Probably not with a phone, but "affordable" full-frame MILC/DSLR cameras with 100-400mm or 600mm lenses exist and people have them. Much better chances.
Odd, one of those pictures clearly show either a regular RC helicopter, or a full-scale helicopter. You can see the boom and tail light clearly. And no sound associated with it? There are designs for "silent" blades. I mean theyre not silent, bud at least less noisy.
Even decently fast glass won’t do a good job of capturing drones at night unless there’s a significant amount of ambient light.
And telephoto lenses with the range you mention with fast apertures are not exactly cheap. A 600mm F/4 goes for $12-15K and is still not fast enough for shooting moving subjects in the dark.
I did find it odd when this news reporter said of the craft "it's really difficult to show you with our camera, so we have to show you with our phones." You'd think a broadcast-grade camera rig would be better than a smartphone at this.
Are the odds really better though? A quick search reveals an Everest death rate of between 1% - 1.6% depending on the period. Suicide success rate seems at least an order of magnitude higher (maybe more).
No, suicide success is around 1%. That success rate varies widely with method. But if, for example, you just down a bunch of pills and then tell someone, you're extremely likely to live.
Self-leveling usually "one time", or "slowly", as in changes based on the weight on the rear axle. It doesn't work on the timescale of acceleration, braking, cornering, etc.
Actually, it did it "all the time". I found out about this while being stuck in traffic, and seeing the lights move slightly up and down while inching forward and stopping. It was visible because it moved in discrete steps, compared to the continuous movement of the car.
I hadn't known it was a thing before, and went looking in the owner's manual for confirmation.
From my *personal* experience, the target audience, to a large degree, doesn't care at all about owning domains, websites or servers. They want something that just works and the less they have to deal with technology, the better. In that sense, a reasonable and ethical service where you own nothing is much better than one that preys on you and you still own nothing.
People want the thing whose functioning they are largely ignorant of to just be solved by someone else already, news at eleven.
It is, I feel, the responsibility of those who do know how these things work (e.g. us) to point out which things are important and which are safely dumped onto someone else. In this case, one’s identity on the ’net is very important, and something one should absolutely not put into position to be held for ransom later by being bundled with other services.
Do rent a hosting service, absolutely. (Do not trust it to hold the only copy of your data or metadata or social graph, but that’s usually something photographers understand implicitly, unlike e.g. writers.) Website hosting, DNS hosting, autoupload, social crossposts, whatever, buy all of that stuff as a bundle if you want—your risk threshold for redoing all of that after a hostile acquisition of your hoster is your own. But do not, under any circumstances, let them hold your identity at the same time. On the ’net, that’s your domain registration.
You own the domain. You can take it and they can't withhold it.
The registrar is already doing what this site is doing. I don't have a problem with a site making it easy to setup. It's the site holding a thousand website domains.
What you are asking for is different.
If FolioHD said:
Have a domain in mind that you'd like to use? Type it here and we'll do all the work setting that up.
What they are actually doing is:
We've bought these 900~ domains and we are holding them. Pick one you'd like and we'll set it up.
Probably a remote with buttons to unlock the car (no keyless entry) and a key to insert into an ignition lock to turn it - that's what I've seen in today's entry-level cars.
Car thieves have been using antennas to remotely trigger the keyless entry to great success here in Canada. Many people leave their keys on their doors so you just need to put a range extender against the door and scan cars in front until one of them opens.
Maybe it's because I'm exclusively an HF user, but I have on my wall cards from stations I've made contact with and chatted to in Brazil, Thailand, Kuwait, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Japan,... which to me feels at least a little bit diverse.
I fail to see how TCP/IP fragmentation really affects this use case. I don't know why it's mentioned and given that there aren't multiple network devices with different MTUs it will cause issues. Am I right? Is that the lack of technical knowledge you're referring to or am I missing something?
Modern NICs will do that for you via a feature called TSO -- TCP Segmentation Offload.
More shocking to me is that anyone would attempt to run network throughput oriented software inside of Chromium. Look at what Cloudflare and Netflix do to get an idea what direction they should really be headed in.
They use Chromium (or any other browser) not out of choice but because they have to in order to participate in third party video conference sessions. Of course it’s best to reverse engineer the video conferencing clients and do HTTP requests directly without a headless browser, but I presume they’ve tried that and it’s very difficult, not to mention prone to breaking at any moment.
What’s surprising to me is they can’t access the compressed video on the wire and have to send decoded raw video. But presumably they’ve thought about that too.
There are no packets on the user's API. But under the hood everything is sent in packets, numbered, ACK'ed and checksumed. The maximum packet size supported by IP is 64KB, as they say. I'm surprised the kernel supports that because I'm not aware of any real device that supports packets that big (Ethernet Jumbo Frames are only 9KB), but I guess it must.
MyISAM in the olden days could/would magically lose data. InnoDB has been the de facto standard for a while and I haven't seen data loss attributed to it.
Side note, Factorio 2.0 + Space Age is coming in a few days (Monday, the 21st). Ardent players, be ready to press the pause button on your non-factory life and dive deep.
I guess I'm old but in many of these games, they don't get any better if just more stuff is added. It's already complex enough.
Civilization: add more civics and techs and special resources, more civs, more units... It doesn't bring anything to the game. It just makes the excel more annoying to deal with. I paid for Phoenix Point (from the creator of XCOM). Nice game but when they asked for feedback it was just about wishing either more units or more maps or more factions, which would you prefer? None! How about making the core mechanic more fluid so there's less "oh I didn't mean that"? Or the crashing and having to start over after many updates.
What would really make Factorio better? I don't know. Maybe a simplified interface? There's so many ctrl-click things and having to place and stock turrets in a hurry that it just makes me not want to start the game etc.
The expansion is extensively described in the Factorio blog entries. There are a lot of new mechanics there, they tried to avoid having the new planets to be just more of the same. We'll see how well they succeeded.
There are also a lot of Quality of Life changes in the new version.
I’ve read all of the FFFs as they came out. I have a feeling that between space platform constraints, spoilables, and recently revealed heating mechanics, they may have taken the logistics puzzle idea a bit too far for the average player. This is coming from someone who has finished Space Exploration (spaceship victory, not the crazy secret puzzle victory).
Guess I’ll have to wait and see for myself when I have organized my life around another Factorio dive.
Space exploration, the mod, added so much more than just more, it added new kinds of logistics and an exciting setting of exploration and gradual conquering of a solar system.
I would say, still, that SE was the missing expansion so I've already had the expansion and I'm not that tempted by the new updates (Except for elevated rails!)
The SE author also showed impeccable taste in game design, improving on the base game, their beacon change being a good example, running over pipes another one.
I'm firmly in the "Civ 1 was the best Civ" for this reason, along with being able to play an entire game in a single extended sitting. But surveys show that all other versions of the game poll significantly higher.
I agree. Have played all but Civ 4. Civ 1 has a few faults like way too many game deciding dice throws. Say a turn 6 goody hut spawns either a new city basically doubling your victory chances, or 6 barbarians most likely ending your game really soon. But it's still the best overall. It seems they really understood the power of decisions there. There's no decision clutter about 15% bonuses or so.
Hopefully the Factorio expansion doesn’t feel like the constant new buttons added to CK and EU. Those ultimately add nothing to the experience. Why do we need a fourth way to spend political points to improve your regions?

Have you actually read what new content is coming, or are you just saying things?
There is a ton of new mechanics. Theres a ton of improved mechanics. And then there's a ton of new content. Everything you critises as missing is actually in the DLC
github commit, pr creation/merge, stars frequency would probably noticeably decrease. would love someone to accidentally leak some observability dashboard as a meme. MSFT is a big company, no one will find you, its cool.
