If a post originates from a foreign IP, it does not mean yet that it was not written by an American.
I am acquainted with some post-soviet functioneers. They are not capable to generate content which is read and liked by millions of US citizens. They just do not know the US realities to such degree, not even close.
I have no doubt that it is either the diaspora or activists inside the country are using proxies located in remote parts, for obvious reasons.
it were allowed to deliver parcels from helipads on building roofs.
A lot of traffic in cities, up to 50%, is delivering small parcels, often just papers, between business. And we are breathing all that toxic fossil fuel exhaust from traffic jams.
All that anti-drone neo-luddism is not coming free.
Speaking of Snowden, - is the bitter truth really better than a sweet lie? Certainly we have got a glimpse at how it actually works, but at what price?
The omni-powerful US deep state is still reeling, angered, and agitated. International relations are in the gutter, animosity is flourishing.
What I do not get is that as far as I know in accordance with the regulations of the Russian Federation a refugee cannot continue a political activity. But in case of Edward I only hear - Snowden said this, Snowden wrote that. It is not that I am against it. I am just curious about this man who for better or worse, single handedly changed the history.
Raspberry PI 3 is far from a toy. The main thing is to install the Raspbian Lite without GUI desktop. Most of the computing "power" is spent on handling of the HD, 4K, 8K, etc. display.
I installed Apache 2, PHP 7, SSH, SFTP on one RPI3 and MySQL database on another. This system is incredibly stable and quite fast. I think of moving to self-hosting with this setup. It practically does not consume any electricity.
I realize now that it does not requite too much computing power to send HTML files and even JPGs to a network.
Raspberry PI 3 is a good hardware for learning server administration. I plan to move from MySQL to PostgreSQL. On RPI3 it is possible, on my commercial hosting service it is not possible.
In the past I felt that I owned my OS and my programs. Nowadays, it feels like renting a patch from a feudal lord.
I could install the OS on my computer, then on another one. Not anymore, at least not all of them.
Democracy appeared in the Ancient Greece where people owned land of their farms. And only owners could participate in the democracy. So if Big Tech really wants a democracy let them make us owners again.
Cigarettes are also popular, bring a lot of money to their creators, but it does not mean that they are good.
I did not see this particular Star War movie, but i doubt that it is a cinematographic art. Frankly, I think it is a set of dorky cliches for kind of naive children and adults.
Economical LED lams made Daylight saving time change obsolete.
It just brings confusion into our lives and adds complexity to computer systems.
People are obliged to repeat trillions of times "do not forget to change time tomorrow" for no rational reason, but just because populists are afraid to change anything due to the Status quo bias https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I saw quite a few errors at the commercial maps too. What is worse, I could not correct them quickly or at all. An edit review takes weeks. Sometimes I just leave an error alone. Though, I could edit the OSM map and correct almost any error in real time.
At the OSM I can record a GPS/GLONASS track while driving, cycling, or walking, and publish it. So it is visible later. It is especially useful in mountains or remote areas, where either there is no satellite imagery, or a path is not visible.
that when IT colleagues drive in a car and it stops due to a malfunction, the first thing they do is all get out from the car, close doors, and then get back inside, before trying to start the engine again.
Humanity is definitively reaching the Civilization Bottleneck. Evolution based of natural selection inevitably produces a civilization of competing imperialistic entities, which in combination with advanced nuclear technology creates an "explosive" mixture.
The civilization bottleneck theory explains The Great Silence, why there are no radio or TV signals from other stars. Every natural selection civilization self-destructs itself at a certain stage of political&military competition.
Obviously, it does not have a directional antenna, simply because a smartphone does not know to what tower it is connecting so it radiates in all direction.
Yes, theoretically id does not radiate from one point, but practically speaking it does.
I did not want to say that smartphone or a router electromagnetic radiation is that harmful. I do not know it.
I just wanted to inform that if one worries that it may be harmful, then it is possible to reduce the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation thousands of times by moving a device just several centimeters from the body. Because the radiation decreases by the square of distance.
Certainly, there are numerous ways people try to circumvent the inverse-square law with more or less success, including directional antennas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Still, this is the fundamental unbreakable law of nature. That is, by the way, why there is no powerful central cell tower in a city, but several cell towers covering the area.
The intensity of radiation passing through any unit area is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the point source. It is the fundamental law of the universe, and It is valid for any radiation, including electromagnetic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Practically it means, that even a small increase in distance decreases the radiation dramatically. So putting a smartphone into a backpack, or on a windowsill, away from the bed, decreases the radiation probably by several orders of magnitude.
In even simpler words, - do not keep radiating devices, like a smartphone, router, etc., too close to a place were you sit or sleep.

as if it was not enough that the whole city is packed with cars, now they start to send them to the orbit...

trow money away to support an army of paid social functioneers.
Is it the problem to add a fenced patch of land to the embassy? Even prisoners have got the right to walk at the fresh air.

a company needs seven hundred lawyers. Let alone flying it.

I may be wrong, but it is my impression.
At least the US switched to the Hindu-Arabic numerals. It would be even harder if not.
I need more light in the morning though. I often wake up at about 5.

I use OpenStreetMap http://www.osm.org/ . It is kind of Wikipedia approach to mapping.
By the way, I use this web application to view Wikipedia articles on the OSM map: http://ausleuchtung.ch/geo_wik... . It works for all language versions of Wikipedia, and to view hotels, supermarkets, etc. this one: http://ausleuchtung.ch/travel_...
that when IT colleagues drive in a car and it stops due to a malfunction, the first thing they do is all get out from the car, close doors, and then get back inside, before trying to start the engine again.
An allusion on restarting computer.
I would add check-in counters, ticketing, customs, immigration. People cannot just come in to a plane from the street.

Cellphones are not isotropic radiators.
Here is the general idea of a cell phone radiation pattern: http://www.raymaps.com/wp-cont...
Obviously, it does not have a directional antenna, simply because a smartphone does not know to what tower it is connecting so it radiates in all direction.
Yes, theoretically id does not radiate from one point, but practically speaking it does.
I did not want to say that smartphone or a router electromagnetic radiation is that harmful. I do not know it.

Still, this is the fundamental unbreakable law of nature. That is, by the way, why there is no powerful central cell tower in a city, but several cell towers covering the area.
It is just an example. If a smartphone is in the pocket, the distance to the body is 1 mm. If it is in the backpack, it is 10 cm, or 100 mm.
But the radiation intensity is lower not 100 times, but 100*100 = 10000, ten thousand times lower.
The inverse-square law is applicable also to such things as, say, shrapnel, light, loud sound, etc.
The intensity of radiation passing through any unit area is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the point source. It is the fundamental law of the universe, and It is valid for any radiation, including electromagnetic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

from now on the periodic advertising pauses on the Internet access something like it is now on TV cable?
It would be better to teach students the etiquette of modern communication.
For example, not to talk loudly and continuously over the telephone in public transport.
