That's interesting. Suppose it doesn't do you any good if you're looking for subdomains that don't have certs though.

So is it a thing in security distros? Is there a github for it?

What's this 'subs' command being run to enumerate subdomains?

That's the thing though, is that it's not hard to make a good antenna for a single frequency. We already know exactly how to do that. And when we're talking transmission and reception of radio, tiny incremental gains that might be eked out through some wacky design generally don't move the needle very much.

I can talk to the astronauts on the ISS on 2 meters with an antenna I can make out of a PVC pipe and a metal measuring tape using a 5-watt transmitter. Improving that design by 2% doesn't really mean anything useful in this context.

It would usually be vastly cheaper and easier to just increase the transmit power. Or sometimes it's the available power that's the limiting factor, and a 2% increase to the antenna isn't going to matter.

Point is, trying to chase tiny gains in one dimension or another over a thoroughly tested and well-understood antenna design is kind of a waste of time outside of an academic, beard-scratching context.

This comment really sums it up well. Literally everything with antenna design is a trade-off. You can design an antenna to radiate very well at a given wavelength. The better it is at doing this, the worse it tends to be at every other wavelength. You can make an antenna that radiates to some degree across a wide array of wavelengths, but it's not actually going to work very well across any of them.

Same thing with radiation patterns. You can make a directional antenna that has a huge amount of gain in one direction. The trade-off is that it's deaf and dumb in every other direction. (See a Yagi-Uda design, for instance.)

Physics is immutable and when it comes to antenna design there really is no such thing as free lunch. Other than coming up with some wacky shapes I don't really think AI is going to be able to create any type of "magic" antenna that's somehow a perfect isotropic radiator with a low SWR across some huge range of wavelengths.

Glad I'm not the only one who was bothered by this. No subnet masks in the diagram, and I'm supposed to assume that 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 are not in the same broadcast domain. So my default gateway is what, 10.0.0.0, and that router has a route to 10.0.0.2/? with a next-hop of 10.1.0.5?

Wackiest network I've seen in a while, and I've seen some real winners.

I don't get it either. Systemd units are so much more powerful and flexible than init scripts. Writing those bash scripts for everything was a complete pain in the ass.

You may disagree with the architecture or design decisions made with systemd, but I don't see how it's possible to argue that SysVinit was in any way actually "better".

It's not a TMBG song, they just covered it. It was originally released by a Canadian vocal quartet called The Four Lads in 1953.

I keep seeing replies like this. Insurance is not the point. Come to Venice Beach in Los Angeles and you'll quickly understand that you'll be calling the insurance company once every couple days to replace your bike if you leave it locked up outside for more than a few minutes at a time.

Around here bike theft is a sport. If they can't get the entire bike, they'll strip every single part off the frame in under 5 minutes.

On top of that, I have quite the emotional attachment to my bike. It means something to me. A cash payout doesn't replace what was lost if it were to be stolen.

Bike insurance is a nice consolation prize if you get ripped off, but it's absolutely in no way a viable solution to the problem of widespread, organized bike theft.

This is absolutely a massive issue with it. Apple did this with retail employees back in the day and it was terrible. Employee reviews were based on it, managers had to call customers and apologize if the customer didn't leave a 9 or 10 rating, it was absolutely awful.

One of the biggest problems with it is that an average person, unaware of what NPS is, doesn't understand that giving any rating less than a 9 is essentially giving a rating of zero.

If I have what I would consider to be an average interaction with a business, e.g. I just buy something and leave, no need for support, no problems to deal with, etc., that seems average to me. Based on a non-NPS understanding of a 0-10 scale, I'd say that's what, a 7? But the business now considers this as a failure on the part of the person that helped me at that store.

This is why sales people and phone reps are constantly now asking you to give them a 10/10 rating if you receive a survey, because even if they literally just took your money and handed you change, their jobs depend on you acting as if you had a heart attack and they saved your life by performing CPR or something.

It's honestly a terrible system that produces no meaningful feedback for the company and causes employees to do whatever they can to game the numbers. All you're measuring with NPS is how good your employees are at juking the stats, nothing more.

Agreed, this would be ideal. Most people don't understand that literally every access point on a given channel is part of the same broadcast domain even if they're totally separate networks. Every AP that yours can see on the same channel slows down the network for all of them, because wifi is half-duplex. Everyone needs to shut up for a second while one host on the channel transmits.

Your static site would still probably be better on AWS. Whack it into an S3 bucket, put cloudfront in front of it, and you have a globally scalable, CDN-enabled static site with at least five 9's of reliability and it costs you peanuts.

This is where I closed the tab. GTFO with your clickbait, Guardian.

The problem here is that Evan isn't Steve Jobs so much as he's just cargo-culting Steve Jobs without really understanding why Jobs was successful. Steve was able to see untapped markets, holes that could be filled by new products, completely different ways of doing things.

Most of Apple's biggest successes were had by coming up with something completely new and novel, not by ignoring user feedback when iterating on an existing product.
