammed into planes where soft buttons on the side of a display and controls on throttle and stick are

You can get decent 4G internet plans already in most parts of the world. While this will have better coverage of rural areas, mobile internet is very adequate for the van lifestyle.

Yes it was. The options were to pay money for a lower populated platform (App.net), vs a higher-populated platform for free. The only benefit was that App.net claimed it was going to be nicer with your data. Everything else was worse. A

Right, but that is only if they discriminate based on what they had recorded about you. A company recording whether they think you are gay based on your location information isn't doing anything illegal until they discriminate against

It's not illegal to record whether you think someone is gay. It's probably immoral if you hand that data over to a country that will prosecute someone for being gay (Russia). I'm not aware of any US protections unless they c

Not surprising that The Grand Tour and The Man in the High Castle are the top two. The Grand Tour is basically just Top Gear, which was one of the most popular shows in the world when it was on, and The Man in the High Castle is pretty uni

Video says bicyclist, written article says pedestrian. Video says they don't know if a person was behind the wheel, written article says there was a person behind the wheel. There's enough discrepancy here that I'm not sure

Could a human have reacted fast enough to stop for someone jumping out in front of them? If the person jumped out so fast that nobody could have possibly reacted in time, then it's not a stain on the technology- even with an instantan

This is somewhat true. However, if you stop adding data to your profile it becomes stale. Since I deleted my facebook profile I moved cities, bought a house, a different car, and have new friends in real life. My old FB profile is probab

My point is that just saying "we have data X,Y,Z" for a person doesn't explain the logic. It allows you to check that the input data is correct, but you don't understand the decision from it. What you need is an explan

Expand that a bit: "Articles 13-15 provide rights to 'meaningful information about the logic involved' in automated decisions." Your scenario doesn't explain the logic. Saying "that's the AI's choice

Does it guarantee to do this for everyone or just Europeans? Genuinely curious here since they might have separate policies in place for different countries- I imagine that China prefers to keep all its citizens' emails indefinitely.

Don't act all snarky when someone says the only way not to be tracked is to not carry a phone. It's pretty close to being true, and you don't know if hitting the software switch to turn off your GPS really turns it off or if

It starts out arbitrary but becomes useful once everyone agrees with it, like measuring distance in meters- which has gone through several definitions, none of which make much sense in terms of being based on a natural constant and using a

Interactions are usually smaller than main effects, the idea that they are half the size is just a convenient size to get a point across. If you allowed the interaction size to vary between 1% to 99% of the main effect then you'd get

They won't force you to use a particular pen, but they must take reasonable precautions that you are using permanent ink. Notaries must protect their seal, and don't want you to sign as Joe Blow, get the seal, then wash the signa

It is the most ill-behaved fountain pen ink there is but it's also the most permanent (which is why Noodler's still makes it and people still buy it). You need a pretty strong bleach solution to get the staining out of anything.

The person that told you this is full of hogwash. Being signed with the same ink provides no evidence that two people were together at the same time (unless the ink is extremely rare and hard to procure), and you cannot tell if two signatu

In the US most notaries will not allow you to sign official documents with a fountain pen- it seems to be part of the training, and many realtors and attorneys are notaries for convenience. As great as they are to write with, many FP inks

It's still a categorical "not" as far as international law goes. There are no competing treaties that other countries have signed with different interpretations of the fair use of space. Just because China (and the US, as o

It's possible that they have nobody on their team with any government experience nor space experience. This is a fairly common way that startups fail, they think they have a great idea but are unfamiliar with the regulatory environmen
