If you know computer is getting garbage data / plane acting in an unusual way, you can dial things back. These planes and their engines are so reliable and maintenance is usually so good that it seems you could fall back to closer to direct law flying (power setting / pitch / etc) and at least keep plane out of the drink / gain some altitude.

There is a lot of python 2 code still out there - including with some big players.

Critical security issues if any will still likely see patches.

Anyone from a big python 2 org able to comment? Is everyone migrating all code?

!SFO 06/079 SFO OBST RIG (ASN 2017-AWP-3368-NRA) 373740N1222224W (0.5NM NE SFO) 41FT (34FT AGL) FLAGGED AND LGTD 1806201400-1811010100

This is a flagged and lighted obstruction half a mile way that is 34 feet above ground level.

Now put in a full route and takeoff airport and maybe if you have had some stops during the day. The NOTAM seems a bit long. Then if are overseas and have to deal with the BS political notams. Check out greece and turkey notams.

...THE REF (B) TURKISH NOTAM A3009/16 LTAAYNYX (111139 EUECYIYN JUL 2016) HAS NO GROUND, CANNOT PRODUCE ANY INTERNATIONALLY LEGAL EFFECT WITHIN ATHINAI FIR/ HELLAS UIR AND IS CONSIDERED NULL AND VOID.

I'm curious how many pilots fully read all NOTAMs, locate them geographically to understand where they are etc etc on every flight.

I'm convinced their promo videos are shot by teams carrying tons of batteries. If you are actually adventuring / backpacking for a few days etc, a go-pro is no go unless you want to be worrying about battery life the entire time.

The majority of complex applications being built today are being built to be IPv4 accessible and may even be using IPv4.

You can use 17 million private addresses + buy plenty of public IPv4 addresses.

AWS and Google are both building major clouds that are both complex and STILL heavily IPv4 oriented (I and others pinging them to add IPv6 for a long time).

They throw in an IPv4 for every running instance and even their elastic IPv4's are cheap if attached to an instance.

I wish the IPv6 promotion pieces would include that because when I read news articles about this (or someone tells me there are no more IPv4 addresses) they always include this statement that you can't get IPv4 addresses anymore and so things like new services can only use IPv6.

I don't even need to prevent printing etc.

I'd also love a setting, email over 1 year old, you have to jump through some extra hoops to access it.

This is a similar style I believe to the Oracle licensing model which used to prevent similar stuff I think.

Building your stuff on a platform (proprietary) with this attitude towards licensing... I'd say run away... fast.

With AWS a region has more than one availability zone.

aws ec2 describe-availability-zones --region ap-south-1 for example shows two datacenters in mumbai.

Across physical site security, to power to network to just hard drive and system decommissioning, more than 6 staff.

I wonder if this is partly why AWS has done so well. I've used colo and hosted providers who do seem to have basically no one actually on site.

Looking forward to some hopefully differentiated features.

I was looking to see if a truecrypt alternative might exist that worked better.

Also on a macbook air with boot camp.
