It wasn't hard to get tickets, you just had to get them as soon as they went on sale directly from Kennedy Space Center:

https://www.kennedyspacecenter.com/launches-and-events/event...

I bought them from their website and it was $195 / ticket? It came with a pretty respectable lunch, a shuttle tour of KSC, and a single day full pass to explore KSC. Also, the announcer there in person was Bill Nye, the Science Guy. He spent much of the time talking about the Planetary Society's Light Sail project and all about SpaceX. They had a DJ and it was a pretty well organized event. My wife and I went to the launch, explored Orlando for a day, and then went to KSC as we figured all of the Falcon Heavy people would go to KSC the day after the launch. It was perfect! My wife wasn't a huge space fan before and this turned her into one, I highly recommend it!
> Shoppers are performing the labor that cashiers performed previously and they aren't getting paid for it

Many will claim that shoppers are indirectly 'getting paid for it' by either lower grocery prices or annual increase in prices which is less than it would be with the antiquated meat-based checkout system.
> The US federal government can pass laws directly binding on the citizens of every state, but cannot compel state governments to pass and enforce particular laws.

Only in theory.

See the National Minimum Drinking Age Act[0] for an example of when the Federal Government forced states to enforce a age 21 drinking minimum. When an entity controls the purse strings limits on their power are largely theoretical.

7x magnification, because more makes 'em jittery and hard to aim. You pretty much need a tripod past 10x, and 7-10 is a good compromise with enough field of view to quickly find an object against an empty sky.

Less than 7 doesn't really show you much more than you can see with the naked eye.

50mm objective lens gives you good light-gathering power. Which you don't need for a day launch or birdwatching, but it's important for night stuff. You could get 7x20's (opera glasses) and be just fine, but the 50's aren't that much more expensive and they'll apply to a lot more situations.

Yea, it's certainly struggling. I don't know of any quick fixes, so I kicked off the service on more ports for now.

How can I perform DNS rebinding using evil twin in local level?
how can i perform dns rebinding using evil twin in local level ?

as the title says i want to perform this attack https://sinister.ly/Thread-DNS-Rebinding-Attack

using evil twin on local level

the curl command to login into the router

curl "http://192.168.1.1/" --data "frashnum=&action=login&Frm_Logintoken=25&Username=admin&Password=admin"
the curl command to get the page that contains the wifi password

curl -v -X GET "http://192.168.1.1/getpage.gch?pid=1002^&nextpage=net_t.gch" -o 565.html
this how i was planing to perform the attack
evil twining a wifi using fluxion or whatever .... when the user opens the captive portal sign in network page (that has dns rebinding scripts in it )is detected we stop the ddos ... the user auto connects to his wifi then the page refreshes and execute the dns rebinding attack to get the wifi password from his router ....

but now i don't know how will get the html file back if want to use it in local level only

thought about another way around this by enabling the second ssid instead of the WiFi password .. wouldn't xss do this better ?
the second problem is how will the page refresh when the server is offline .

can we make it check if it's connected the internet
if yes then execute the code ?!

what do you think folks ?

FWIW, I did this with a 2011 MacBook pro 17" 7 times, and it worked every time. Each time it worked for about 3 months, and then the video card would glitch out again. Finally, apple did a warrantee extension on that logic board and replaced it.

Just my 2¢ to say that it does work sometimes.

I'm sorry if the roughness of the blog post difficult hard to understand. I conclude that I should resign because of (1) the significant legal issues involved with being employed by Univ of Washington, (2) the split in attention required to do two competing things at once, and (3) me being the wrong person to start a foundation funded open source mathematics institute.

Giving up a tenured full professor job isn't just some trivial decision one makes "just because you want to". I've been thinking about this deeply for years...

Same! My wife and I had the feel the heat tickets. We woke up at 5AM on launch day and didn't get to the Apollo / Saturn V center until around 11am. The line was crazytown.

One note: tickets sell out really fast, i Believe I heard within the first half hour.

I second though getting there to be apart of it is incredible.

One final note: seems like SpaceX is a bit superstitious, they didn’t sell the mission badges until after launch.
I don't agree with that statement for "every teenage kid ever". Most kids appreciate separation from adult attention and accompanying concerns, responsibilities, passions, conflicts...

Short answer, no. He’s just being cute.

Longer answer... well... two components I can specifically think of can be effected by shock and vibration:

1. Spinning disk hard drives are one, although you could probably debate this because there are protections in place. The idea being read, shock, corrupted read now in ram. Head of a hard drive should park itself under shock, and checksum bits should protect against bad reads.

2. The other is crystal isolators. XTALs are tuning forks. And if you physically hit them the right way, they vibrate. It’s absolutely possible to induce a pulse per minute variance with a crystal oscillator under vibration. A lot of Apple products are moving to MEMS clocks, which are silicon “solid-state”, do not suffer the same problem, smaller, cheaper, but have other issues (remember that story about iPhones dying in the hospital because someone vented the helium? MEMS can die in helium, but the story was nonsense, not even slightly enough ratios to actually affect phones). Don’t know if you could hit a crystal oscillator so hard and so sharp that you actually injected a full clock cycle into a running device, but, answer the question yeah it kind of sort of could be possible to corrupt ram with a shock to a crystal and probably ceramic clock.
How would a blackhat grab the wallet if it's GPG encrypted and needs the passphrase from the dev?
Hi Everyone! I'm glad to see so much interest in this Image in this amazing community. I'm the CTO of Observatorio El Sauce, the observatory where this telescope is located. This place is a fully robotic observatory that provides a service called "Telescope Hosting", which basically means that people send their telescopes and observe remotely from wherever they live.
Why would they do that instead of observing from their backyards?
That's because in that part of Chile we have the best sky quality for astronomy in the world, in terms of amount of clear nights a year (320 clera nights a year), light pollution (class 1 en Bortle scale), and in something called "seeing" (average below 1"), which is a measure of the smallest thing the sky would allow you to image (the smaller the better). Thus, from our observatory our clients get the best possible image they can get with their telescopes.

Also, a good friend of mine developed this digital scope so you can zoom in the picture easily without going back to the 90ties internet experience:

For those that didn't read the article the error he made was using a small toaster oven. And then cranking up the heat at the last moment. The oven's thermostat is reading the current air temperature. But the heating coils are radiative. A small oven has wild temperature fluctuations. And when the coils are active they put out a lot more heat than whatever is dailed into the thermostat.

I recently repaired our iMac GPU after it started acting strange. Baked it in a convection oven for 6 minutes at 160° and not a second more. I also used a heavy baking sheet as a heat sink. I did not need a reflow station and if it failed I would have simply ordered a replacement GPU.
I argued for this here just last week. I would definitely add a store from Mozilla for any software they were paid to review and include.

The app store works because Apple has a reputation, and we trust this reputation. Other companies have a good reputation and could trade on this to offer software.

> Society becomes slightly more efficient, since the time I used to spend waiting for the cashier to scan my goods is now spent productively

That was probably true 20 years ago, when your time waiting for the cashier to scan your goods was just idle time for you.

But now we've got smartphones with internet access. We can be productive on our phones while we wait. We can manage investments, research things for work, read email, read news, and so on.

I would not be surprised if doing our own manual labor of scanning and bagging groceries is a net loss of efficiency for society, at least for a large fraction of HN's readership when buying more than just a few items.

I first came across that Lipton citation through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_English_terms_of_... , which quotes "Narrative and learning to teach: implications for teacher-education curriculum" saying:

> Lipton discovered that such collections are quite old, dating from the mid-15th century. These days teacher educators would probably curricularize this material as word-play, perhaps a motivating introduction to poetry. Along these lines, for example, Griffin recently invented 'a brace of orthodontists'. But in the 15th century the educative purpose was much more sober. Such lists were a valuable resource to provide a gentleman with the means of social acceptability and to spare him the embarrassment of some blunder at table---of referring, for example, to a bunch or flock of owls when the proper term is a parliament of owls. In such incidents, 'those who are wiser may have the laugh of you, and we who love you may be shamed', a quote from a novel by Arthur Conan Doyle in which a young man is being schooled in the proper terminology to avoid embarrassment (Lipton 1993: 1).
I imagine that equity would involve complexities the government is not set up to handle. The overhead of maintaining hundreds of equity stakes in startups kind of boggles the mind.

If government wants an equity stake, they’d be better off investing in a fund of VC funds - like what the BC Renaissance fund does in British Columbia. They stuffed $100M (pocket change, I know) into a fund of funds and let the VC manage all of it.

I was at the first FH launch, at the turn-basin viewing area, because a friend of mine works for NASA and got the good, good, good tickets.

I decided to heed the "experience it with your eyes, not through a phone" advice, so the only cameras I set up were fixed on tripods and not guided. I bought a thermal camera some time back, and it dawned on me that I'd never seen civilian thermal video of a launch, so I decided to give it a try:

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/thermal-imagin...

Apparently I wasn't the only one with that idea -- scroll down two more messages in that thread, and the OTHER civilian thermal video of that very same launch, was shot by another reader of the same forum, a few feet away at the same area!

I had another camera facing the crowd, to capture the faces and the oohs and aahs, but the footage sucked. They had speakers set up that pipe in the countdown audio, which is all well and good, but then they made the inane decision to pipe in the sound of SpaceX's own throng cheering, with way too much gain, so it just made the entire audio experience a clipped screaming mess.

I stepped away from the speakers to experience the rocket myself, and I'm glad I did.
In a BBC video from the same domain, https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2017/11/talking-solar-batteries-wit..., it seems like the installation (panels and batteries) is £5.000 and that this a community trial in the Rosehill area in Oxford where the batteries are subsidized.

I think it is valuable to bake in fixed costs and maintenance when these things are discussed. Apart from saving the planet it is nice to see if a project pays itself in 2, 5 or 15 years . . .

In a very real sense, we may never know. The problem of natural language is that it doesn't really work all that well for scientific purpose: talking about chunks and flows comes with a human's lifetime's worth of thinking they know what those words imply, and so we don't use them except in popular science articles. Time could be discrete, or it could be continuous, but while in normal life the difference between those two is easily determined, this is not the case in physics at all: in order to say "which of the two it is" you first need to have an idea where the boundary between the two would have to be.

(even at the macro level, a river that moves a specified number of molecules per time unit doesn't "flow", it's technically moving discrete "chunks" of water, we just don't say it's moving chunks of water because no one cares about the "well, technically..." in normal conversation. We know what's meant and what to ignore. Physics doesn't have that luxury)

We have no idea where that boundary can even be found; it would certainly have to be below the Planck length, but we have nothing that allows for that kind of precision. The only thing physics can say right now, and possible even ever can, is that nothing we have at our disposal allows us to conclude time "actually is" discrete. We can come up with mathematical frameworks that assume time is a discrete dimension, but even if those yield super accurate predictions that are then verified through experiment, all that does is confirm that a continuous dimension can be reduced to a discrete one without loss of precision.
The performance and track record of these engines is even more impressive when you realize that all of the design and modeling work was largely done by hand!

This is perhaps apocryphal, but I briefly worked with a guy who’d worked on the F-1 engine, and he said they’d use surplus WW2 grenades to simulate distortions/aberrations in the combustion chamber.
Ignoring for a second the difficulties in calculating "fair compensation," that would mean that small creators would need HUGE pots to file a DMCA against larger entities (since damages could be fair higher if you're mistaken against big/powerful/etc entities), and conversely it would still be super cheap to take down obscure creators.

In effect this would double down on the existing power imbalance, and allow large entities to continue their abuse practices almost unabated (except against one another).

That is just not true. The mechanism was changed drastically by Lisbon treaty - no more vetos, qualified majority now overrules the rest. Needless to say, 'no' was not accepted as an answer to European Constitution/Lisbon treaty, as reminded by referendums in France, Netherlands and Ireland. This is the true nature of the EU.
