I went to Iraq despite being against the invasion (although very pro CIA/JSOC activities in Afghanistan in 2001, but anti Big Army stuff in Afghanistan -- I met some of the "first in" guys a few years later and double down on

When I was in Iraq/Afghanistan 2004-2010, one of my favorite things was working with the military hospitals (I sold satcom to a variety of clients, including medical use for radiology, and then worked on radiology PACS stuff). The Army

That was possibly the worst written tech article I’ve read in a while, despite generally agreeing with the premise of home Wi-Fi being important. I look forward to LLMs actually eliminating the bottom 75% of human writing.

This is amazing -- I've been a happy Beeper user for everything except iMessage and Signal until now, and this mostly kept me from using iMessage much at all. Congratulations to the team, and wow -- that high school kid hopefully has a

There are repeaters on the cable every ~50-200km (depending on technology), powered by DC power carried on the cable. There are branching units powered the same way -- I believe they handle branching at the fiber level, rather than waves,

I sort of enjoy things like this a a way to observe sales/manipulation tactics. Usually as long as you're committed to no-buy, you can give them a fun and totally fictional story about why, have fun, and get free stuff out of it.

FedEx famously got to within days of running out of money early on, and there is a story Fred Smith made payroll by taking the remaining cash to Las Vegas and gambling.

I just follow https://events.ccc.de/ The announcements are inconsistently made in English; usually it's up in German first (which is reasonable given it's a German org and most of the attendees...)

It's a combination of virtue signaling/perceiving the risk to be higher than others perceive it to be (right or wrong; not commenting on the merits), and the long lead times/limited financial reserves the org has in planning

Yeah, lots of hotels in the $100-160/night range in Hamburg especially during that time window. The Radisson (attached) is unfortunately pretty expensive, especially for a Radission Blu, but very convenient especially if the weather i

Agree about scale making qualitative differences in events, but CCC has been happy operating at larger scale organizationally. I disagree with a lot of the organizational politics with CCC, but they're amazingly good at organizing even

I hope it actually happens this year. 2022 where it was "definitely going to happen" and then cancelled was kind of sad.

New cars come out every year, with minor updates, and big updates every 3-10 years ("generation"). I am still pretty happy driving a 2006 car. Maybe phones move toward that, but I like incremental improvement, and I'd be an

Not just in billing, but also in implementation cost and general overhead. I actively avoid buying anything which requires talking to a salesperson to get basic service info; ideally one has something like the Cloudflare self-service model

For this “desert island” use case, a solar powered quartz watch seems like it would work the longest, of COTS options today (although a mechanical watch might be fine without servicing). Of course, my favorite watch in this case would be so

Yeah, I went this year and regret it; it's been getting worse but Covid really killed everything good about it.

Stock up at the Whole Foods on the strip near the airport! I pick up my car at LAS, stop at the Whole Foods (which also has amazon package delivery), and then drive to my hotel. There's also a Total Wines and a few good restaurants in

If anything changed, it's worse now. Any hotel which has an outsourced package delivery to an "in house business center run by (franchisee of ups/fedex) is generally going to be horrible for package delivery. I generally do A

This would cross a line in the US where there would be 1A challenges, although there have been other stupid things accepted which are even more obviously unconstitutional. If they do this, I hope they do it on a very broad basis so the vas

Wow. I wonder to what degree that's designed for Helsinki residents vs. visitors (from elsewhere in Finland or beyond) -- since it's located next to a few other tourist-centric places. I'd absolutely visit when in Helsinki,

Not a lawyer nor even current on this, but from what I remember: In most of the world, if you sell a book or other physical media, the original manufacturer can't put meaningful restrictions on your resale of that product. This is a bi
