They should almost just make it so the blaze plan of firebase or other cloud services has a $1 non refundable pre-payment so they can just whittle away at the pennies instead of getting charged processing/transaction fees on a $0.01 transaction. Tops up to $1 if it goes to $0
I think people would pay $1 to enable the paid plans. If you’re going that far, you’re getting $1 of use out of it.
I’ve had Google charge me $0.01 before for firebase usage.
They really should have waited until I owed more since that cost them money.
I’d never even heard of this before. Wtf
It’s a invite only alpha and as I write this it’s #7 on the steam rankings of current players, 6 if you wanna exclude Banana which is it’s own hilarious thing
Dota 2 is #2 and has 565k right now
What’s more likely to happen is Starship’s will be launched where the entire ship becomes the telescope, and then we’ll have arrays of these much further away.
Not sure if it’s the same for radio, but for optical that means we can get a 9 meter mirror up there without any expensive folding mechanism, and who knows how big if we fold them as the fairing is not only wider but also longer.
Cost would go from billions to hundreds of millions or less. James Webb cost 10b.
The James Webb folding mirror is 6.5m and was folded into a 4.5m fairing…

It let’s you require both?
It looks like it’s pin and optional fingerprint, not pin and fingerprint for me? On Android
This is why I always turn it off in airports though.
Just in addition to my other reply… that was assuming it’s not a government agency.
The police can just force you to do it, but they can’t force a password.
Everyone using a passkey and biometrics on their hardware is law enforcements wet dream.
Edit: Including border security where you have less rights.
It’s just much weaker than a password and passkey / security key.
Something you are can easily be taken from you. (Edit: eg lifting fingerprints can unlock things)
Something you know is harder and would escalate a situation if forced substantially.
It could be your phone or computer as well, they don’t have to be in a password manager.
And that’s often going to be the default people use.
Now it’s just your face or fingerprint, both of which are easier to bypass if it’s targeted.
I highly dislike the idea of a passkey replacing a password as it means you’ve lost the something you know and replace it only with something you have.
Passwords AND passkeys together sound great.
Kinda defeats the purpose of doing it private and local.
I wouldn’t trust any claims a 3rd party service makes with regards to being private.
It took me way to long to realize what I was looking at…
So, I tried to watch it…
The non English parts with the aliens wouldn’t show the subtitles no matter what I did.
I wasn’t the only one having that trouble
Wtf am i going to watch something where I can’t understand important scenes?
It definitely feels great when I get to remove the
//hack abc due to bug in library xyz version 1.4.5, issue tracker says it’s fixed in 1.5.0. - link
// I told them I'd do this but only if they gave me time next sprint to fix it - 12-03-1997
I mean, on TV every character seems to be able to hack any system in a few seconds.
They clearly must have done some research by watching some NSA hackers who can hack every system.
I feel like something like https://www.storj.io/ is on the path to what we would want/need?
There might be some additional requirements for a true CDN to ensure data is closer to where it’s needed and in as many regions as needed though with the right amount of bandwidth. The data gets stored all over the place, but that doesn’t mean its optimal. But they do seem to claim it’s faster on their website…
Edit: For those not wanting to click, TLDR is they use excess storage around the world and make it accessible anywhere, and safe from failures. People with excess storage can join the network if they have enough storage/bandwidth and pass some tests. Their API is S3 compatible.
Those times you see an oddly specific and very weird rule and you just know there’s probably a great story around it.
They’re bigger so it’s hard to know, but it’s usually something like 2.9% + 10c a transaction.
At their scale though who knows
