And watch out for those sand worms!

The conspiracy theorists who think we never went to the moon are mostly unaware of the retroreflectors we left behind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Laser_Ranging_experiment

I think you underestimate the creativity of conspiracy theorists to explain away any contradicting fact :)

BladeRF is pretty cool. It doesn't have quite the frequency range of HackRF, but it's full duplex, and uses 12-bit ADC/DAC (vs. HackRF's 8-bit ones). Also it uses USB 3 so the bandwidth is not limited to 20MHz. (I think it's around 40MHz.)

Anyone know the story behind why baudline hasn't been updated in seven years? The site has promised a beta version with some highly desirable features for a LONG time, but nothing. Also, since it's closed source, there's nothing we can do but hope and wait (unless someone were to start an open source equivalent project).

The estimate for my house dropped by 25% in one month when the market was still rising. I'm assuming that the cause was the house next door which was in poor condition and was sold for about 20% below market value. The buyer put $100k into the house and is now selling it above market value ($200k more). It will be interesting to see what the zestimate for my house will be when the other house sells again. (It will probably sell within a month.)

Is it just a coincidence that Musk's main competitor in the space business is called "The Boeing Company"? I don't think so.

The Boring Company isn't a jab at Boeing, it's a generic name for a company that bores holes in the ground... Ya know.. Tunnels?

The article makes no mention of single event upsets (SEUs). These occur randomly when cosmic rays can cause a bit flip anywhere in the chip. ECC is a good way to mitigate SEU effects.

Sorry for nitpicking, but it's not the cosmic rays, it's the cosmic rays secondaries cascade shower (produced high up in the atmosphere when a cosmic ray interacts with a particle there).

I think the author never read Frank Herbert's book, but only saw the movie. Most people who hate the movie have never read the book.

The writer just finished a reread of the first book. The link to the series of articles is literally right at the top of the page above the title. And there were a number of fans of the books who hated the movie when it came out in 1984. It's an interesting take, or we wouldn't be talking about it still, but kind of divisive and not a great adaptation of the novel IMO.

I always hate to see "losses" claimed on money not collected. The copyright lobby plays the same game. There were no "losses", there was money owed that was not collected.

This seems like the sort of crime that the CFAA was intended for. He was a trusted insider for 14 years, and then this. Also, he obviously wasn't very competent if he didn't consider that the MAC address of the laptop would be logged and traceable to him.
