I've been trying to find out what communication protocols are being used between the rover and helicopter. I've seen on Wikipedia that it's supposedly Zigbee, but the source material referenced doesn't mention Zigbee. Does anyone know how this is working?


Wikipedia links to this (search for "Zig-Bee"): https://rotorcraft.arc.nasa.gov/Publications/files/Balaram_A...


My home network is running a VPN I can access from my phone & computers while away. The home network includes a PiHole that is running DNSCrypt (DNS over HTTPS) with Cloudflare's DNS service.

Edit: so ultimately, you'd be trusting whoever's on DNSCrypt's resolvers list. Better than trusting Comcast, in my situation.


It's not a secret -- quite often they will tell you exactly why they're checking your receipt: to make sure "the checker didn't miss anything or overcharge" and "that you got your movie tickets/food/etc".


Yes, because the reasons companies tell you they do something is always the truth.


Can you work as a contractor? Generally, you shouldn't have to provide a background check if you're just contracting your services.


Not a Trump supporter, but I don't see why he shouldn't. Apple probably wasn't going to do this unless that tax deal (or something similar) went through.


This is really great. It reminds me of NSOperationQueue on iOS. I think a cool next step would be to add dependencies -- ie have Futures wait to execute until dependent Futures have completed/succeeded.


Pretty much what jrs95 said. If I understand the question correctly, `Future.all` and `Future.race` address exactly this case.

I don't think I get what you mean exactly. How is this different from wrapping all the dependencies in a single promise and starting the dependent one when they're all finished?


I wouldn't blame this on engineers -- they aren't necessarily the ones making the (albeit very attractive) business decision to use one codebase for multiple platforms.


He didn't really blame the engineers. He blamed the engineering. Unless you were just saying your statement and not implying he blamed engineers.


It's a bit further South than most people want to live, but San Jose is currently doing this.


Why are Deploy Boards being restricted to EEP customers? I would love access to that, but I don't need the support and geo-replication (and 5x cost increase) that comes with EEP.
