Building attestation into hardware sounds like a good idea in theory, but doesn't actually work. All it tells you is "this is what the camera saw", it doesn't actually tell you that what the camera saw was real. You can

I don’t have the numbers, but at least for Iridium the data service is basically an afterthought. They allocated so much of their bandwidth to voice (using older insufficient voice codecs no less) and are now essentially locked in to a subo

This product is targeted at actual users of "IoT", think remote monitoring in remote locations. Not "smart microwave" style IoT. Not sure there is any automatic solution for compression here. If you know your own use cas

For use cases of this product you will be packing much tighter than this. You get terminal identification from the carrier, no need to waste precious packet space on identifiers. And it's probably also a waste to encode field names int

Your hardware can record many datapoints, and bundle them up together into one packet for transmission in one big bundle. If you are reading a float off a sensor, you can get nearly 1 data point per minute, transmitted hourly, with a very n

I don't have numbers in front of me but it looks waaay cheaper. Seems they are trying to undercut Iridium SBD on price.

Honestly Haskell's tooling is really surprisingly good these days. It works fine cross platform, there is a single "blessed" path without too many options to spend time agonizing over. Today the Haskell example is just `cabal

C arrays are just sugar for pointer arithmetic. [] just calculates the sum and deferences the result. arr[n] == *(arr + n) == n[arr] All these forms are valid C and gcc will happily compile them all without complaining.

But during that time period people (wisely) saw that currency controls were still on the table in the future, and acted as such. The fact that they the controls are expected to return has a chilling effect. When you remove currency controls

If you bought them before October 2020, they qualify for the recall program and should be replaced for free. If you complain loudly enough maybe they will replace them for free anyway even if not covered (did so for mine).

I'm not asserting that it's guaranteed to be true. But the evidence that exists is not sufficient to draw a certain conclusion either way. If the market were a superspreader event or indeed the true origin, the facts before us tod

Judging a headphone by specific codec support just doesn't make sense. Support for acoustically transparent codecs is good enough. Nobody has every demonstrated an ability to reliably distinguish high bitrate mp3 or AAC from lossless.

It's not firmware - the issue develops very gradually rather than all at once. This is part of what makes it such an insidious fault, like the boiling frog analogy.

This is only evidence of Daszak/EcoHealth being unethical. I doubt he has access to a secret "smoking gun" conclusively proving lab leak vs zoonotic. If there is a chance you are responsible, why not cover it up and muddy the

Daszak acted unethically regardless of the actual truth of the lab leak hypothesis. His actions were a self serving attempt to muddy the waters on investigation of the virus origin, and may have prevented conclusive proof one way or the oth
