This sort of exists but there is no network element as you’ve described. These are called off-route mines. They’re far cheaper than guided missiles but you need to accurately predict where the target will be. You’d also need to be much clos

Oooof big miss. Fixed.

Just because you can improve your chances of surviving a nuclear exchange doesn’t mean it’s desirable. I don’t want to live through the subsequent famines and slow death of everyone I know and love. https://allianceforscience.cor

Actually lol’d at “unlock more choice,” - if it’s truly a commodity product we’d expect basically zero margin. Clearly Azure, AWS and GCP are not zero margin, which implies oligopolistic (does Oracle even count?) price coordination for ente

I haven't had this much fun with a random find on HN in a long time. So pleasant. Such a treat. Thank you Yuri & Roland!

I'm not hating on ADAS or even screens, FWIW I will not purchase a car without radar-based adaptive cruise control, it's a game changer and I know it's better than I am at maintaining attention over a long period of time. Nor

A regular thought (not plan) would be to reproduce the 240 SL using lightweight materials on an appropriate EV skateboard with modern ADAS systems and not many other changes.

Saabs were great cars because they did practicality with a little bit of zest and elan, pure IYKYK. The death of physical buttons and simple interfaces in car interiors is an enormous safety issue. I suspect this serious issue is widely dis

I give Tufte's (admittedly imperfect) thoughts on this deck and David Foster Wallace's This is Water ( https://fs.blog/david-foster-wallace-this-is-water/ ) to every new member of my team to read and make it ap

Cool, we have executive officers for a reason.

This is less of an acquisition and more of a marketing expense for GCP. A stellar Rolodex and a great way to meet new clients, especially if they succeed in the breach.

I now use the discovery of something obviously stupid as a fairly reliable detection mechanism for either a broken system/process and/or a context cue that I am missing some larger, typically organizational, part of the picture. I

This tool generates most of my cities for my tabletop games (OSE [B/X]). He has a fully integrated system that can take you from territory to town level. It's really impressive stuff. Also saves refs like myself hours of (very poo

There are a fair number of reviewers out there (Catchpole, Savagegeese) who are starting to savage some of this stuff. Physical buttons are a safety feature.

No, we actually do lose the night sky as we understand it and have understood it for generations. That literally is a thing. No, there are many scientific instruments, basic optical telescopes, advanced observatories to NEO detection tools

I live under KTEB’s most common departure procedure and very much want to integrate this with my current ADS-B exchange setup. Super excited to give this a shot, hopefully won’t freak out the neighbors too much.

Momentarily setting aside the human tragedy of losing the night sky for...broadband internet. We can manage externalities through taxation. Large constellations should be funding space-based sensors across all spectrums for regular astronom

Since we are capable of EMP-hardening very large airframes (see Nightwatch, Looking Glass, SAM) I assume shielding crucial systems on a drone would be an initial design challenge but not impossible.

Air to air combat kills are rare because the strategic circumstances that would make them numerous enough to be unexceptional would likely tree up to minor-to-major nuclear conflict. More directly, am struck that the average person has yet

Also I believe the F-35 still has a landing gear lever, I would never want my gear lever to be contextually defined. I want that visual cue as I scan my cockpit prior to landing.

Too bad, totally different from my experience. I ordered and configured my car in the first early-adopter wave via the web form though so perhaps those were a better experience. Or I just got lucky.

I recall a period in the early 2000s when unindicated whole-body CAT-scans were being advertised on television. That got knocked down pretty quickly but wow a lot of folks picked up a big chunk of their lifetime radiation allowance because
