pricechild

I'm amazed... "and usable" implies some of these kits will go down if you lose your internet connection. Not just that they won't be configurable?

On the technology side... Gett.com seem to be offering an identical solution to Uber with the bonus of fixed price service within certain bounds. Looking at trips within a few miles of the city centre it'll offer a fixed price or "by the meter". Anything too far out however and it'll offer only "by the meter". Still, worth a punt?

EDIT: Bit more of a review...

I've contacted their support in the past and it's been pants. A couple of weeks for a human reply.

I also don't like how you have to decide the tip before the trip ends. Once you're dropped off, 'bing' the money is gone. I guess this is a culture difference but I prefer to decide to tip once I've decided I'm happy with the service. it's not a given.

Something even closer to what you're asking for... in github hit the 'history' button on a file (next to blame) and you'll get the commits which affected it. Hit the 7 character commit-id and you'll be taken to the diff of that change, jumped specifically to the file in question.

In the UK the professors are lucky to have a permanent contract, nevermind sweet raises!!

I don't think the author was seriously suggesting you use butterflies or a steady hand either.

I can't get over how differently results seem to be reported in the US.

As of right now, reports I read suggest she's barely 100,000 votes ahead on that measure with "44 electoral votes still available".

i.e. there's a huge number of votes uncounted and that "fact" could easily turn out to be a poor prediction/

Why are news reports/speculation/predictions taken as fact without waiting for results to be announced?

If replacements won't be needed for 2 years I figure most people will expect it to have broken and been taken off the market by then...

The fact that Windows10 breaks it surely suggests it's a software feature?

> Auto-GCAS continuously compares a prediction of the aircraft’s trajectory against a terrain profile generated from onboard terrain elevation data.

I should've put "VHF/UHF" in the original comment as the formula is reasonable for both. They're both Line of Sight and that's really what the approximation is about.

You then get people who operate lists of all relays e.g. https://www.dan.me.uk/tornodes

There's probably a good reason for using a "full" list, but I can't think of one off the top of my head. That site at least offers both and just about explains the difference.

So 25000ft gives a range of ~190 miles, 40000ft gives ~240 miles.

Various organisations will deny their services to you just for running a relay, despite the fact that no proxied traffic will exit your network and connect to them. I hope that it is incompetence, it's often unsurprisingly difficult to contact anyone who's able to deal with the issue.

Amazon Video is a high profile example.

I'm not sure who Amazon Video uses, but they also block relays, not just exit nodes.

From section 3, my understanding is that if you distribute then you must do one of the following: a) include complete source code b) include an offer of source code if contacted c) include the offer of source code you originally received

(It's a bit more complicated than that... but close enough)

So... if they're distributing the kernel as part of a drone they're selling, these clauses would apply?

I'm not sure why "changes" they may or may not have made would have anything to do with it?

Is that inaccurate?

Maybe best to try and find the original paper to clarify that one.

EDIT: http://bast.opus.hbz-nrw.de/volltexte/2013/692/pdf/41_Than.p... looks relevant, but I can't see the claims repeated in e.g. the Mirror article.

I think there's a general consensus that people aren't against advertising in principle, it's the tracking, the intrusiveness etc. that the game has turned into.

I feel it's perfectly fair for an organisation working towards this ideal to take money in somehow in order to pay for it.
