They're working on the details for that one, the legislator seems OK with it, but as long as the drones aren't pointed at them.

You realize that the Wise and Venerable Legislators are OK with drone strikes against foreign countries right?
The main problem I have with QNX is with QSSL (now Blackberry). The royalties for QNX have always been high, and has made it tough for me to convince management to use it in projects. The technology is fantastic though.
I sure do miss Jef
He would occasionally show up at SVFIG (Silicon Valley Forth Interest Group), and we've all had fun chats with him.
I'd use all of the parts of Plan 9, then stop there.
Thanks for the translation, it was all Greek to me!
So the consensus so far is that my IPv6 address shouldn't be my GPS coordinates?
Thanks for proving my point, in a round about way.
I fail to see the problem.
What should my IPv6 address be when I'm using a satellite link from my RV ?
I currently have a web radio transceiver front panel application that works on Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android, Amazon Kindle Fire, under Chrome, Firefox, or Opera. No porting, no software installation. See blog.algoram.com for details of what I'm writing.
The one unsupported popular platform? iOS, because Safari doesn't have the function used to acquire the microphone in the web audio API (and perhaps doesn't have other parts of that API), and Apple insists on handicapping other browsers by forcing them to use Apple's rendering engine.
I don't have any answer other than "don't buy iOS until they fix it".
Increasing the community sounds all well and good, but I would prefer a quality community over a quantity community. Some of those GPL folks are real wing nuts.
Super Dracos are for escape in flight too, including in and past MaxQ. But they are on Crew Dragon, not Cargo Dragon. Cargo Dragon did not carry a crew and wasn't programmed to save itself.
Most of us do have a need to transmit messages privately. Do you not make any online purchases?
Yes, but those have to use public-key encryption. I am sure of my one-time-pad encryption because it's just exclusive-OR with the data, and I am sure that my diode noise is really random and there is no way for anyone else to predict or duplicate it. I can not extend the same degree of surety to public-key encryption. The software is complex, the math is hard to understand, and it all depends on the assumption that some algorithms are difficult to reverse - which might not be true.
Most algorithms to do this use the time between keypresses, measured to very high precision so that the lower bits are chaotic. So it doesn't really matter what keys you hit, and it doesn't matter how rythmic your typing is.
