That is an article saying that mesh networking frameworks exist. It does not support the GP claim of smart TVs creating mesh networks across different owners.

Being much closer to the receiver and tied into terrestrial power grids, ground-based beacons can transmit at higher powers than GNSS signals and be received at much higher powers. Received GNSS power is on the order of -130dBm (10e-16 W)

The original you're riffing on is from the Declaration of Independence (a purely rhetorical document), not the Constitution of a decade later.

No knowledge (insider or otherwise) is needed — could just be a bet, hedged against all the other bets a company AMD's size makes.

It's about propping up the yen in foreign exchange terms, so the essential operation is buying yen with dollars to increase the price of the former in a standard microeconomics way. US bonds happen to be the assumed-safe sink where cen

That's the license they sign with you, ie the legal commitment they make and powers they reserve. Policy is the internal, non-binding decision they make about how they exercise those powers, which GP comment accurately described.

The recruiters who make these boneheaded mistakes are typically organizationally separate from the actual engineering group you'd be working in.

Clock bias. Because the clocks internal to GNSS receivers are not that accurate, if they're not at the "targeted" location they'll see that all satellites are off by a given time offset, and think that their clock is j

Yes - delay SYNs until an authenticated reverse lookup confirmed the IP was owned by a trusted domain. With caching to reduce common-case latency, which would otherwise be intolerable.

It was a somewhat flippant (given that GitHub doesn't implement DNSSEC either ) dig at the idea of using hand-entered/hand-updated IP addresses for access control, rather than having the access control system look addresses up in

> You don't exactly need a translation layer. If they just gave me 1.1.1.1:: in v6, anyone migrating v4 to v6 would have the same route to me as before, and other changes like DNS6 could be gradual. Think about this on a concrete, p

IPv4 addresses are in fact a subspace of IPv6 (that's NAT64). They were not by fiat declared invalid. The actual thing I think you're complaining about - the necessity for NAT64 at all - is unavoidable, because you need a NAT&#x2F

The problem has nothing to do with over engineering, or really anything to do with the actual contents of the IPv6 standard. It is just devilishly hard to make any backwards-incompatible change to layer 3, and address expansion is always

Assuming you're both referring to the events of 19 March, they did not eject from the F-35. I know of no event during this war where an F-35 crew ejected.

EU countries spend about 2% of GDP on their militaries. It's not at the high US levels, but it's closer to Iran's number than it is to zero.

Commander-In-Chief is not a career military post, it is an elected politician. Your barefaced assertion that he would have professional-level knowledge is resting on one an array of assumptions - that he has an interest in the details, that

About 4% of the federal budget and 6% of discretionary spending at its peak, not of GDP. Still a very high number, but nowhere near the military-budget-levels you're talking about.

The Nigerian type scams typically prey on greed; time pressure isn't part of the draw. There's another class of scams where the draw is fear - "your son is in jail", "your bank account is under investigation and wil

It gives preferential treatment to Jews regardless of their religious practice or lack thereof. Its self-definition as a "Jewish state" is deliberately vague about its definition of "Jewish", and is in practice closer to

The tweet and article say the timing comes with symbolism, not that the symbolism was the reason for the timing. Correlation is not causation, and the article does not even claim causation.

Not entirely accurate: 1. Many Israeli Jewish Zionists are either "traditional" (religious but not that much) or Religious Zionist, and they are generally part of the right wing coalition. Actual atheists tend to be in the Israeli
