I don’t see why the author would want to do this - the books are not subject to copyright. She didn’t write them after all.

I don’t know about everyone else but I’m just so sick of Apple releasing marginally improved products, calling it their biggest update ever, and then jacking up prices. $700 for an iPad mini is absurd RAM price increases or not.

This comment is over-the-top mean and unfair.

Alex was my advisor in grad school and I only know him to be honest, hard working and technically sound. I haven’t read this book closely but I’m not convinced that it’s poorly written based on cherry picking one paragraph from it.

I work at a place with a flat structure and I can’t emphasize enough how true this is.

It’s especially noticeable when you’re not one of the in-crowd.

Not really. To geolocate a user the cell providers would need to know the absolute position of all the LTE repeaters and cells (which they might). But they'd also need to compensate for indoor propagation (which is much more complex than outdoor).

Also AGPS only provides satellite ephemeris, which enables a faster time to fix, not better accuracy.

A GPS repeater would only give accurate time, not position. The repeater only repeats the signal that's captured by the antenna on the roof. I use GPS repeaters frequently in my labs to supply timing to instruments.
