Hi HN, I made this as an experiment to see if a older style (PHPBB-alike) format would enhance readability of posts on Hacker News. To me the present style represents a discussion …

I have a different view than captured by your A-E options. 1) The climate, or really the whole earth, has some background rate of change, that itself changes over time. 2) On top o…

Hi HN, I'm the founder of AgMaps ( https://agmaps.us ) -- simple and fast drone mapping software for Agriculture. Map 160 acres in as little as 15 minutes on your iPad while the dr…

I read that part the same way; for standard remote ID drones, transmission over internet to a USS should be made if possible, but as long as the drone can continue an ADS-B like (b…

Key word being "on linux". On the other 99.9% of devices, I have no such choice and the filesystem required by the OS simply presents a layer of incompatibility. Modern OSs all run…

Absolutely. SSDs have gone from 100+MB/s random (already a huge improvement over the spinning rust of the time) to maxing out PCIe x4. Over the same timeline, what have filesystems…

Would be interesting if this evolves into a full filesystem implementation in hardware (they talk about Object Drive but aren't focused on that yet). Some interesting future possib…

I can't speak for others, but while this is true in aggregate, I'm not personally willing to stake my life on a system that can, on a 1-in-a-million event and with no warning, acce…
