No matter how incredible the software is, I don't see a solution for the core problem that they will need to solve: battery vs weight. It's revealing that there are no prototypes shown at all.
Very curious what their weight goal is and how they plan to deal with physics.
Yeah especially as they plan for it to be wearable. It needs to be light enough to comfortably stay on your wrist for a period of time. Taking the climbing example again, having even a few pounds extra weight on your arm makes things a lot more difficult. If they added battery packs which the Nixie could recharge from to compensate then it kind of defeats the point of it being wearable and so portable.

Would depend on how it's done, of course, but just because something is able to use battery packs doesn't force me to carry them with me all the time. Just having some I could keep in a car to replace quickly while 'out' would be sufficient for some (many?) use cases.
In the video, Adam glances at the guy behind him in line as he says "checking my statement for sketchy charges". Dude looks a lot like weev. Not sure if it's the guy himself, but that has to be intentional.
This is what I believe will be a (perhaps minor) roadblock towards adoption of these devices. It's relatively cheap compared to what's on the market now and appears very high quality. The problem is that flying machines are not well suited to a sudden loss of control, with their best option being crashing straight down.
As an intermediate pilot myself, I'd be scared to fly anywhere near the style that the promo videos do - over open water, one mistake means your drone is taking a dive. More experienced flyers are used to the fact that flying machines crash and parts need replacing on a fairly regular basis no matter how carefully you fly. That's going to be a harder sell to people buying a complete package expecting awesome output like the promo videos.
Sometimes a propellor detaches mid-flight, or the battery unplugs due to some crazy vibration. Of course, it shouldn't happen in a good design, but users are careless and it only needs to happen once to cause a good crash.
Indeed, cssh is great for getting a quick visual on a few servers, but you're pretty much limited to what will fit on your screen. Ansible really shines when you scale it up a bit further, and it grows well, allowing you to add bits and pieces as needed.
The hosts/inventory in ansible as a source of truth for your infrastructure is also a nice feature. You could use a selection from your ansible inventory to open a cssh with 'top' running on all your webservers, for example.
Exactly. The simplest explanation in my mind is that it's a white balance issue. Most photos are taken in some form of daylight, which is generally in the orange range without a pure white on a "correct" exposure. On average, photos will be taken in warmer (orange) rather than colder (blue) tones.
It would probably even work on a bunch of photos taken of a white wall in some natural light, if you averaged them out. More of an orange hue than pure white, certainly.
This is simply a side-effect of how DNS updates. The data is propagating right now, as the root nameservers for the .biz tld are already returning the Microsoft DNS servers as the correct response. The TTL for the root appears to be a day, so you should see this everywhere in 14 hours from this post.
Leaving aside the obviously deficient sysadmin work here: the timeline of the story doesn't add up. I can only hope this explanation is not accurate.
You find notes in your AWS control panel saying you should contact some Hotmail address. OK. So the first thing you do is reach out to that address and take the time to communicate intricate extortion details? Only after that you think maybe it's a good idea to start changing passwords, and right then the other party takes action and deletes all the things?
If that's what actually happened then I'm afraid something like this was bound to happen sooner or later.
I feel that a lot of people here are being unnecessarily harsh. It was all a bit of a silly mistake in hindsight but Code Spaces was a very new service I'm not even certain it had secured funding yet.
The timeline looks to me like email address shows up. Check email address. Email address contains extortion details. Try to change passwords. Hacker gets in again and again while deleting stuff. Cannot get rid of hacker. Do not have money. Within 12 hours everything is gone.
