Betteridge says no. It is unpossible to install a mesh WiFi network in a barn. At all. In your house sure, but not the barn. It will burn down if you try, so don't.
Funny, but I have to counter with my favorite Dilbert quote - PHB - "It's wireless. How hard could it be to not install wires?"
This type of system is already available by more than onecompany. Both offer global coverage and real-time tracking using GPS and the Iridium satellites, so the part about "Aireon said 70 percent of the world's airspace lacks satellite tracking or airline surveillance coverage" isn't true.
To take advantage of planes flying closer, airports will probably need to expand significantly. Busy airports have planes landing about a minute apart now.
This isn't about advancing computer science. This is them abandoning open source sotware. They're pulling old Microsoft. Embrace, Make slight variations so it only runs on your Linux/java platform, and then destroy.
It's open source. The summary even says 'all of the information thus far has come as a result of people digging into the source code'.
After its all said and done. AT&T gets hit with a slap on the wrist fine. Fine em $12, that'll teach em not to do it again.
And even if it's 12 Million, AT&T at the end of the year will review its finances and say "We didn't make as much profit this year! Looks like we need to raise our rates to compensate."
And a lot of people - including the FBI guy there - seems to think that his agency is a bunch of saints and always has been and always will.
They should go and read some biographies not written by FBI people about J. Edgar Hoover.
Yeah, I've watched the X-Files. I know the FBI is full of jerks and evil dicks (I was going to say 'genuises', but let's face it, most are far from it).
Yes but if you had more than one control, and one stopped working, wouldn't your first thought be to try the other one?
I can't accept everybody just ran about waving their hands in the air shouting "we've lost steering control".
I agree it is reasonable to expect an indicator of which device is active, and preferably each inactive device should have an indicator to show which one was in use, couldn't take more than a few Arduino's and some LEDs. heh.
Good points. Even better would be a button 'take control here'.
Either way the system is too complex. They are confused while just sailing along. Can you imagine if there was a war on, and they were getting shot at or something!
Yeah, I think Douglas Adams had it right: "It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
TL;DR? The basic idea behind a simulated annealing algorithm is that it searches for successively better solutions, but occasionally accepts a "worse" one, so as to reduce the possibility of getting stuck in a local minimum when there is a better minimum nearby (sort of like jumping out of a caldera at the top of a mountain, so that you can reach a a better minimum closer to ground level.) As time goes on, the probability of accepting a worse solution is reduced, according to an "annealing schedule" until finally only better solutions are accepted.
Not being an expert on either, this sounds a little like fuzzy logic. Am I completely off base?
I'd like to know what evidence there is to support this, rather than words on a page ranting about perception. Not that I don't agree caution, it's one thing to make big noise and proclaim persecution when none exists. Show the evidence and remove doubt about Microsoft's intention.
I've never understood this part of it all, the credit card holder doesn't have to pay, the retailer often keeps the money, so it's a loss for the credit card company, but they never seem to concerned by the losses they take, or at least I never see anyone going into it on the internet or news.
We all pay through the interest rates on the cards.

Android already has it's own built in equivalent. I've used it a couple of times, and it seems to work as well as Shazam
I went to Austria during the winter almost 10 years ago. I don't know how the kangaroos can handle that cold year after year

Trump credited himself for the lack of U.S. aviation fatalities during his administration, so this one is on him.
Just once in a while I'm reminded why I keep reading /. Well done!
but I aint ever seen any advertisements for it
The first article explains this: "Most of this marketing money is directed at the physicians who do the prescribing, rather than consumers".

Naw! They're probably using Telsa Autopilot software, so it can't see stationary objects!

I guess Musk will have to wait to move to Mars until 2028
NO reason headquarters can't be on Mars. Maybe he'll be the first to use the based on Mars tax avoidance loophole!

Bitcoin Conference Stops Accepting BTC Due To High Fees
Wait! Is this actually ironic?

Yeah, Simplicity is better
and there is an entire website dedicated to people saying stupid things...i think it is called youtube.
I think you misspelled Slashdot!
Millennium Partners, insists the building is safe for occupancy and could withstand an earthquake.
fine prints: "As long as the earthquake tilts it straight and doesn't make it tilt more in the northwest direction"
Also, building units will automatically convert to underground bunkers in the case of earthquake, making it even safer!
why not err on the side of caution though and try to make changes? because it's inconvenient?
What if we build a better world fro nothing?
Both candidates are corrupt scum.
Yeah, I think Douglas Adams had it right: "It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
"50 percent of Note 7 owners likely to switch to iPhone"... ... hoe likely? like 50% chances?
*sigh*
There's a 50/50 chance, though there's only a 10 percent chance of that.

I knew coming down from the trees was a bad idea.
Never should have crawled out of the ocean!
see what the Union free work place get's you!
Actually, according to this, 90% of China's workers are in a union. The US for comparison is at 12%.

There's none, and in fact Microsoft plans on releasing games on Steam

Seriously.
I don't believe you said that!
