Awesome work. SAR imagery is notoriously fickle, and it is amazing to see these results from a DIYer.

This is a helpful image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliosphere#/media/File:PIA170...

Agreed. The focal range is something like 90KM to 1400KM based on this image and other off nadir images that have been shared by DigitalGlobe/Maxar, and it really makes you wonder …

No. Countries of the world have been imaging each others satellites for decades. The only thing that has changed recently is that now companies can do this commercially in an uncla…

The sample distance (SSD) is noted on the GIF, and ranges between 6.5 and 4.6 cm for the images shown here.

I quite like the inclusion of the help needed section. I work for a publicly traded company so I don't know if it has much application for our size, but for a pre-IPO company it se…

The few comments that are in there are kinda funny too: > #fucking awful global variable that is is changed by the confirm() function of the pieces > #math shit > #i don't know wha…

Is this distinction why they are often called the Top 3, not the Big 3?

First, the word free is most frequently interpreted as not costing money, which in this case is completely true. Second, your comparison to a false claim by the NYT is absurd. All …

Is it really that hard to use a burner email?

What regulations do you suggest?

This varies greatly by area. The Denver/Boulder corridor has been exploding for the last 10 years and they can't build fast enough.

Are you talking about Boeing being complacent and greedy, or SpaceX? I'd agree with the former, but not the latter.

And many merchants either have this priced into their product already, or charge a fee to process a card.

Derp, yes I did mean Boeing. BO pulled out of commercial crew a while back. Thank you for the correction.

It's likely a very very small group, but I am certain there are some ultra high net worth members of HN that are SpaceX investors, either directly through family offices, or indire…

I'm wondering if NASA will change their plans for Mark Vande Hei to return on Dragon instead of Soyuz. His return is planned for later this month, so I suppose we'll know pretty so…

That is not true in all locations. They have delivery specialist reqs open right now. https://boards.greenhouse.io/peloton/jobs/3883515

I agree about UAE wanting to keep their cards close to the chest, but I think the choice between NSO/other third party hacking groups and developing in house is an AND statement, n…

> It sounds to me like the UAE made a decision to stop paying vast sums of money to the NSO group and started throwing money at trying to develop their own similar domestic capabil…

In addition to Darknet Diaries, there is a lot of interesting info in Nicole Perlroth's new book titled "This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends" https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/this…

Episode 100 is specifically about NSO and dives deeper into Pegasus. Highly recommended listening after episodes 98 and 99. https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/100/

I know its a minor inconvenience, but this is one of my biggest pet peeves with the whole OS. I wish there was a way to change the setting to actually control things with control c…
