Tetra is the "mobile phone" that our emergency services (well, police and firefighters atleast, not sure about ambulances) use. It offers "normal" calls and messages, ut it also offers push-to-talk, and group talks (need

Nah, usually it works, just the calls don't get through. Even after the Boston bombing, the people there couldnt get/take calls, because the network was flooded with other people calling. Mobile networks survive most of the &quo

5G works perfectly fine on same long distances as 2G/3G/4G did. But it adds a dedicated frequency range for emergency services, so when shit hits the fan, and everybody is calling everybody, the emergency workers can still communi

Nah... it's just that we've got flashy new devices to communicate with, and "noone" cares about the old ones. The same thing is happening to every other tech, from IRC to SMS.

Neither does hackernews* (the threads are readable by the public). *yes, yes, https, username, passwords... i know.. but you write a block of text, post it, and it's shown here... no encryption needed for that.

We might be laughing now, but this kind of things bring us new laws, limitations and regulations. Drones are a great tool, even in the hands of a total amateur. Some regulation is needed (eg. not flying over crowds of people), but otherwise

Honestly, knowing how much taxes you pay is important (and as i said in a comment above, problematic, if people don't know). But this can be solved by autofiling taxes, and then sending a yearly report: you earned X, paid Y taxes, out

Problem here is, if person #1 can do something, and gets away with it, then person #2 does that, and gets away with it, many more people will do the same. Spending more on the crimes with negative ROI, makes the total ROI higher because it

There should be only once choice, either you're a platform or a publisher. A platform should be open, and only illegal stuff should be removed. No preferences, no nothing. A publisher can be closed, can be whatever they want it, can fi

This! You can put a mmwave basestation in a factory (a couple of cells near the ceiling) and controll everything (machines, "robots", transporters, forklifts, inventory,...) via LTE.

I do not have any real numbers, and this is just anecdotal, but in Slovenia (small EU country), a lot of our larger retailers have replaced some posters (basically ads) in their stores with "workers needed" posters, and some have

But what if they don't want to? Or are unable to (too stupid, not too poor)? Why work a 9-5 job, when you can spread your legs every now and then get Louboutin shoes for a present, and a (real) Louis Vuitton handbag, and so on. And the

When you reach a certain level of education and class, those "gold digger girlfriends" become "a wife", that others call "a trophy wife". I think MIT had many of those there.

Why do universities have to do anything? Report it to the police, and they should deal with it and use the proper procedures. After that it's the courts. Having some kangaroo courts and then losing lawsuits never helped anyone.
