I know both of them somewhat (I was in Ilya's YC batch!) and I'm completely inclined to believe this article/statement to be accurate -- especially since it matches what the federal courts accept as true. Crime is bad. Don&#x

The requirement in the contract is nowhere near that specific. Contact info validation is sufficient for almost all registrars. It's possible a given registry has higher standards, or maybe one registrar got some order to be more tho

I would use it for flights where the best flight is pretty obvious, or in cases where satisficing is fine. I'd tbh mostly use it when OTHER PEOPLE ask me to find a flight for them. I'd also use it to quickly book flights on my pr

Wow.I book a lot of flights, often waste a huge amount of time find the best flight, and would use this for a lot of the easier bookings. I was amazed at how well it works (in the simulator). Google Flights is really the last Google product

Definitely a lot of value in a drone/balloon/etc. fleet to 1) restore communications using satellite + mesh 2) overhead imagery for direct support of rescue/recovery/rebuilding 3) supporting rescue (and later recovery) o

If the recommissioning requires 20% of the work of new-build (in time and money), I'd rather have the "normal" 50-100% overrun in costs and time happen on recommissioning vs new-build. The delay is usually heavily on the pe

Wow. AI has already accomplished more positive in a few years of big commercial stuff (admittedly as a side effect) than cryptocurrency has since, say 2009. :(

Would be fun to do "smart clays" -- I wonder if you could make a clay which just shifted weights to affect flight path, something cheaper thna a full drone. Or you could fly a $300-500 non-expendable but not-end-of-the-world-if-h

Yes, almost certainly HA was running a POCSAG network.

Assuming you aren't joking: Pagers are receive-only, which is why they'd use them in preference to cellphones, which transmit even when just idling to register on cells.

Seems more likely their explosive implant used a separate RF trigger -- makes the whole thing much simpler for them, less detectable. They could run a plane or drone overhead to send the radio initiate message. Looked like 5-10g (maybe up

Their visible cameras are $7k, I'd be surprised if this is less than $15k. Assuming the Berlin patents have expired, a visible light or "night vision" near IR camera made from commodity sensors and on-device stitching is abou

I went a few months ago -- was amazing how much better the Museum of Computing was, given it obviously had a tiny budget compared to Bletchley. Bletchley was mostly a bunch of school groups being bored and filling the space, empty buildings

Nuclear stuff uses more mechanically robust things like solder with a wire brush run through it and photographed over screws/joints. (Also lol I did the 2013 glitter nail polish talk w Eric Michaud. I feel old now.)

DoE (Sandia iirc) was the premier defensive seals lab in the US but shortly after 9/11 they removed most of their open documentation from the internet. CIA has the main seals defeat capability in USG.

That is one of the more clear (and opinionated, but IMO correct) summaries of how we got here that I've seen -- thank you! Another aspect are all the cartel-like programs of banks overall (and the banking regulators) to keep even well-

How is discouraging people who don't actually need an ER from showing up at an ER a bad idea? If I have something urgent but not an emergency, I could either do ER or Urgent Care. If I'm pretty confident Urgent Care can handle it
