I grew up in a home with an early-model SyQuest cartridge drive hooked to a Macintosh via SCSI.

When the rabbit-ears TV in the same room was turned on and tuned to the right frequency, you could hear the leakage from the drive; it sounded like lower-frequency modem chatter. Not entirely sure what part of the drive was leaking that much RF, but I don't think it was intended to work that way.

Right, because:

The crack in Larsen C grew around 30 kilometres in length
between 2011 and 2015. And as it grew, also became wider — by

It feels pedantic, but honestly something so fundamental as confusing length and width makes this much more difficult to read at first glance than it should be.
All the auction does is create a "hidden tax" for cell phone users since all the company does is pass the costs on to the rate payers. Since cell phones and smart phones are not a luxury but are now essential, it is a regressive tax on the poor.

I wouldn't be proud of this. I would rather have seen the spectrum given to the cell phone providers the way that spectrum was originally given to radio and TV broadcasters in the US.
I dont believe there would need to be a 20% tax rate increase because we already pay far more per person in the US than anywhere else in the world (mostly)

Related to this there is now a whole subset of shady/gray market VoIP, SIP trunking providers who specialize in "dialer" traffic and calls which have low ACD. They specifically market to outbound call centers and automated dialer traffic and have their own special rate tiers for such traffic.

Conversely there are a number of large, more ethical SIP providers who will cut you off if your outbound traffic consistently falls into the same pattern with low ACD. "No dialer traffic" is turning up in Terms of Service agreements with greater frequency.

I know a low-income housing developer and, at least in California, eminent domain isn't a problem at all. I don't think in any state will a court accept such speculative claims of value, but that's certainly not the case in California. According to the developer I know, municipalities inevitably end up paying less than her original offer to the property owner. And the court case proceeds rather swiftly.

AFAIU, the biggest headaches are environmental impact reports, _especially_ in California. It's not the burden of creating the report. There are reputable companies that specialize in these studies and are exceedingly efficient at it. For moderate to big projects the cost of the report is minimal; for tiny projects less so, but at least it's something you can easily budget ahead of time. For urban projects there are rarely any real surprises.

The real problem is that the laws requiring environmental impact reports provide a cause of action to local NIMBY groups, who then hire a law firm to drag their challenge out forever. Because these reports are so detailed, there's ample opportunity to nit-pick. This is especially bad in California because California's environmental impact law forbids courts from imposing costs on plaintiffs. Even the most flagrant abuses of the system go unpunished.

Time is money, especially when it comes to lining up financing. Even moderate delays can ruin budgets.

> As someone who has designed and built switching power supplies, the article brought back funny memories.

Myself also. I designed switching power supplies for the Space Shuttle, some of which were meant to power fluorescent lights. NASA wanted dimmable fluorescent lights in the crew quarters, but they also wanted no EMI. Well, they got both -- I figured out a way to dim the fluorescents using a magnetic amplifier instead of the semiconductor switching methods that were common at the time, and (as I intended) the magnetic amplifier created no interference at all.

I just tried publishing my first app to the Play store and am in the middle of a horrible experience.

I wrote a little app to help myself learn birdsong. You copy some mp3s to a folder on your sdcard, open the folder in the app, and it will shuffle them and only show you the name of the file if you ask. Pretty simple, but I found it useful and thought it might be useful to other people. So I pay my $25, upload my app, and wake up the next day to an email saying my app had been suspended for "deceitful behaviour" and that it happened again they might suspend my other Google services, for instance the gmail account I've had since 2004.

Of course the email doesn't contain any information on what the deceitful behavior was, so like a Kafka story, I'm stuck defending myself against charges that I'm never informed of. When I heard back from support, they say that my app opens to a list of mp3 apps to download. So either my account has been hacked and someone changed the app apk, or they are unable to tell the difference between a directory listing from the sdcard and a list of mp3 apps. If the latter, how my app can be deceitful when it matches one of the screenshots I attached is completely beyond me.

Once my email migration to fastmail is complete, I'll rename my app and try again, this time with a modified UI that makes you click a button before showing a directory listing. I'd like to get my $25 worth if nothing else.

This whole incident has left me with zero confidence in their customer service or technical competence.
Because lack of demand and because v4 NAT still works.

Other reasons may vary from company to company. Sometimes, because first experiments with v6 were failures (users reported connectivity issues - remote systems weren't working well, but it's ISP who gets the blame). And sometimes because proper v6 deployment takes a significant effort even if a company's lucky that the existing software was written with some v6 support in mind.

Most users don't even know what "IP address" actually is (they know the words and, in best case, that it's some numbers), not that it has "versions" or anything.

I believe mobile carriers need v6, as they have way too many always-connected devices on the network. Cable companies have more breathing space in this regard.

I have this feeling that in this case the neon tube or wiring on the sign is 'bad' and also unfortunately working unusually well as an antenna.

It'd be interesting to probe that sign with a high voltage oscilloscope probe.

I don't see any confusion there. The "length" of the crack is its long dimension, from end to end, and the "width" is how far the two sides have spread away from each another.

If a browser doesn't support that, it's probably not going to support the image format you're trying to negotiate anyway. In that case it's just going to fall back to the enclosed default img which is exactly what you'd want.
oh absolutely. But you can also do the same thing with equipment you own. I run mostly VM's because it's easy to spin one up, test something, and kill it. My problem isn't virtualized infrastructure, it's letting go of control, for no actual gain.
@gutnor has very salient point - China started from nothing and have to create everything....and i mean everything. That 'greenfield' means no existing infra to be replaced/removed which has its own costs.

infra building in China is vastly seen as in the public good and generally is. Airports, railways, highways are viewed positively by the public and not seen as pocket-lining by large corporates so even toll-roads are acceptable here.

politics - there is so much to do and no time to do it. So things get decided and executed at a breathless pace to get China infra on a level with developed nations by 2025. Dont forget China really only started building in early 80's to create infra that in Europe has been around up to a few hundred years.

As someone who has lived here in China for more than 10 years it is still amazing to watch first hand. Shanghai for 6 years and now Guangzhou .... the pace is frenetic but bottom line is the quality of life has improved to light years ahead of what i saw when i first stepped across the border to Shenzhen on a short visit with parents in December 1980.

I mean...there's not much more to the story than that. 2011 was a bit crazy for the Sun [1]. There were two or three x-class flares that jammed transmission for a short period. Multiple customer reports coincided with the February and August events that year. The February flare was caused by sunspot 1158 [2] and the August flare was caused by sunspot 1263 [3].

Deploying those locks across hundreds of locations we saw quite a bit of unusual stuff. Locks would work fine on one side of a building but not the other - the bad side faced the San Francisco bay - deduced it was from all the SF/Oakland Radio traffic.

Another location would experience problems during baseball games. (Stadium was next door).

Cell tower guys have even crazier stories. One involves my colleague who had a bitcoin mine in his garage. Few dozen graphics cards humming along at ~900MHz knocked out the whole voice uplink for 4 square miles. (He happened to be pretty close to the cell tower and raised the noise floor just enough to make cell phones all but useless.)

> Curl isn't a framework.

I wasn't under the impression we should be limiting this to frameworks. What's the difference between a framework and a library for the purpose of this discussion? I think they are functionally equivalent. I was clear to equate it to crypto originally, which doesn't really make sense when viewed as applying to frameworks only. We're a couple comments removed from that, I thought that wasn't in question. Same with an HTTP client. Frameworks don't event necessarily implement clients. I'm addressing NIH syndrome, and I don't think frameworks really deserve special consideration in any way.

> Because lack of demand and because v4 NAT still works.

In a sense it's catch 22. To increase demand, ISPs should support IPv6. Otherwise everyone is forced to support IPv4 for their sites and services, and why would users demand ISPs to support IPv6 if sites and services work anyway?...

The problem is, NAT doesn't work. I.e. it kind of works, but it's a huge pain and cost to support for anyone who has to deal with it (from development standpoint). In essence, it's a monstrosity which only magnifies the problem by delaying the global switch.

So essentially in order to solve this, everyone should be putting an effort into enabling IPv6, and if someone waits for others to demand it, they are harming the whole transition.
