That's $450 in 2020 dollars. The PS5 launched at $399 in 2020 (digital version)

In what ways would Facebook be different had they followed that science?

My understanding of this is that the company wants to use L band, which is the designation for the range of frequencies in the radio spectrum from 1 to 2 gigahertz (GHz)

Doesn't 5G use higher frequency than that?

Is the company, a satellite company, trying to use their satellites to provide 5G or something? So if the interference starts at the satellites, it could affect other parts of the world?

>“We have presented to the FCC a proposal to utilize our terrestrial midband spectrum as a greenfield opportunity that is aligned with the commission’s stated goals of providing the foundation of the 5G future,” explained Doug Smith, Ligado president and CEO. “By deploying 40 megahertz of smart capacity on midband spectrum, we can create a model of at least a partial 5G network — a next-generation, hybrid satellite-terrestrial network — that will enable 5G use cases and mobile applications that require ultra-reliable, highly secure and pervasive connectivity.”

Makes sense. The software needs to access that code for the spreadsheet to work, so if it was encrypted for example, then the spreadsheet would be unusable unless you know the password

I think you just need to read right to left?

"const int * foo" means that foo is a pointer to an int that is constant.

Which could also be "int const * foo" foo is a pointer to a constant int.

But since the const qualifier for pointers can't be reordered like this, I think the point is that it's a better practice to have the const come after, so that it ALWAYS come after in your codebase regardless of the context?

Someone mentioned you can't get any suggestion for Hillary Clinton Email.

If I type "Hillary Clinton Emai" I don't even get a suggestion for email :/

Windows doesn't just have a flag.

For example:

- If I download this using Chrome: https://aka.ms/getvsdbgps1

- Open a command prompt, cd to my Downloads directory

- Execute this:

    notepad GetVsDbg.ps1:Zone.Identifier
I get:

    [ZoneTransfer]
    ZoneId=3
    HostUrl=https://vsdebugger.blob.core.windows.net/vsdbg-16-0-11220-2/GetVsDbg.ps1
Some files I see also have a ReferrerUrl
