Re:When Your Fiber ISP's 'Dumb' Device Screws Your TCP Sessions on Thursday December 16, 2021 @04:25PM (#29584126)
So ISP delivers router that breaks your internet, and they won't replace it with a real ONT? Then why not simply replace it yourself? As long as it isn't PON, but just plain AON, that should be relatively straight forward.

You are aware that there are shortcuts ? In our local stores (NL), they are clearly marked, so one can more easily get to the sections one is interested in, and skip those that aren't.
Re:OpenDroneMap – Simple Images into 3D on Tuesday March 26, 2019 @08:23AM (#19491055)
What kind of image quality would one need to get something useful out of this. Useful : Create a 3d model of a house with surrounding trees, so I can see the effect of those trees on a planned solar installation. Or create a 3d model of a garden to see where the sun and shadow are over the course of the year.
So to be clear : In the US the government (or its representatives) can damage your property, and then isn't paying for those damages without hassle for the owner ?

Besides that : Why does the police need to use this amount of force to apprehend someone with a gun ? Couldn't they just isolate the guy, and cordon off the area so he can't harm others and then just wait ? Unless there are hostages involved, or immediate danger to the public, it seems a more appropriate way is to de-escalate rather then escalate.

PacBio and ONT are far from upstarts, they have both already invested millions and millions into their respective technologies. Pacific Biosciences has a Market Cap of 532.88M Oxford Nanopore is at least as big.
Re:Tesla Misses Model 3 Production Goals on Tuesday October 03, 2017 @03:45AM (#15390852)
So Tesla is selling 100K cars per year, which according to http://carsalesbase.com/us-car-sales-data/tesla/ would translate to about 0.5% market share.

Looks like they have a long way to go before they will be a threat to the big car companies..
