406 PLB's - monitored by satellite - Garmin InReach Explorer+ looks alright and doesn't need a special factory battery replacement. 121.5 ELTs - requiring sar aircraft proximity - are obsolete.

That's how my apt door smart lock works. There's no keyway to pick or bump. It's a momentary clutch operated electrically that grabs the bolt mechanism. If you want to force your way in, better bring a big ass drill. The Augu

It's not magic. Most reputable locksmiths possess roughly these skills to nondestructively open locks for customers. Heck, with the $15k programmer setup, I can make you an infinite number of Mercedes key fob copies too.

That's a chicken-little argument of false equivocation. There is often to always a level of security sufficient to make forced entry too costly.

37/80 + 14KS. It's a tight fit, heavy, and expensive but they work.

A friend of mine got his $5k bike stolen in the middle of downtown Mountain View in plain sight. If you don't use something like an ABUS 37/80 + 14KS, your shit is going to get jacked in Oakland because of zillions of thieves with

Good luck, naïve foreigner: I don't think you realize or appreciate how violent and unsafe most of Oakland is. You're likely to be robbed at gun- or knife-point by multiple assailants. At least in some other states you're all

Those who can't tend to hurl negativity and sabotage at those who do. Or people who are too dumb or lazy to try language X or approach Y (minus fads) tend to reiterate how wonderful their stale way and obsolescence are. There are peopl

When consultants suggest a "new" fad, they're all about charging money to help businesses adopt that fad to avoid FOMO. Predictably, there will be a new fad next year and the year after that. Waterfall: elevator control syste

We've know about P-waves for at least 60+ years. The "early warning" ability is dependent on the speed of light exceeding the propagation delay of physical motion. In case anyone were unclear, there is no magic rock whisperin

If one wanted a fast GC, they could begin with code generation or implementing a VM to work with something like ORCA. It has more powerful sharing and exclusivity semantics than Rust. Pony being the example language implementation. In bench

Darn! Other than magical beliefs in lottery winnings, how else would one acquire the lion's share of the world's liquid capital? I can only think of the brutal triumphalism of differential equation-like scenarios enabling a power-

Well, LISP too. Define, compose, and apply. Barely above a common language of math and mirroring many languages' parsed AST of equivalent constructs. People enjoy using simple things in a "worse is better"/paradox of cho
