You need a gateway more or less since the devices don't use the same physical means of communication as the other ones on the network. The mesh network devices in this post use a 802.15.4-compatible radio, which doesn't work with wi-fi on a physical layer, so the gateway translates this (and IPv4 <-> IPv6).

All RF communication is regulated (broadly speaking). On the relevant freq. bands here, the ISM bands on 868/915 and 2.4 GHz, the bands are unlicensed (you don't need a license) but you have to comply with certain rules. You must not send too strong, or too much, or occupy too wide freq. band. You must be able to cope with other transmitters.

Re phones and connections, I think what you mean is ad hoc mesh networks using the wi-fi that the phones (and laptops) have built in. Then you get a network in which the devices can communicate with each other (share files, messages,etc), where they otherwise might have required internet to reach eachother. It's a different (but interesting) thing...

A breach of emails at a cyber security consulting firm (among other things) is very serious. It gives an attacker (consider a criminal organization) a look at a large number of private firms. On the non technical side is may disclose cyber security budgets, people in decision making positions, strategy and application lists. The technicals could be worse including test accounts/urls, application stacks, CVE lists, release cycles, source code (hope not!) and all the other data you would need to give a trusted external provider of cyber security.

Security firms have so many keys to so many kingdoms it’s frightening.
No, not oil. The Haber process uses hydrogen. Which almost all comes from natural gas right now.

(A note to clean hydrogen advocates: this is a much better market for hydrogen than burning it or converting to synthetic methane as it costs money to convert natural gas to hydrogen. Displace all that natural gas used for ammonia and nitrate fertilizer production before moving to burning it.)
A more pragmatic Web 3.0: Linked Blockchain Data [pdf]
Most NDAs have two parts: non-disclosure and non-use. That means that parties won't disclose the confidential info that is shared, and they won't use that information except for the express purpose of the agreement (usually assessing a partnership or customer relationship).

One Silicon Valley company that is well-known for not having a non-use clause is Intel. This means that they can use any confidential information in their own business, in any way they desire.

It's not problematic to sign an agreement like this with another startup because they are unlikely to have the time/money to start competing with you on your home turf. But big companies can squash you like a bug if they so desire.

Other reasons to carefully review an NDA:

Make sure it's bilateral, not unilateral

Check to see how long it's in effect for — usually the parties are permitted to disclose / use the info after 2-5 years

Make sure the above clause has an exception for trade secrets that are still secret (which they should not be allowed to disclose even after the expiration)
I still don't see how this relates to farm automation: automation didn't significantly change the price point, it increased production, decreased labor costs and increased equipment/maintenance costs.
The profit requirements are harsh in the world of medium and large consultancy firms. Internal IT is a cost center that is probably understaffed, underpaid and needs to operate at lowest cost possible.

Commas and full stops have meaning. You’re modifying the original quote without telling the reader that you have done so. How this became the accepted practice in so many style guides and grammar checkers I will never understand.

Steven Pinker’s The Sense of Style [1] can provide the unconvinced further justification.

The Controversial Crisis of Caring
I'm also curious on your (GP's) set up
Sure, i explained it here earlier today: https://github.com/xem/sheet/issues/4
You have my upvotes on all those comments. I'm with you on this.

Thing is, lots of people on HN have internalized the "dumb UX FTW" principle - which is entirely understandable from the business point of view, where you care primarily about your sales, not about the value your users derive from your product - and by criticizing this point of view, you're implicitly criticizing their jobs or products. Hence the downvotes.

(In particular, a lot of developers despise options, because they increase "costs of support" - i.e. there are many more things that can break when you start mindlessly piling up new features.)

But criticize this trend we must, and loudly, because at large it is circular reasoning. Users want dumb software because they choose it, and they choose it because that's all that is available to choose from.

Computers are a tool that could give unprecedenced powers to individuals. Powers to learn and solve their individual problems themselves. And the software market is seriously, and increasingly, underserving individuals. It is understandable - companies prefer you to pay them instead of solving your problems yourself. But "what sells best right-fucking-now" is not the same as "what's the right thing to do".

After I started working for a prominent company in the field, the only thing I can say is I really hope none of the top people I met ever turn blackhat. Regardless of how good your practices are they would be able to get in and given intimate knowledge of IR tools and processes there will be virtually 0 chance of detection.
I bought an RTL SDR just a few weeks ago off the back of getting interested in listening in on various web SDRs (furthermore, the first of which I visited was linked to a HN thread about a Russian numbers station).

Now I can pick up local signals and listen/decode them and get a sense of what the spectrum (in my case between about 60MHz and 2.1GHz for the range of my receiver) is used for.

Running the software on Linux is super simple, a graphical receiver programme such as gqrx is quite nice to play with, and versions exist in most distros package managers.

Further to all of the above, I looked at the RSGB site about UK licensing, and they have example exams for all license levels. The first exam I looked at I self-scored at about 85% without even doing any reading at all - though I have some basic knowledge of electronics (and a tiny bit about radio) already. In the UK there is also OFCOM which manages the local legalities of radio reception and transmission.

I know the vast majority of you are 6-figure types and MMM is still making 6 figures annually from his blog and his wife's 'hobby' business and that he never actually has to touch his retirement investments and can in fact add more money to them annually than most people in the U.S. actually gross.

According to the U.S Census Bureau "The per capita income for the overall population in 2008 was $26,964; for non-Hispanic Whites, it was $31,313; for Blacks, it was $18,406; for Asians, it was $30,292; and for Hispanics, it was $15,674."

It's taken me 11 years to get to 32k, I got super lucky early this summer and got hired for some remote work, full time on top of my current job, for a tech company thanks to someone at YC helping me out. A day after I started I was told I was inelligible for employment because several years ago I had to file bankruptcy.

So while you all sit nice and well with your 6-figure incomes, talking about how horrible your lives are when you earn more in a year than I do in 3-5 years BEFORE your bonuses and 401k match and all the benefits you get that real businesses don't offer their employees... just know a lot of us are busting our asses just to feed ourselves.
I have recently more problems with sites, that embedded a little Javascript, which tests if access to these ad farms are blocked and if so, then redirecting to a site on how to enable ads.

Currently, I set uBlock Origin to block inline Javascript. But it becomes really messy, as that blocks also valid Javascript for slides show and so on. Not even talking about those site, which essentially work only with Javascript enabled at all.

I used to hover around 30-40, now I am more busy or wasting my time, so I am around 15.

It's not even that though -- we can distribute, very well. We can send grain in container ships, do air drops, land trains, all sorts. We can process, preserve, etc. to avoid spoiling.

None of that is the problem that causes famine.

We don't want to feed people who aren't paying; or people in power don't see it as useful.

It's not a practical problem it's all political, surely?
As funny as it sounds the "we get your first born child" clauses in the NDAs are not a rare occurrence. One NDA I was required to sign explicitly stated that every idea or functionality I developed on other projects for up to twelve months after delivery of their project was subject to review by the issuer of the NDA (not even a 3rd party) and that if anything even remotely similar to functionality I will be creating within the new project they're rightful owners of it or that they are able to sue me.
Right. Consider the consulting costs, billed internally, to do all the things. It would destroy margin to spend the same on yourself as your largest clients spend on you.

As your homework shows, nitrogen fertilizer comes from hydrogen which comes from natural gas, not petroleum.

Maybe if we were all aware of this, we'd be setting up clean hydrogen to be converted into ammonia instead of just burning it in hydrogen cars.
Agreed. If you see how Amazon has done acquisitions in the past, they like to brutalize companies by aggressively undercutting them and then buying them for cheap after their value goes down. That's what happened to Zappos and Quidsi, it's a strategy that's saved them hundreds of millions. I like Amazon and I basically worship Bezos but I would not like it if they moved into my line of business.

One day , i came across a lady’s advert on quora talking more about how real, fast Kevin was. I contacted him and business between him and i was a sap without any problems and he made my day . However, I would recommend that you contact him but be aware don't do so if you're not ready, Go there unless you are highly aware of computer security and plan on participating in illegal activities regularly. Basically you won't find those things anywhere near this side of the web unless you visit him for such.
I will drop his contact for serious people in need of hacker. You can contact him through his custom email account.

Oh God, this issue thread is a perfect example of the problem with UX trends that's plaguing our industry.

Its TL;DR is this: this software is magic. It syncs automagically. You, the dumb user, are not supposed to know and care when it syncs or if it succeeds (hint: it's magic, it always does), and you're especially not supposed to tell the program that it has to do a sync. If your company's firewall interferes with the magic, go talk to your company IT.

The article sums up the issue perfectly: sometimes, as a user, I know better when the program is mistaken than the program itself. I should have a way to force it to refresh its state.
In theory, a good web-app encodes state in the URL as you work, so you don't lose everything on refresh. Google Maps is a good example.

The UN Is Normalizing Pedophilia: Deep State Is Free to Prey Upon Your Children
You made it sound like? Of course it is handled by the spec, the issue here is in ntpd not following the spec (assuming what the author says is true, I haven't checked).

Or actually there is this little tidbit from RFC 5905:

> Eras cannot be produced by NTP
directly, nor is there need to do so. When necessary, they can be
derived from external means, such as the filesystem or dedicated
hardware.

So it could be that ntpd looks at some file or the rtc to determine the era rather than assuming the current system time is in the correct era, and it would be allowed by the spec. But it's quite inconsistent if it only does it if the system time is more than a few milliseconds off (presumably beyond the limit of when it corrects the time by time stretching). I'm going to go with it just being a bug in ntpd.

Why is that a problem? If you're Heathrow you care about how much overall downtime you have, you don't care about whether you're down at the same time as Charles de Gaulle.

Cuphead: creating a game that looks like a 1930s cartoon
This is really bothersome to me in a very personal way right now. I'm about to start a job at Deloitte. They have this super-onerous background investigation process (completely separate from any security clearance investigation, this is just their own background check). They want to dig into my financial, look at my contracts and invoices and tax returns, for the years I've been working freelance. All to prove I wasn't just sitting on my ass, playing video games for the last 7 years. I'm not giving them my contracts! They can't keep their own data secure, I'm really supposed to believe the asshole programmers who built their web 1.0 data collection portal is going to keep my clients' proprietary information secure?
