You know, I thought of a bunch of reasons why drones would be more likely to be stolen, but it never occurred to me that delivery trucks are accompanied by people.

Yup it's a pretty good idea too. Pets, odd structures, children, terrain type, puddles, water run off areas. Not to mention you need to account for the wind. Drones can actually fly really well in wind, and while obviously they won&#x2

That's what I was wondering too. I mean, I'd expect all major Nation States to "research" each other's voting systems and "direct visits to—election websites". Duh why wouldn't you? Like, okay? Here&#

A counter example: If I was a pack-a-day smoker and tell you smoking is bad for you, and that you shouldn't do it as it's bad for your health based off XYZ studies, that doesn't mean my statement is poor.

Only limited by cost, but they get expensive. You could spend more on just the thermal camera then the rest of the setup pretty easily.

This is just a "maybe" idea. If there's any clients that crash when not expecting the nulls then you may be able to crash all effected devices within the area. Depending on how hard they crash, this might be generally affecti

The other issue is infrared camera's don't have great resolution/refresh rates which isn't great for a (relatively) high altitude fast moving vehicle. That said I'd expect them to be added at some point. More tools

I actually have a drone I fly around freestyle for fun, after seeing how truly versatile they are, not to mention how cheap, I'm really not sold on constructing more towers. The EMax Hawk 5 is 250$ and while I don't know how much

It's hilarious because it's also a "semi"-decent method on how to learn knew topics in general.

I'd be confident with periodically testing just little random parts. For me this is a "last resort backup", costs little to keep around, and god-forbid we ever need it. BUT that means we need to account for the case were we d

I'm really excited about this! The more entities that can launch, and land vehicles the better! This will surely benefit everyone! Random though, when private companies like SpaceX "replace" say NASA's service of launchi

I mean AES was established in 2001, and that's obviously still considered secure.

I'm mostly just evaluating it for personal/hobby backups (few terabytes), I know business will for sure look at it differently.

Does anybody know what the retrieval fees will likely look like? I've been wary of most of the "cloud archival" solutions because while they're cheap to put data into, they seem charge you a billion dollars to actually r

Drones don't really require infrastructure though? They don't require any setup at the physical locations, and they have a pretty obstacle free path above the trees. Zipline would require infrastructure setup on the scale of roads

Delivery trucks are hard to transport and store once they're reported stolen. It'd be more sensible to just steal the packages on the truck. The drone is "small", can be transported and stored without it being visible, s

At least around here (in US), while street deals are still the common among most people, USPS is likely the one of the biggest/safest methods now. They require a warrant to search domestic packages, not to mention the most common &quot

For some reason I'm surprised we've had so many issues with Wi-Fi security. I don't know if it was addressed in WPA3 (or if it would be addressed there), but my understanding is that a good chunk of the protocol isn't au

Not sure what the down voting is for. While I don't condone anything the Nazis did, it is true that eliminating "expensive sick people" would lower the cost of care. Whether that's something we would want to do and were

Same situation for me too. I've done a bunch of networking stuff before with pfsense and plan to again, but I just moved and wanted something working. And it works great! To be honest it's all most residences need, even if you&#

Whoops my bad! I thought you meant they were purposely traveling in front of the car, knowing it's sensors would force it to stop. It'd be super moronic and dangerous, but if you recognized the car model it would at least be pos

Not doubting you, but were did you find that information? The only thing I see is "it’s built into devices running Android 7.0+" and I found that on multiple pages. As Android 7.0 is available to install on any device and I don&#x

Yeah I don't see how this is any different from the standard Google Authenticator style affair. Without a security enclave (which devices are starting to include) I don't see how this is an improvement.

If they're fighting over the '.amazon' TLD then presumably they'll need some form of hosting no? I still agree it's a stupid offer from amazon though.

The cyclist issue is something I don't consider a fault of software or the car's design. Driving/Cycling/Walking in front of a high speed vehicle who has the right of way to the point that they need to break means you sh

Software CAN be far more safe then humans for tons of reasons. It's a matter of procedure and testing to ensure it's actually safe. People are going to die, and that sucks. The hope is that we can use software to lower the death r

And/or a way to "offer more value" without the extra cost. Same reason you get more trade-in credit for a giftcard then cash, hosting is "virtually" free, and kindles only cost production + shipping cost. Not defend

To be fair a lot of people only have a cable box (one ethernet port) and plug everything into their wifi router, which is also the DHCP server, firewall, etc. I'd guess this is the most common setup for residences, it requires next to

Oh that's cool, are you affiliated with Ripcord? Discord is a pretty decent company so far IMO, I figure if they're okay with 3rd party clients then they'll be extra lenient on the rules. So far their success has been how muc

The discord api is pretty well documented. The bot api and the user api are actually the same thing, but you're only allowed to use the bot api. You can still use the user api but if they catch you they'll ban you, so we'll s
