> This leaves the question: why does work start so early? If children benefit from sleeping longer, so should adults. If you work 7-15h (3pm american), you still have some daylight time left at home, after work so you…
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…
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…
> Perhaps other than tracking concerns, I'm totally not convinced with the reasoning. Tracking is not an issue, if you keep your phone in airplane mode (wifi and bluetooth can be enabled on most phones, but mobile…
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…
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.
What about communicating during a disaster? ..as in the article?

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…
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,…
> is that if paying taxes gets too easy the average American will be less likely to push their representatives to lower taxes or to oppose new taxes that get proposed. This is problematic here (small EU country). People…
Googles algorithms should penalize them hard for that... but they probably wont. Random users clicking a reddit link in search results, and coming back after two seconds and clicking on another result, should bring…
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…
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…
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.
And mobile phones have existed for 40 years, gsm for almost 30. Considering the most radiation is outputed during the phone conversations, and most people hold their phone always on the same side of the head…
I agree with this. A 'happy ending massage' worker "has to" give a 'happy ending' to a customer, and a vet "has to" shove his hand elbow deep up a cows orifice. Somehow we treat the first ones as victims/immorals and…

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…
They do that with cigarettes but kids still get them (atleast in my country). Banning a device is useless, beceause the same vaporizer could be used to other stuff, and it'd be still sold online (from places like…
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,…
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.
Vaping is great! Take someone who smokes two packs a day, give him a niccotine vape, and he gets all the 'high' he needs to fuel his addiciton, with (by some sources) only 10% of the "bad things" going in his lungs…
