The iPhone is really big in Japan (it's one of the few countries where it has a higher market share than in the US) which probably makes it more worthwhile for Apple

I did something similar where I left an old Android phone at home and logged in to what I think used to be messages.android.com (now google.com) from a laptop praying the session wouldn't get lost before I got back from my trip. :)

Lately though, SMS works over WiFi calling and usually if I need a real SMS where Google Voice won't cut it, it can wait for WiFi...

That's not the case for JPL missions (the paper originally is from JPL) which generally have 2 separate independent computers where 1 is active at a time.

Since they're independent, the 2 computers don't actually have to run the same software, I believe during Mars entry descent and landing the standby compute element runs a different less sophisticated but easier to validate version of the EDL code to take over if any fault is detected while the primary software is running. (I was going to do a quick check on dataverse.jpl.nasa.gov to confirm that but it seems to be down)

Also I think a few years ago on the Mars Curiosity rover (2012) there was some corruption in the flash storage on one of the computers that prevents the full flight software from being loaded on to it, so instead it runs a stripped-down version of the code with very limited functionality to function as a lifeboat in case the fully-working computer ever fails. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9843266

And Google made basically the opposite thing to embed Chrome within Internet Explorer for sites that wouldn't work in IE.

Juno and NetZero eventually merged but I’m pretty sure they started out totally separate (I used both back in the day)

No, but MySQL 8 does at least have atomic DDL now, as well as instant DDL for some cases (like adding a column).

Not to me, but it’s happened.

If you're insured, more likely than not you don't have a copay for general vaccines like flu shots; they're considered preventative care and most health care plans are required to cover them for free.

JPL has been managed by Caltech for NASA since 1958, but JPL actually predates the formation of NASA (and has always been managed by Caltech).

This post doesn't seem to mention the key and signature sizes, so from the paper abstract: "Targeting the post-quantum NIST-1 level of security, our implementation results in signatures of 204 bytes, secret keys of 16 bytes and public keys of 64 bytes."

Flagship multi-year science missions are generally conservative with technology choices, but some NASA projects are intended as technology demonstrations and can on take more risks.

So like the Perseverance rover on its way to Mars is powered by redundant RAD 750s (same as Curiosity), but the Ingenuity helicopter along for the ride is powered by a Snapdragon 801.

It will be interesting to see how it holds up.

I think you're referring to PAKE (password-authenticated key exchange). SRP (secure remote protocol) might be the Stanford proposal you're referring to, although it's actually fairly commonly implemented as far as PAKEs go (Apple for instance uses it for their iCloud Keychain).

Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on who you ask) NASA is very restricted in what it can do with China, so probably not. But NASA does utilize ESA's Trace Gas Orbiter in addition to their own Mars orbiters for relay operations.

The Perseverance mass is just for the rover, but there's a few other components that get it to Mars and on to the surface (the cruise stage, sky crane, etc).

I can't seem to find the Mars 2020 numbers but for MSL (which should be similar) the overall launch mass was 3839 kg of which 899kg was the Curiosity rover itself.

I believe the Chinese mission actually does have more mass overall - although the rover is a lot smaller, they're also sending a large orbiter and a landing platform to deliver the rover to the surface.

Aside from things like ansifilter you can add a ?style=bw parameter to remove the colors, e.g.

    $ curl cht.sh/ls?style=bw

I flew a United 787-9 recently and noticed an IR LED too, but I assumed it was a proximity sensor (when you bring your hands close to the bottom of the screen the home button, headphone jack, and USB charging port light up).

The cargo.toml file gives it away as a Rust project, so install Rust then

cargo build

to just compile, or

cargo run

to compile & run

In this case it’s more like a different set of Europeans saying “nope” - the Trace Gas Orbiter and the paper in Nature are both from Europe

And even if they didn’t ever manage to land on the moon, ESA did once land on a moon.

The first edition of ECMA-335 was published December 2001, so now almost two!

WSL is a continuation of the kernel ABI part of Project Astoria. Astoria also had lots of user mode code that made Android apps feel native.

I believe the Hyper-V based Android emulation is separate from Project Astoria and came later.

I'm pretty sure that's unrelated to the DNSSEC root key which is managed by IANA and not RIPE NCC. https://www.iana.org/dnssec

I'm guessing that's referring to signing the reverse DNS zones for their IP address allocations (193.in-addr.arpa for example) and it's just coincidentally timed with the DNSSEC root key rollover.

Looks like zstd has been added to the HTTP Content Coding Registry, see https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-parameters/http-parame...

(or section 6.2 of the linked RFC)

It looks like those are 3 separate third-party libraries (Mocha, Mustache, and Backbone), so each doing HTML escaping a bit differently shouldn't be too surprising.

It's implicit based on the appropriate method overload being present. In fact that's the way foreach loops and LINQ already work in C#, you don't actually need to implement IEnumerable or IQueryable to use them.

They've restricted it slightly: now you have to notify them at least 10 minutes before the flight. But still no penalties - I really hope they don't have to do away with that policy since that's the main thing I like about Southwest.

So basically you're pinning the server certificate chain into your signed client code? Actually that sounds like a good thing!

There's a YouTube link at the top of the page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gcu2GQf7PI&feature=youtu.be...

Independent of HPKP Chrome still does 2011-style static pinning AFAIK and just by looking at HTTP headers I don't think google.com even uses HPKP. Unlike HPKP which is trust-on-first-use, static pinning is enforced from the very start so if you have the ability to statically pin in the client (as you would if you're a browser vendor or distributing your own mobile app) you probably should.
