Google is no better here, I would say they are even worse since they are scanning your files actively. Remember story of Father who was asked by doctor to send his baby son private parts photos due to covid and Google not only locked him out but also notified Police. Even after getting statement from Law Enforcement there was no crime they didn't restore his access. Guy lost 20 years of live history due to algorithm.
I feel the narrative on these kind of issues should be updated. We've been using their framing of "algorithms" but it is taking away all responsibility from the US tech workers who are actually designing and running Google.
The guy lost 20 years of life history due to US tech workers at Google wrongfully blocking his account and then ignoring his pleads for reactivation.
When US tech workers can show up to take cash and bonus payments from Google, they can also show up to take responsibility for Google's impact.
It's already in use at least it automotive. If you are not working with safety critical systems (ADAS type) Rust and to some extent embassy is already in the wild. Companies like ETAS (https://www.etas.com/ww/en/) or Ferrous (https://ferrous-systems.com) are working to certify Rust and some crates (embassy is there) to be used with safety critical components. It's not question if but when it will be used. Volvo, Renault and some Chinese brands already ship cars with Rust embedded components in non safety critical path.
Do you have any (soft) evidences, that actually embassy is used in safety-critical applications? I think that is quite more difficult to qualify the whole of embassy with the HAL, executor and the other components used. Ferrous is just the qualified toolchain incl. core std. and some other libraries. Additionally a question is how well it integrates e.g. with ARM self-test libraries for the platform safety.
I know that sonair [0] is actually using Rust in the safety critical path. Toyota Woven [1] is for now just using it in infotainment and non-safety applications.
You have an option. Starlink. If you are not FPS player you will be really happy. There are service interruption, but they are very rare (at least for me). Just drop single ping here and there.
> Greenland decision was political not technical to pay x5 more for x10 slower service.
I dunno, is "bus factor" a political or technical thing to consider? How about "did the country of this business threaten us before?" a technical or political consideration?
Personally, I'd try to stay away from entities I can't rely on, on a technical basis. Based on the article, it seems like Greenland traded stability and resilience for performance and price, doesn't seem political.
And terminal costs will be through the roof in comparison.
Who else out there is making full-on beamforming capable satellite terminals under $1k? Kymeta's over $20k+ for a single dish.
People may hate the company and the man behind it but there's something special about being able to grab specialized satcoms hardware for like $300 at Best Buy.
10 years ago a BGAN terminal ran me $5000+ and a 384k connection several thousand bucks a month. Now you can get ~512k for $5 a month in Standby Mode on a $300 dish.
For us who experienced satellite internet and phone networks before Starlink appeared and tried to push down the prices, that doesn't sound so outlandish for internet that goes through space and is accessible literally everywhere on the planet. If anything it sounds cheap.
Kanidm made some weird decision that ruled it out in one of big organisation I try to deploy it. Separate Radius password. For telco that’s half its use cases, and there is separate random password. Whole Network engineering department was like WTF ? You can’t have single password which is one of important reasons to have SSOA.
Why on earth you choose product so expensive where dryer is basically fan with heater ?
With that price range you can buy Miele hardware with heat pump dryer that is basically non-breakable and an order of magnitude more energy efficient.
Really - I would like to know how you came to purchase decision :)
With bigger appliance purchases like that the way often/should (clearly not always) work is they should be more robust and effective. A cheap drier needs to be babysat or it becomes a fire hazard. It also can just door a poor job of drying your stuff.
I have the cheapest Costco drier. It’s fine, but I do have to keep an eye on it.
Parts are another story.
I have miele Washing Machine. It has brushed motor so after ~8 years I need to replace brushes. Miele ones cost 60$. That's 20% price of cheapest washing machine I found on market. Im' sure 40$ of that is handling those spare parts across many years.
Other, more complicated components cost more than cheap, other vendor washing machine.
In a lot of use cases you only need to change the host name. https://dns0.eu/ or dns0.eu is not that difficult to remember.
The ip addresses are indeed not memorable, but users who change the settings of their routers won’t have too much trouble copy and pasting an IP address once or twice. Save it in a password manager and you’re done.
Bureaucracy has nothing to do with it, it’s a matter of resources.
I totally agree. When you go into that much trouble of creating an alternative (safer) EU DNS, try at least to make it user memorable by using easy IPs. I don5 understand why other HN users have downvoted your comment.
Would be cool, but it's very very hard to get such a memorable IP. And it costs a lot of money. Those who own such IPs wont give them away so easily. So unless you get a donation of such an IP address (actually more a block of IPs, like Quad9 who got 9.9.9.0/24 from IBM, see e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/llqd7h/quad...), or have a lot of money... you'll probably be out of luck.
Because I set DNS approximately once per LAN that I build, when I configure its DHCP. The pretty IPs are cool, but this isn’t something I type more than once per year or so.
