Now, it’s six gigahertz according to the article. But by putting the routers close to each other, it doesn’t matter so much.

The article says that it’s six gigahertz and that they are putting one unit on each side of the wall they want to blast through. So the signal is extremely strong right at the wall and then goes through it weakening and hits the other device and then is re-transmitted or whatever. By putting the routers directly on the wall, next to each other, they have enough power to get through the obstruction. But if they were in the middle of the room, for example, they probably would not.

Why do you think the vast majority of us are here? That would be one good reason.

This is fantastic. If you know what the problem is, because you’ve been diagnosed or whatever, and you know what medicine will do it, and you are capable of making it, I see no issue at all with this. You don’t need a PhD in computer science to browse the internet.

If nothing else they should have tried to report it anonymously

This is what you get for doing good. Next time, don’t try to help them. Just let them get fucked.

I’m feeling like a star. They can’t stop my shine. I’m loving cloud nine my heads in the sky.

But damn it man, I wanted to turn a chunk of coal into gold LOL.

Okay, for a second, I thought that somebody had figured out how to make gold in a lab, which would then obviously bring down the price dramatically, because it would no longer be a super precious metal.

Use a proof of work system. The more work that is required, the fewer bots are going to actually take the time to do it. You could easily put in a system that says something to the effect of, has this person done at least 24 hours worth of computational work in order to validate this. If no, then they can’t do whatever. If yes, then they can do that thing. There’s a very low chance that a bought would actually do 24 hours worth of work. And even if they did, they sure as hell wouldn’t be generating millions of accounts doing it that way.

The way I see it, you force some sort of proof of work that takes 24 hours to do, and then you can just submit that to each individual website you wish to work with so that they can validate that you’ve actually done the work you say you have.

That’s true, but the more resilient they can be made the better. I know at first they were talking about potentially reusing them 10 times each and now they have successfully demonstrated that they can do it 20 times each instead. So perhaps with some extra maintenance work and some inspections they could get it up to 30 or 40 times per booster. There would obviously become a point where maintenance would cost more than just building a new booster at which point they would obviously start retiring boosters and making new ones to replace them instead of reflying them.

Weird, I do not know how I missed this publication entirely because I’ve been reading technical reviews for a long time.

Edit: Perhaps it’s because it’s more hardware-based and I am more of a software person.

Oh, absolutely. And this failure here will just show that these are things that need to be done in the maintenance, which will make them last even longer.

The day was not that long ago where every booster was expended after every launch. So the fact that this thing launched 23 times before failing is quite frankly amazing.

Not your keys, not your crypto. If you do not have your wallet and keys on a device you control, then you don’t actually own crypto.

Plus, there’s something to be said for efficiency. Text takes up very little disk space, where video takes up a lot of disk space. I hear of people that use like a terabyte worth of data per month on their internet connections. And personally, I can’t even get over 100 gigs, even with downloading books and watching some YouTube(99% audio only).

Why exactly am I not surprised? When you don’t have open source stuff, you don’t own your shit. And this is a perfect example of it.
