Is this really possible? I don't know much technical details about GPS, but I thought a large component was time-based. If my understanding is correct, wouldn't rebroadcasting fail because the times didn't match correctly?
awesome.... exactly my thought :)
> But piracy is good right?
Death to DRM!
> That content above seems to be very popular sentiment on HN and other techy places. I don't understand that since all you hurt are people like the author of this post.

You can't begin to understand it, if you don't understand the 'sentiment' you describe in the first place.

Nobody is saying that it is OK to steal someone's work and not pay them for it. The argument against DRM is usually that:

1. I shouldn't, as a paying customer, be required to purchase multiple times just to consume on a different platform, this increases piracy.

2. You shouldn't charge prices that your customers can't afford to pay, increases piracy.

3. DRM punishes paying customers while pirates get a better (unrestricted) version anyway, so where's the incentive to not pirate?

...and many more.

Notice how none of these endorse piracy as a good thing, merely point out that these factors lead to it.
Nope, modern subway stations aren't necessarily deeper than that. Plus TBM's bores are much smaller diameter than traditional holes. Plus they don't need the peripheral infrastructures needed with subways systems just elevators and I'm assuming emergency stairs.
That doesn't mean there's no HFT; automated trading as fast as the exchanges allow is HFT.
I had a conversation with someone in Taipei once, asking them if they had puns in Mandarin, after explaining what's puns were he said "oh no", which mystified me because just about every word has different meanings by changing the tone on the vowel ... When I asked about that it was "oh yes we do that all the time"

Dota pros vs. OpenAi (How many hours of training?)
Guys does any of you know how much hours OpenAi bot was playing dota before it was able to beat Dota pros?
Listen, everyone has an urge to belong to some group.

You might not act on the urge as Woody Allen:

“I'd never join a club that would allow a person like me to become a member.”

The illumaniti exists and it's at the top of the pyramid.

But they are just like you and me, the only difference that they (or their ancestors) climbed up first.

What do they see? No step to climb higher only others below clambering up.

Tesla opened some of their patents, and only if you in return give all of your patents to Tesla.

This is also why no carmaker except for Mercedes has used Tesla patents at all, and Mercedes simply bought 5% of Tesla to get the patents.
Pretty much any popular group activity fits that pattern. I play basketball and hack on Python, and both have been excellent ways to meet interesting people in new towns. It helps (with basketball at least) to be good, but mostly you just have to be a friendly person and go hang out at the gym/Meetup.

Clearly you have a solid understanding of the English language. Have you ever tried expressing your thoughts (provided that you can avoid being offensive) to someone in person? Like if the mailman is trying to make conversation, say "Sorry, I'm terrible at social stuff." If you follow directions too literally, say "Sorry, I'm a bit autistic." If you're really embarrassed, say "That was so embarrassing."

Talking about your inner experience gives you something to talk about, and leaves the other person with a better understanding of the situation.

I'm not actually sure if these are good ideas (I'm probably a bit autistic myself), but given that avoiding contact leaves you with no reputation whatsoever, having a reputation as a weird person isn't really any worse.
We have the same root cause analysis for train incidents, and rich people certainly don't take the train..

It's just our totally useless perception of risk along with some other unfortunate qualities of humans. Trains are very safe but when something happens it's usually lots of casualties, destruction and press coverage (same for planes). Many many more people die from car crashes but you'll never see root cause analysis there, instead you have police falling over each other trying to blame whichever party is dead.

What do you mean ?
As employee: In order for the US company to be able to pay their share of your income tax, health insurance and similar, they need to be a registered business in Europe. That means opening a subsidiary and thus a managing directory, budget, budget authority, more tax forms and paperwork. Lots of hassle.

As a contractor: Here you register as a sole trader (depends on country) and pay income tax, health insurance etc yourself and send them a single invoice end of the month. Your contract (might need to translated in two languages side-by-side) needs to say you're free to take on other clients, you can subcontract, hire employees etc. They can't tell you how much holiday entitlement you have. You'll loose other employee privileges like stock options as well. If employees get bonus payments you won't (otherwise it looks too fishy to the tax authorities).

Third option is to find a European company which is tax registered and can make income tax, health insurance payments locally. They'd act on behalf of your employer. Look for accountancy offices. It will require lots of inquiries and phone call to find those.

Similarly you make a deal by getting hired by a European employment agency (web development shop or such) and they deal with all taxes. You get a standard salary, they send an invoice to your employer.

Actual payments (US bank account => EU bank account) is easily. I'd recommend negotiating the fees in Euro. But be prepared if it's USD and you face currency fluctuation.

VAT tax doesn't apply.

Good luck. Key is finding a lawyer specialized in employment law that can draft a bi-lingual contract. In the first year you might have to file taxes in both countries.
Terrible plan, even if it double or tripled in a year you're not going to retire from that and given its history it's entirely possible it'll be half the current value next year.
Great! Exactly what I'm looking for. Any more of this?
Processes are templates, anyone that treats them as dogma is doing it wrong... a good process simply facilitates effective communication and planning with the lowest possible overhead.

Agile/Scrum/waterfall/etc should be used as inspiration - but the right process is custom built for each situation.

The only thing that really matters is periodically retrospecting and refining - cut the cruft, fix the flaws, and reinforce what's working.
It'd be very easy to make a law outlawing high-resoluton satellite positioning systems. All lawmakers would need to claim is it was a national security issue that terrorists could use blah blah.

From a technical perspective it's not hard at all, but corporations are probably leery of launching (no pun intended) such a business.
> incidents involving the police, isn't taken because somehow the people most affected are seen as somehow not really worth the time and effort

American police are significantly more dangerous than most European police forces because of this. The lives of those killed by police are deemed not to matter.

It's not something intrinsic to the nature of police, it's a set of local - often hyperlocal - policy choices.
The "Radio" channels that have been curated by an actual human are nice.

Not only old news as suggested in other comments, but not hard to do either; IIRC, this was done 1 or 2 DEF CONs ago, not only for GPS, but also for older systems that use radio beacons (Aircraft? not sure..) and A-GPS (spoofing GSM radios).

Right, though the issue is not much about risk and complexity, but rather by sheer power needed to push the air in a tunnel.

The smaller the tunnel is, the smaller is the size of the ventilation tubes that can be used, and thus you need more power to push the air inside.

The amount of air needed by an electric motor is "0", whilst the amount of air needed by a combustion engine is something that needs to be evaluated on a case by case basis, normally the rule of the thumb is 4 cubic meters per minute for each Diesel HP (i.e. with kW's 5.4/KW).

And you have to assure anywyay some air to the people, usually 3 cubic meters per person per minute is used.

And there is anywyay a limit to the pressure with which you can pump air in, because the "return speed" is usually limited to a maximum of 0.5 m/s (as higher speed may cause the transportation of dust and particles).

And then of course the longer the tunnel is the more powerful must the ventilating fans be, we are talking of several hundreds of kW to power these fans.
I think the better summary would be "there will never be a pill against aging that works through altering metabolism, ultimately mimicking calorie restriction". The reason is simple: even calorie restriction is not a solution to aging, so calorie restriction mimic can't be. I think this is obviously correct.

I think Reason is neutral about other ways against aging which is not through metabolism.

Many people I know have always pirated software and TV and said once there was a reasonable way to get it legally they would pay for it. I haven't seen this be the case. I don't think you can convert pirates.

It is possible however to convert legal users to pirates by having systems that annoy people who have legally purchased. I don't know how you strike the balance.

I hate the entitlement of people who pirate stuff, if it's not legally available in your area that's a shame but it doesn't give you a right to it.
I don't know that any military equipment relies on GPS. They use it preferentially, but have other things they can fall back to. JDAMs, for example, have an inertial navigation system in addition to GPS. I'm sure that these weapons have the ability to detect spoofing by seeing that GPS is diverging significantly from the INS output. The weapon is less accurate without GPS so spoofing (or just plain jamming) could be used to reduce its accuracy somewhat, but probably couldn't be used to make it hit a completely different target.
On the map probably. If you wanted to do this, it wouldn't be handy to do it in a country or for a country that actively scans for radio spoofing, jamming or illegal use of radio bands. Considering that out of all the countries nearby only one or two would have the means it's not hard to figure out would would want to do this.

The point of the "narrative statement" is to show what value implementing a story will bring to help bring a relative priority order to things. Otherwise people keep championing their pet features, without focusing on _what's the point_ of this feature.

"As a user, I want to be able to find the full version number of the product to make it easier to get help when raising support requests".

This is now something we can argue about — is this story bringing more or less value than, e.g. setting reminders or 2FA?

If you write the narrative statements in a banal or glib way, just for the sake of them, then of course there's no point, but that's true of most processes — e.g. JavaDocs are a good idea in principle, but you can make them equally useless: "return Boolean: true or false".
Anyone who traffics in buzzwords without adding value is the problem. Scrum is fantastic when you understand the why of its process instead of just following the rules. If you schedule scrums and sprint planning, then accept ungroomed stories, change priorities, deliver without testing, then you are doing it wrong. Really disciplined and experienced teams can follow the intent without the process, but more often than not you need rules to keep everyone aligned.
In the real world, that's illegal. In the bitcoin world, it will be eventually but until then, looking at the order book is a waste of time, it's all fake.
Groucho Marx was the author of that quote, I believe.
The question is: match with what?

Part of the GPS calculation is to figure out what time it is. There is no reference needed other than what the satellites broadcast. If you are rebroadcasting the entire GPS signal it includes all of the satellites, and will be self-consistent.

Also, in the case of a rebroadcast it need not be delayed by more than something on the order of a microsecond or so.

If the receiver has some sort of out-of-channel time reference that is accurate to nanosecond levels I suppose that could be used as a check, but that sort of thing takes an atomic clock and doesn't fit in a wristwatch.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

I know several people who are highly-scientifically minded (i.e., masters or PhD qualified in mainstream science disciplines), who've had afflictions like yours, and have resorted to similarly unproven or "debunked" treatments, and have found them effective when nothing else was.

The type system is still working properly in that it will produce code that compiles and runs. For the developer such a behaviour can be misleading. This is compounded by IDE's with intellisense which will suggest passing random objects with the correct properties into the function.
iirc, they actually contacted Max Howell (creator of homebrew) and got his input on how to make command line tools work better for developers and homebrew specifically.
I would argue that when you're talking about free software, having documentation for common problems in popular software is the only reasonable expectation. Also that many/most of the most popular Linux tools have extensive documentation of their own.

You seem to have tried everything - have you also tried what Dr Kruse suggests? He is very pitchy and I doubt that everything he says is true, but his theory about natural sunlight and DHA sounds reasonable. Basically he says, get as much DHA as you can, ideally from fresh seafood; and get as much natural sunlight with proper retina exposure, or get a UV lamp (like Osram Vitalux 300w) and a near infrared bulb, and avoid LEDs and energy saving CFLs as much as possible. He claims that electron transport in the body is impaired if either DHA or retinal UV exposure is absent. I've noticed a lot of energy improvement since trying that, but have to take it further to be sure. Some people at phoenixrising have started intranasal infrared/laser therapy and reported great improvements, though those devices cost up to 1k (I think the mechanism is that near infrared helps repair mitochondrial membranes in the brain, which an intranasal laser can actually penetrate).

How much water do you drink day-to-day?

I've recently been discovering I'm chronically super dehydrated, and it turns out you feel like shit all the time when you're dehydrated!

At minimum I now hear you're supposed to drink 64oz/day, or better, your body weight / 2 in oz.

Anyway, this was something very basic that escaped me for years, it's the sort of thing that is so simple nobody pays attention to it, but it has a very big impact on your whole system.

I'm not saying it's your root problem, but if you are dehydrated along with the CFS, fixing that should still improve your day-to-day noticeably.

Good idea for an unlimited trial but it's for videos, so watermarking would be a performance sink.
The stories aren't just for developers. If business doesn't understand the intent, they don't understand the value and can't set priority.
>Is this really possible? I don't know much technical details about GPS, but I thought a large component was time-based.

Yes, it's possible mostly because you can drown out the weak signals coming from satellites with much stronger terrestrial ones.

There is also a new generation of GPS planned that will help mitigate future attacks, but it's getting delayed like crazy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Block_IIIA

Also, see this article on how it's technically feasible: https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2023/DEF%20CON%2023%20pre...

The thought experiment explicitly implies BitCoin usurping the $USD as a global currency, and presumably all other ones as well. I'd agree with your assessment of which countries/currencies are realistically much more likely to suffer, but thought I'd engage with the thought experiment on its original premise.

On the aircraft carrier issue - the killer app (literally) for cryptocurrencies is autonomous weapon systems. Imagine if you could deposit $Xm Bitcoins into an address and have access to a fleet of 100,000 drones on 10,000 speedboats. At that point, we're really in uncharted territory, though.
A piece of software I sell is so complicated to set up/configure and missing any documentation so you have no chance to successfully use it without my guidance and support.

The configuration is a one-time thing, the daily use is simple, so this is no problem for usability. And the software is a niche application with very few potential and real customers.
If a plane has a serious issue 10 000 feet off, every one in it will die. Fact of life: Humans don't fly.

Most issues have a reproducible reason, so it's likely that the same problem will happen on many many planes and kill a whole lot of people.

For the comparison, cars are risk free. What happens when your car is broken? You just can't go anywhere. It's not like people are falling off the sky in pack of a few hundreds at a time.
