This is something that really needs to be done in the states imo.

IIRC we don't have a sovereign wealth fund, but we should in order to provide a social safety net for our citizens, especially with all the uncertainties regarding the future right now.

No no no. We’re a Christian nation. Fuck them kids (literally, on an island). Get rich, fuck young models. Just like the President.

Seems like its at least bigger than the Apollo Lunar Module from the 70's

And with modern forms of entertainment to make the trip less boring.

I wonder if Starlink works if the dish is above the satellites. Technically GPS can work from the moon.

Starlink uses phased arrays pointed at the ground but lasers between satellites. So it wouldn’t be impossible to spin one around and have it bounce traffic to earth through the swarm pointing down.

But these satellites are very close to earth compared to the moon. It wouldn’t only save 0.3% transmit power vs just sending right to the surface. It’s very unlikely the consumer antennas could manage hitting an earth satellite from the moon.

> Technically GPS can work from the moon.

Well, one side of it.

Actually, it's all dark.

I don't think I would be bored in this trip!

>15 GB of space on my phone, and 1.5 GB of RAM, is dedicated to Android OS alone

The original Droid phone I used had only 256mb of memory, and could still multitask and run multiple apps at once with that limited memory. Its crazy how bloated things have become over the years.

I wonder the same thing. I've been using KDE Plasma and have not looked back.

I'm probably going to snag one of the Intel cards just for the SR-IOV and use with VM's

I tried to use SRIOV to virtualize mellanox nics with vlans on redhat Linux. Long story short it did not work. Per Nvidia the os has to also run open switch. This work was on an already complex setup in finance ... so adding open switch was considered too much additionally complexity. This requirement is not something I run across in the docs.

Anybody know better?

The situation in networking is a lot different than graphics. I don't know much other than that it depends on what specific protocol, card, firmware, and network topology you're using and there's not really generic advice. If the question is setting up Ethernet switching inside the card so VFs can talk to the network, then I think the Linux switchdev tools can configure that on their own without Open vSwitch but you probably need to find someone who understands your specific type of deployment for better advice.

Depending what you're doing AMD's support for VirtIO Native Context might be a useful alternative (I think it gives less isolation which could be good or bad depending on use).

Such a stupid joke but it gave me a laugh.

And now Edge is just another one of many chromium based browsers.

I have have noticed this, there seems to be an 'Ivy League ceiling' which exists and presents others from breaking into certain roles, even if they have the experience and skills for them.

I had a recruiter on LinkedIn reach out recently who sent me a PDF of a job that they thought I might be interested in. I read through it, and the job seemed fine, but on the very bottom it said "people who went to a mediocre school need not apply".

I could kind of understand this if it was a junior position since the incoming person might not have any real experience, but this was for a staff level and required at least ten years of experience.

I responded back to the recruiter with something like "I didn't go to a fancy school, and I don't want to work with these assholes if they think that that's more important then fifteen years of experience. I'm not sure why you sent this to me, you can see my education history clearly on my LinkedIn profile".

all about keeping out the riffraff. Just being Ivy League isn't enough by the way, you very well may need to be in the right social clubs ("fraternities" by any other name), have had the right internships and participate in the right college sports to accumulate the necessary social proof of being a 'culture fit'.

This might be the start of hacker mercenary groups which corporations hire.

This already exists to some degree. It’s the “Brand Protection” industry and they’ve been doing it for years. Our clients were all Blue Chips that need additional help and or want plausible deniability.

Having worked in the space, the normal flow would look something like:

1. Random WordPress blog is hacked, hosts a fake iCloud page, the is linked to in phishing emails. 2. We find it, either by direct reporting or by our internet crawling 3. We reach out to the hacked company, their hosting provider, and their DNS. The goal being take this site offline no matter how.

This worked for the vast majority of hacks. Some random plumbing company has no clue their marketing site is compromised and happily works with us. Or maybe they host at GoDaddy and we have a privileged relationship with them and they disabled the site. Last resort the DNS company will just delete their records.

Sometimes, though, we get a compromised site on a host in a foreign land that won’t cooperate. Then what? Well, it’s a legal grey area that our in-house counsel felt was perfectly fine: hack the site and take it down the hard way. We didn’t advertise or document when we did this. It was an open-secret inside the company however.

All this does is legitimize the sadly necessary work we face in a modern world.

I don't think corporations are that stupid: they have no means of knowing if mercenaries they hire are not the same people who hacks them.

Looks like we're doing the Cyberpunk 2077 timeline?

We have been for decades, since the 1990s at least. Pondsmith was on to something.

I remember in the 2000's there was a site that did exactly this. I can't remember the name now though, maybe someone else will know what I'm talking about.
