Why is it not a mesh? There are fundamental differences between normal and mesh networks in the ways they route packets, and I think this is still a mesh network.

That should be fine. If it's part of every modem/gateway router, there should be so much bandwidth it doesn't matter. Standard QoS techniques can apply - don't allow someone to take it all when there are more people who want bandwidth.

I'm talking about creating a single mesh network, not a Wifi-like situation with many networks on the same bands.

Because the business/sales/marketing people around me actually bring value and I can't do it myself without them.

Let's start with the technology, then it can be used to argue for legal changes.

Why is it a pipe dream? It could also be something like roaming (in foreign countries), whatever - just a community mobile network that anyone can join.

What about a SIP phone? You can get a number cheaply from a cloud operator, and it can call over the internet for free.

Ideally, don't start from scratch, use as much industry standard software as humanly possible. For example, check the headless UI libraries in React ecosystem.

Is it possible to create a mesh 5G network run by volunteers supplying their connectivity, thus remove the need for mobile network operators?

Every company I ever worked for had a "any changes are permitted, refusing means quitting" clause.

I got the idea from my personal experience where I never was able to refuse what they told me. I'm not saying no contracts, I'm saying that refusing the change means I quit myself, and so no protection.

Many people like to decide for themselves and then trash the product/company when it doesn't work - especially in the Apple ecosystem where they sort of guarantee the user experience will be good. While I also like to decide for myself, I understand why Apple would decide for themselves they don't want to risk that.

This isn't the case even in EU, much less in US where they often don't sign any employment contract.

He didn't, he donated much less than he had msft stock

Seems like an accurate set of experiences of a 10-20 years long career.

It's really not a short hop at all, it's a total opposite of the whole concept of "we're looking for ways to help the people with ASD".

He can't lead any kind of normal life, no amount of professional help or supervision will change that, he doesn't have any rational experience of the world around him. His usual day is filled with running around the room, bumping into walls while screaming. As he becomes an adult, he more frequently needs to be tied down to the bed (done by professional psychiatrists at a hospital). He never has a moment of lucidity, you can't talk to him about anything; he understands speech and can talk, but it's phrases like "NEED PEE NOOOOOOOOOW" screamed at the top of his lungs, and not much else. Then you need to drag him there while he fights you, he doesn't understand you're trying to fulfill his request. The more pressing the matter, the more will he fight everything and everyone around; of course that also means that the pee or feces usually end up outside the toilet, so he's wearing a diaper. He has preferences for toys and children's cartoons, but the only way he makes others aware of that is that it calms him down, he never said something such as "I like X" and from brain imaging results the doctors don't think he has thoughts like that, as his brain is permanently so overstimulated he's constantly in flight-or-fight instinctive mode. Which is good, actually - it means that if this overstimulation could be somehow lessened, he actually might become capable of having something resembling a normal life.

So, the help I said he needs is the researchers to keep looking for ways to decrease the impact of his autism, instead of listening to people saying stuff like "autism doesn't need to be cured".

Eh, what? I'm suggesting he needs help.

> And in that some people have autism don't view it as something that needs to be cured.

Please, don't conflate these people with the other end of the spectrum, where those suffering are absolutely unable to live any kind of life at all. I have a friend who has an autistic son. The autism makes him a 5-year old hyperactive child in a 20-year old body. He needs help.

No, not really. Gates is less rich because he sold his MSFT, while Ballmer kept it. This had much more significant impact than all of his philanthropy.

Express-style, because it's very easy to work with my response asynchronously (before returning from my handler function) - e.g. respond with 200 immediately and then process the received data, or stream my response during processing.

It's not meant to put them out of business, it's meant to show them that actions have consequences and to improve. FAA generally appreciates what SpaceX does.

As soon as we get some. Main metrics of usefulness would be survival rate in hard vacuum, cosmic radiation and absolutely minimal or extreme temperatures - divided by volume, weight, price and energy requirements - and further by the useful work it can do per unit of time.

In conclusion, not any time soon. Humans will return to the Moon only when we accept that our presence there is purely symbolic/for the cool factor, and decide to eat the enormous price tag.

A petition supported by 0.06% of the population... Doesn't seem like it's popular... They're also mixing together income and wealth taxes.

Putting it on a $10 VPS means it costs $10 whatever happens. How to limit spend like this on static storage providers?

Adyen didn't even reply to my registration. Stripe didn't need to reply, I did it myself without anyone involved. My own modest revenue won't change the balance sheet, but I know quite a lot of people with the same story... No wonder.

Do you seriously think many people are not trading in their super expensive phones? I don't know anyone who doesn't...

That really wasn't new. The Imperial Senate of the HRE was assigning rulers to fiefdoms also based on locality.

Normally, people assume you use Windows, so it makes sense to mention you're on Mac. I see Linux people doing the same all the time.

I see it the other way. 10% chance that the Craitoshi fork of BTC becomes mainstream.
