I didn't bother to check but if it's like SkyGrabber it works that way:
Internet via satellite is just like a big local network, when you request data it get sent in space unencrypted, you only have to read it...
So you basically download what other people are downloading without any way to control what to download except with filters that filter text, css, jpg, small files... since this is most of what people get (browsing the net...).
Looks to me he used a bunch of buzzwords followed by a humble brag.
In reality it isn't so weird for a leader to know about quantum physics, like if you asked Angela Merkel I bet she will actually explain the concept. So I don't get all this hype.
You could say the same about the Arab spring, that starter in Tunisia which is smaller country and lead to several other countries taking down the reign. It was about the message: "Even if a dictator stayed decades ruling you can take him down".
And again there was the opposite message from Syria: "The reign can bomb you, and also call their allies to bomb you".
It was like a domino, leader falling after leader until Assad didn't. And no one did after.
If you found that you could do the same thing on a classic installation people will be like. So what? and an electrician wouldn't even be excited to try it.
But since hacking is cool, we like this stuff.
Weird thing also is that using WiFi years ago was basically giving your data, when SSL websites where so rare. And we didn't even cared for it...
From how Zynga HQ looks, that HQ would cost them a really lot of costs.
In my opinion, the problem with Zynga was the social games bubble, years ago I used to read on tech news websites that Zynga is really big to the point that Facebook own 25% of its revenue to Zynga, Facebook was just started monetizing their business. Sometimes you shouldn't "look big" as much as others expect you to be.
Stallman was asking to not put any kind of his pictures on Facebook, which means your face is recognized now by Facebook, and there's plenty of things to do with that...
Years ago I was like Richard Stallman is totally crazy!, saying stuff like don't post my pictures on Facebook and such. Today his fear is really really justifiable...
The first rule on the tech startups field is to not make "quality products", simply because you can't afford it. Then to claim you are making "quality products" because you can't afford not saying it.
I was stuck with "making perfect projects" for long and got no profit from it, now I do both, I work simultaneously (I'm a NEET so a lot of time in hand) on one "perfect" with vanilla code and the other with a framework and any library I see online. The result is I finish several "non-perfect" projects and the one I'm working on almost finished and took me 2 months, the "perfect" project is taking me 3 years so far.
It's a balance for me between joy and the need of money, and from my experience if you want to make some money just forget the "making quality products" BS and deal with it as a meme, Ayy LMAO.
This. When smartphone first come up I was like I will wait until they get improved and calling some will get easier just as on my regular phone, years later and calling people and doing regular phone things becoming harder and harder.
This post is basically saying "the simpler way is what I think is the simpler way", while in reality everyone see a way simpler then other.
Since it doesn't hurt the performance there's no need to advice a way over another, the first way that come up on your head is the simpler for you. Go ahead and finish your project fast mate.
I recently launched CloudyBox and I would be tankful if I got from you any feedback. Also I'm here to answer any question...
