The rails are welded together (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_welding), so there are no joins.

Please note that kubectl also contains something similar: e.g. kubectl explain deployment.spec

The CAT train is a scam. It costs much more than a Railjet that takes the same time and you end up at the central station.

I also looked into that and found that it extracts some metrics from it that will get stored in a cloud service called "Aurora".

Well, at least it was fun to write it.

I'm the author of the articles and did just now see the comments here. The brush contains a NFC tag and will open phillips.com once you hold it against your phone's NFC reader. That is the payload that comes back from this call.

They looked me up on LinkedIn using my email address and called by boss to ask me about the service.

You got a very noisy signal without much information (the gray thing in the background) with an random map overlay generated by wxtoimg. Try to hide the map overlay and you should see the picture you really received.

BTW: I'm using an old TV antenna.

I have this one: http://www.nooelec.com/store/sdr/nesdr-mini2-rtl2832u-r820t2...

I already received aircraft positions (ADS-B), aircraft radio, ACARS, VDL, HFDL, satellite pictures, ISS pictures, a ISS astronaut speaking, a bunch of other satellites (including radio pirates on US military sats), small outdoor weather stations, a portable radio for children, some AM radio stations, a lot of ham radio and pagers.

There is also huge amount of signals I can't decode yet.

As an very active twitter user this kind of behaviour is very anoying for me. I would never klick one of these.
Re:Japan's Plan for Centimeter-Resolution GPS on Sunday April 27, 2014 @11:37AM (#7655469)
Yes. Did you read my comment? "[...], or in this example a extension for it"

What a wonderful example for the "standards" xkcd: https://xkcd.com/927/

Many countries in these days try to build their own alternative to GPS, or in this example a extension for it. This for sure makes the location mor accurate and the systems are independant from the united states.

On the other hand for instance mobile phones have to implement all these systems and this makes them much more expensive and complicated. From my point of view it would be better to build up a universal international system. Yes, and I know this is nearly undoable.

Ask HN: How did you get the first users for your smartphone app?

I recently released my first android app. However, there have been only three downloads. How did you get the first couple users of your app? Did you buy ads to promote? Or were those just random users who found your app in the store?(FYI: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.johannes_mittendorfer.abfahrt)

Looks like gtranslate doesn't support https. Strange.

Interesting how you can open Finder on your iPad.
Re:Contact form encrypts message with PGP before sending on Sunday September 15, 2013 @09:47AM (#6389071)
Yeah, that's a point. Maybe i should really do that...
Re:Contact form encrypts message with PGP before sending on Sunday September 15, 2013 @09:45AM (#6389068)
Yes, that's true.
Re:Contact form encrypts message with PGP before sending on Sunday September 15, 2013 @09:44AM (#6389064)
They get sent right to trash! ;)
