tzakrajs··on AWS Ground Station – Ingest and Process Data from Orbiting Satellites
There is a fairly narrow cone you would need to be in to intercept the data but if its intelligence related then it’s definitely encrypted thanks to export laws. ITAR and EAR https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/policy-guidance/encryption

I could imagine companies like Planet using this for more points of presence. You only get tiny windows of time to download bits from satellites to ground stations and you have limited storage capacity. Additional ground sites could really help companies get more data out of fewer craft.
tzakrajs··on Facebook reportedly discredited critics by linking them to George Soros
Ben Shapiro’s facile arguments appeal mostly to younger, inexperienced politic fans and the right needs all of the youthful fervor they can muster. I am sure this has something to do with their embracing of Shapiro. He has followers.

Actually, the way we gain quorum on what is better for the laymen is an incredibly political subject.
tzakrajs··on Alex Stamos: Asking tech companies to police hate speech is “a dangerous path”
Cockroaches are also hardy and reproduce at an incredible rate. We've seen some cockroaches like white nationalism, that would've atrophied as demographics change, spread more rapidly. We now have a solution for a problem that we wouldn't need without the solution. Great.

Exoskeleton that walks with a pseudo-random gait.
tzakrajs··on Apple CEO Tim Cook Calling for Bloomberg to Retract Its Chinese Spy Chip Story
What damages the company more is leadership that lies about or covers up hard truths they are ethically and legally obligated to share. That would be more damning than a breach.
tzakrajs··on The World Is Built on Probability (1988)
Cipher text can look a lot like randomness to the uninformed observer. If a deterministic system produces results, but the observer cannot model the underlying process from the results, are those results now random?
tzakrajs··on I was wrong about veganism. Let them eat meat – but farm it properly (2010)
Slaughtering pigs on a specific diet somehow makes for a clean conscience? Maybe in once sense of the word.
tzakrajs··on The high-risk, high-reward world of selling random stuff on Amazon
People who drop ship stuff and/or resell bulk inventory for chinese manufacturers act as conduits for copycat and/or counterfeit merchanidise.

tzakrajs··on Amazon is stuffing its search results pages with ads
I have a very similar story with ordering Salbakos towels. I reorder them every so often to keep my linens fresh. However, one of the last reorders was delivered with a completely different brand of towels and they didn't even match the pattern of the Salbakos towels. It's so frustrating.
tzakrajs··on Federal chokehold on marijuana stymies studies on epilepsy, autism
Civil disobedience surely looks stupid through the lens of the oppressor, but perhaps someone with the ability and connections will sacrifice their livelihood to show us how we as a society are sacrificing ours.

Good luck finding someone in these progressive bastions willing to arrest you.

tzakrajs··on Google wants websites to adopt AMP as the default for building webpages
AMP exists, primarily, because content publishers cannot afford to have the points of presence that Google has (e.g. Google Global Cache, Google Data Centers). The residential ISP oligopoly makes it so that only big players (e.g. Netflix, Google) who can peer directly with the ISPs get sufficient bandwidth to compete at a reasonable price. Everyone else gets to pay the premium to the middlemen (e.g. Akamai, Level 3) or bend the knee to Google for their market access via AMP. Publishers also must be competitive on the biggest search engine in town and the enhanced page ranking of AMP articles probably forces the issue for most.

AMP is a practice in anti-competitive moat building that net-neutrality enforcement would obviate.
