IEEE attempted to fix reliability, range and latency issues in WiFi 6 and 6E. Unfortunately, since the 802.11 spec's conception in the late 90s, the push has been to get throughput numbers (meaning, the marketing number for more sales for vendors) up. I believe WiFi 7 is something like 11 Gbps max theoretical throughput which is a solution in search of a problem. Absolutely nobody needs 11 Gbps, but everyone needs reliability.
They ultimately are, if we manage to get launch costs down. Starship is a second crack at trying to do what Shuttle failed to do with affordable space access (for both humans and payloads).
You know I didn't think about this at all. But the flight manual mentions multiple power systems in the aircraft and one of them is of course 400 Hz.

I wonder if when these recordings were made someone was actually powering up the whole aircraft by running an external APU of some kind?
As far as I'm aware, it was driven by the "piggybacking" of ACKs on packets travelling in the opposite direction, which turns out to have been a slight misfeature.

I was pretty bought into the Alexa ecosystem, however I started selling devices with a screen, and never connected my wired smart-home to it.
It’s pretty stupid that I can’t easily watch YouTube on it. Also it’s becoming really annoying with talking a lot more instead of just doing what I asked for. With moves towards LLM integration I fear we will soon get dialogues like „switch on the light“ - „I’m sorry, Dave - I can’t do that“.
Just want to point out that $1000 is nothing to a lot of potential bad actors. $1 million is nothing.

It was pretty evil of the Asian-looking guy shouting "DON'T TOUCH HER" "You're not of the same age".

He was threatened and only escalated to be a dick about it after they were a dick to him. He is also quite well within his rights, trying to intimidate him to stop doing it is pretty fucking evil as well.

Have we watched the same video?
Testing with a WiFi 5 client device (iPhone SE 1st gen), I'm seeing only 240Mbps down and 122Mbps up, which is far closer to what I would expect from WiFi 5.

I don't know how a WiFi 6 client (like your phone) might work around the limitations of a WiFi 5 access point, but I'm not seeing anywhere near 500Mbps out of WiFi 5 from a normal client device.

NASA seems to have a long standing tradition of sweeping problems under the rug. No skylab mutiny, no depressed payload specialists, all fine here gentleman, nothing to see here.

I always wondered why this is written that way. To protect the organisation? But the human part of us all is part of that organization, to disacknowledge that is literally inhumane. Because they are funded by taxpayer dollars and should screen better? Companies get funded by tax-payer bailouts and government projects all the time, waste them on not carefully selected conmen all the time.

So why is it not okay to write about this?
Is this a remnant of the "epic hero" with a rocket from the early scifi days?
>The message, sent before Mr Verma departed Gatwick airport, read: "On my way to blow up the plane (I'm a member of the Taliban)."

>Mr Verma's message was picked up by the UK security services who flagged it to Spanish authorities while the easyJet plane was still in the air.

>A court in Madrid heard it was assumed the message triggered alarm bells after being picked up via Gatwick's Wi-Fi network.

I don't see what this has to do with Gatwick's wifi - presumably one of these agencies have their hooks in Snapchat somewhere, PRISM-style.

So stop building cloud-only device interaction then... Home Assistant users will take a LAN API over a cloud API any day.

A LAN API should satisfy everyone really, no unnecessarily large bills for the manufacturer, and Home Assistant users can get better/faster integrations with shorter update intervals.
I certainly wouldn't trust it to not say some seriously embarrassing stuff as people mess with the prompts.
I think that's part of the problem. It seems like the only way to have a good nix experience is to go all in with NixOS. The problem is that is a huge sell for someone who already has an OS they like and the fact that testing out nix standalone is such a pain means you end up with very little confidence in the prospect of migrating everything over. Plus, at least when I considered NixOS a few years ago, the setup instructions seemed not well ironed out and made me really hesitant that it wouldn't brick my system.

All in all I think nix falls into the category of great idea in theory, but the implementation is so lacking in ergonomics and ease of use that I don't see how it could be anything other than a niche build system without major UX updates.
I think the question is meant to mean "Should my company open the source of its software?"

But for me, answering the question as asked provides the path to answering the question as reworded. To me, the question as asked is about the nature of the software the company uses, not sells.

I personally will always choose an open source product over the alternative, even if I happily pay for support or just donate to support the project. Unfettered access to the source is fundamental to me, even for software I never intend to alter.

I know this seems to many like an extremist position. But I don't like the idea that I am not allowed to tear down my microwave or doorknob or transmission. I might never be able to put them back together in working order. Or I might be able to find a gear with a missing tooth and execute a $2 repair instead of a $90 replacement. Or I might invent a new frakenstein microwave with a tranmission.

Extending the featureset of a web server or understanding why my plugin is crashing the host app, etc. are important to me. I think they are important to society. So I hold on to my open source extremism. If you show me the hottest new tiny web server that can do HTTPS/4 with built-in AI in just 5Kb, I will be intrigued, but if it isn't open source, I'll stick with my current stack.

With this mindset, the software I produce is open source. And sometimes people pay me for it.
The reason was this:

"When I turned on my own instrument, it didn't work," Wang said. "You can imagine my panic. I had spent five years preparing for this one experiment. Not only that, I was the first person of Chinese descent to fly on the Shuttle, and the Chinese community had taken a great deal of interest. You have to understand the Asian culture. You don't just represent yourself; you represent your family. The first thing you learn as a kid is to bring no shame to the family. So when I realized that my experiment had failed, I could imagine my father telling me, 'What's the matter with you? Can't you even do an experiment right?' I was really in a very desperate situation"

Which made him think out loud of opening the intentional easy to open hatch. (because of Apllo 1 with 3 burned and trapped astronauts who could not open their door)

So what happened was a lot of distress while on this flight and from now on there was a lock installed. Which means that in a real emergency, astronauts maybe could then not open the door in time. All because social pressure brought someone close to the point of violently breaking.

(and because NASA did not do proper testing for the specialists, like they did for the professional Astronauts)
I agree and I paid a premium on my housing so I could have that yard. Technically, I am within the city (about 500 m from the city limits up against a more rural city. I completely understand the need to build more housing in a denser configuration. Where I live is in an old mill city, and they keep trying to revitalize downtown, but it never seems to take. I think they need to, as we geeks say, scrub and reinstall.

It doesn't matter to me if they build housing as long as it doesn't block my view of the sky and it doesn't add to light pollution.

A lot of the older housing is shit-quality tenements. To give one example of the crappy environment, there was a music festival in downtown, I walked from home (about 3 miles) because I didn't want to add to the parking chaos. I had to walk through a rundown section of town and saw a couple of families with their kids in the yard. The yard was all asphalt. Not a hint of green or dirt.

If we are going to build denser housing with social housing, we have to have green places where kids can play. I am a big fan of rewilding with few trees; that should be the kind of place kids have to play. With dirt to dig into, flowers they can smell, have room to plant a basic garden. let no kid be left inside.

we may not be able to give them a 10,000-square-foot yard, but we can make green commons, and part of their education would be understanding their responsibility to themselves and to others in how to take care of a common space.

As for knocking down my house, well, some "should-ers" have told me that I should do just that. Knock down my house (1930s era) building, put in the 4 to 6 apartments that could fit on the lot, and take a loss on the building to make it affordable.

Yeah but isn't threads basically dead now?

I think the core issue is that despite how stupid and shitty it's become and seems intent on continuing to become, Twitter is still Twitter and Twitter users don't want BlueSky or Threads, they want Twitter which is still Twitter despite Elon and co's best efforts.

Also the ability for users to fact-check ads is still hilarious and entertaining which almost offsets the amount of ads.

> The question, then, is to what extent limitation is healthy?

Our minds filter reality for survival. But, we over-use our minds. Too much stuff in the cache, and not enough stuff going to dev/null/. Living in the technological society we do today requires more and more attention on various things.

If you just turn off your mind for a while and stop overclocking, this isn't such a huge issue. Easier said than done. I try to meditate, and I feel it helps, but it's difficult.
> it's not that difficult to migrate between them.

If you've never used the fediverse before, you don't really know that, do you? I've heard of the "move your account" functionality before, but I don't really think until today I had anyone say to me, "Look, don't worry too much about which server you choose to start out with -- just pick one, because it's super-easy to switch later if you want to try a different one."

> What could federated services do that would make the obvious choice not feel lame?

I admit this is an inconsistency on my part, and probably only limited to people a lot like me: on the one hand, the whole promise of federation is that you can avoid massive centralization; so joining the One Biggest Instance seems kind of pointless. On the other hand, I don't want to join a random small instance which may not be well-maintained; and I don't want to join an instance which is going to pigeon-hole me ("A mastodon instance for developers!" "A mastodon instance for Christians!").

There are different parts of my brain that all want different things, each of which vetoes any particular decision. But this is very much what the "paradox of choice" is about: in many cases, having more options makes you less happy.

I do think it was good that Mastodon embraced this in a way that earlier federated options didn't (e.g., I believe at some point diaspora stopped new sign-ups to their main instance to "encourage federation"; from my perspecitve it encouraged was people to go elsewhere.)

So "what could federated services do better" to solve the paradox of choice? Nothing as far as I can tell -- if you want more choice, you're going to have the paradox of choice; Mastodon at least has already done the only thing I can think of which mitigates it somewhat.

Does anyone prefer the digital gauges to real ones? I’m rabidly allergic to the screen-based car controls, and I feel like I see a lot of that in the comments here and in conversation with friends and relatives.

Where is the pro-digital-control constituency hiding out? Surely the manufacturers wouldn’t be going so hard this way if market research bore out quite that degree of resistance.

There is a whole genre on youtube of people who go out and bother people in public with cameras "because it's their right". Check out "Amagansett Press". Fine, people have their rights.

That said, In film school, we were taught that we can film anyone in public and that's our right, and also taught that if you film someone in public and they come up and tell you it's a problem, it's polite to not publish their likeness/delete the image. I always did do, but quite a few kids in class couldn't care less.

> The only viable solution is an independent safety board (paid for out of Boeing profits) that supervises every aspect of design and production at Boeing and its contractors until Boeing learns how to build safe airplanes again.

At this point I’d go further than that. Their ability to manufacture and sell aircraft should be at stake. This needs to be an existential threat for Boeing to take it seriously.
This will have zero effect. First of all, this is a blip that will eventually disappear from your average passenger’s radar before the summer travel period unless Boeing is unable to satisfy FAA’s requirements in the coming months. Secondly, I believe people are mostly concerned with pricing and availability, not the aircraft type.

But there is an exception to the law that would probably apply in this case:

You can't restrict the right of publishing the video is it is in the context of a demonstration, a "manifestation" (that means more an event in French), or that it is news worthy or of public interest.

As the Chinese were there demonstrating to support the Chinese CCP propaganda or something or that sort, anyone could have recorded them directly in isolation I think.

They were waving CCP flags, so making that sounds like some kind of race blindness is a bit wild.

If competing with git doesn't work out for you... let me tell you what the world needs... We need to bring freedom and liberation to the .docx nation. Microsoft has held that document format hostage for way too long. They keep changing that file format in order to keep competitors at bay. It is the most grotesque mote in existence in modern times. we need a document creation with versioning baked in but that abstracts those aspects and presents an intuitive way to switch from creation to publication/print. Most lawyers/docx-creators deal with at most 20 or so styles/formats. For anything else, there's publisher or adobe. So as you develop this project, if the uphill battle becomes too unbearable, consider creating a better document platform with versioning baked in.
TBH, because they track it.

They would have some good reasoning, because they don't make a fuss about exchanging equivalent planes, but if it's happening all the time, the planes must not be equivalent. But the actual reason is that somebody is always looking, and that somebody would get wary.
That would make for an awesome password reminder!

Wow, tons of classic hacker news feedback just like the "dropbox won't work" one [0]. And we know how that ended up.

With the trend towards more and more non-devs writing code with the help of AI [1], I think you're absolutely correct with your assertion that something safer and easier than git is needed. The rest of the business case makes perfect sense too (git struggling with binaries and large files, massive code bases at Meta/Google have required alternate tools).

Love the open source strategy as well. Github showed pretty clearly that selling services over an open core can be a winner.

Indeed integrity isn't. You're misrepresentating my comment. Perhaps privilege is too much of a trigger word these days.

Depending on ones economic situation, not playing the political game could mean being on the street, losing your kids, etc. In that sense, it can be a privilege offered to those with the financial freedom. This doesn't mean in any way that you can't do it with integrity.

> doesn't destroy the reflog or runs the GC server-side.

Git doesn't give you access to the server side reflog either. So it's of not much use if you don't control the server.

As for losing data with Git, the easiest way to accomplish that is with data that hasn't been committed yet, a simple `git checkout` or `git reset --hard` can wipe out all your changes and even reflog won't keep record of that.
