If you have an Android phone (even if just an old one you don't use anymore, or a cheap one you're willing to buy) and you're willing to root it and wipe all data on it, you can: 1. Unlock the bootloader (if not already…
The cited "40% of college age women report being choked during sex" article is an NYT opinion piece where some of the respondents actually say they _wanted_ to be choked during sex, but the author of the opinion piece…
Note they said Lufthansa freight fleet, which is why it's only 11 planes. Lufthansa (the passenger airline) is indeed still a very large airline.
This is pedantism, and is also just wrong. "if you have the right key" IS authentication. Encryption keys are used as a form as authentication all the time, it's one of the main use cases of public/private key…
I'm not going to claim that it's much better these days, but it's worth noting that the launch center in the link is quite old. The launch center have had multiple upgrades since then; the link here [0] shows some…
Yes, that video looks to be the "REACT" [0] upgrade that was done in the 1990s. It specifically says it changed it to make the operators sit side-by-side. 0:…
His spiel starting at 14 minutes in about how seemingly every tech product these days is a partially-baked, unfinished, barely even usable, yet full-priced product with a vague promise of "it'll receive updates and be…
The article directly says the opposite, and reinforces what GP comment was saying about the union not being helpful: > Although Dugan, Shaffer, and other members say their union stewards on site helped press their…
I've literally never heard "socked by a hurricane" despite living in an area where hurricanes hit the coast every year. I just did a google search for "socked by a hurricane" and there were a mere 8 results. Seems like…
I think my original comment about "flagship" was worded poorly, and has led this thread down a path I didn't intend. I know what "flagship" means, and I did correctly assume that the article was trying to convey…
Yes I'm aware that "flagship" indicates importance, but I stand by my comment that the article does a poor job of explaining it. It only says "flagship" in the title, and also the title is the only place where it really…
FWIW I agree with you. The title hardly makes sense to me as well. "Ford's Battery Flagship" - even after reading the article I'm still not sure what this is. "flagship" is used only in the title and nowhere else. Based…
> security needs to be the easiest path. If it is not, then that is the fault of the Security folks; not the end user. There's truth to what you say, but you're blaming the wrong crowd. Security people are rarely (if…
S3 buckets have never been public by default. They were, however, very easy to make public before things like Block Public Access existed, so lazy devs would just click that button rather than doing proper access…
>so you’re not gaining anything and losing some functionality by doing this instead of running an API GW You're gaining the fact that Function URLs are free while APIGW can be pretty costly, as well as the fact that…
My understanding is that cold starts on containerized Lambdas is actually better than non-containerized for some workloads, because using containers allows Lambda to do better caching of the code, as well as…
You're correct, it is 2 MB/s. The actual bandwidth from the AWS Lambda docs is: >Uncapped for the first 6 MB of your function's response. For responses larger than 6 MB, 2MBps for the remainder of the response Some of…
Clouds (like, the big fluffy things in the sky) are made up of many droplets of liquid. Using "droplet" to refer to the things that make up cloud computing is a pretty natural nickname for any cloud provider, not just…
There's a lot of advertising activity that ublock doesn't catch, but Pi-Hole does. Usually it's tracking APIs rather than ads themselves. It's also useful for clients where I can't install client-side adblocking, ie…
But what if all three go offline for any random reason? Are you planning to add a fourth?
> Can this be engineered with a reversible option to switch it from functional to non-functional, depending on the seat configuration? That's exactly how it's engineered right now, though. This same design has been used…
Aircraft are often sold between airlines, or reconfigured even with the same airline. If United ever wants to reconfigure their 737s to be higher density (which is pretty common), they might need to start using that…
I think HN really overestimates the impact of events like this with the general public. The very first A320 demonstration flight crashed, killing 3 people, allegedly due to software issues in the new fly-by-wire system,…
The pictures clearly show that the seat is still there. It also wasn't a window... that's a plug for an unused emergency exit location. Planes have spots in the fuselage where emergency exits can be placed if the…
I'm fascinated by this thread for many reasons, but something interesting (or baffling to me?) that I don't see mentioned yet is the marketing or target audience for this thing. The tagline is "Create without limits".…
