- walrus01Just out of curiosity, if HN is still running on one physical system, what does a daily or weekly traffic chart look like for the switch port facing it?

Because their web developers are too lazy to write anything to proper standards. They're doing some kind of lazy "Check for Chrome, because everyone must be running that, if not, redirect to an Unsupported page".
I've yet to find a website that "refuses" to work in Firefox which doesn't work just fine when I use a user agent switching extension to present a standard Chrome on MacOS or Chrome on Windows useragent.
- I've already seen images on the MLS uploaded by real estate agents that look like this is the same concept as what they've been doing, generally, to bait people into coming and touring houses.
- Grace Hopper is the Nvidia product code name for the chip, much like how Intel cpus were named after rivers, etc

- It's worth mentioning that the 'culture' you describe is also something that significantly aided and abetted various real estate scams and bubble related activity. Vancouver has all sort of shady shit going on in real estate.
- I was hoping for a full text dump of the SMART data from the drives.
- Everything except independent two way satellite (geostationary VSAT, Oneweb, O3B, Starlink, and Iridium). Which is very costly and rare for regular people to use, and requires a foreign method of USD/CAD/EUR/GBP billing.
- What happens if your last name is Cummings and your home address is in Penistone, South Yorkshire, England?
Or perhaps in the quaint fishing town of Dildo, Newfoundland.
- Yes, there's already Ukrainian fpv flown quadcopters which are optimized to intercept, as a munition, common flying wing camera surveillance platforms. I've seen probably 20 or 30 different videos now taken from the view of the quadcopter, with detonator contact wires sticking out the front, diving into the rear of a large Russian flying wing UAV.
- > How do improvised bases offer protection, especially in a world where radar on satellites sees through clouds and certain vegetation?
If operating from an airfield that has been improvised out of a straight stretch of highway, the grouping of vehicles that contain all of the necessary ground support equipment and munitions resupply can be disguised to resemble an ordinary civilian cargo box truck, or tractor trailer combo.
Unless the attacking force is willing to begin with the resources needed, and repercussions of airstriking everything that looks like a civilian cargo truck moving in the region, it would be extremely difficult to eliminate the group of vehicle and men that compromise the ground support equipment element. Particularly when you might have multiple groups of such roaming randomly around an area.
- From an infosec perspective here part of the problem is the many employers' corporation policy on work from home laptops. These laptops were either rigged with one of two things:
A) remote desktop software such as anydesk
Or
B) a kvm over IP device providing a virtual video, keyboard and mouse session to a remote user over html5/tls1.3
If it's option (b), unless this laptop farm operator had in their possession some special DPRK provided unit that identifies its USB manufacturer ID and device ID as something innocuous, this is a problem.
People are not using sufficiently tight endpoint security policies and logging to identify USB devices that identify themselves as kvm over IP bridges. Or just permit listing a certain set of allowed external USB keyboards and mice (company provided).
- > I wish this article went into more details on what the "National Information Network" is.
It's AS12880, the state owned telecom company which all ISPs are obligated to be downstream of. It operates Iran's international links to other global scale ISPs via Turkey and other paths.

And its also government run counterpart, the "TIC"

- The rough estimate calculation for the theoretical 39 to 61 kWh per month are for a perfectly mounted, south facing, 15 degree tilted PV panel such as might be on the roof of a warehouse, or in a field somewhere. With no buildings or trees or shade obstructions around it. And perfectly exposed to sunlight from the moment of sunrise all the way to sunset. That's the 'default' assumptions built into pvwatts for calculating a fixed installation PV site.
On an actual car that parks under trees, in parking garages, beside buildings in the shade, etc, the actual production would be much less. Not to mention the panel would be 'flat' on the roof and rarely if ever angled facing south, unless you happened to park on a hill with the roof of the car angled south...
It's also not possible to say that a theoretical 39kWh can be turned into so many miles at 270Wh/mile because it's not a perfectly efficient system, I'd guess at least 15-20% would be lost to heat in charging the battery and DC-DC conversion.
- If you were to theoretically have a perfect 400W PV panel on top of a car, and left in direct sunlight, it might be enough to run a medium sized peltier/TEC cooling unit to somewhat cool down the car while you leave it parked. Or a very small heat pump. Would definitely add a lot of extra cost in manufacturing and complexity.
- I agree on this. Using the pvwatts calculator for a very rough estimate of cumulative kWh produced per *month*, a theoretical 380W panel on top of a car that is in perfect sunshine from sunrise to sunset, never shaded or obstructed, on a car in the sunny climate of San Diego CA will produce the following:
61 kWh per month in the best month of the year (August)
39 kWh per month in the worst month of the year (December)
As you can see from this, the kWh per day is quite minuscule, not enough to charge a car to go any appreciable distance.
- Over many years, I've yet to hear of an ocean based power generating system that comes anywhere near the $ per kWh cost produced by just covering some less-useful land in ground mount photovoltaics.
Private, entirely for profit companies, have recently answered large government tenders in the middle east to sell power at the equivalent of $0.05 USD per kWh. They are fairly confident that they can make a profit doing this, even with the cost to incur the long term debt to privately build a massive solar power plant.
The cumulative amount of solar power being produced within Germany right now is a good example of its practical use in a less sunny climate.
In terms of placing things in the ocean, hiring the sort of offshore work vessel with a built-in crane can go and place or remove multi ton apparatus is very costly. Maritime construction for things like laying coastal submarine cable, building piers and docks and marinas, setting and maintaining marker buoys isn't cheap.
Laying and maintaining HV AC or DC submarine cables in salt water is also particularly known to be expensive. Hiring a 36'-42' aluminum landing craft for coastal construction projects, with fuel and crew can be easily $500 an hour.
Labor and vehicle costs are greatly increased compared to doing things on dry land.
- Check out the antenna size, path loss, link budget and modulation and FEC that were required for new horizons to send back data at the equivalent of about 2400 bps. Tiny cubesat size things have no hope of sensing useful data to earth.
- Notably 400Wh/kg will be very useful for medium size UAV. Battery packs made out of the best 18650 or 21700 are around 255Wh/kg right now.
- Is there a figure somewhere on how many TB of images this will produce per day when running in automated sky survey mode?
