![]() Lynk Global’s initial offering, which it predicts will be available in late 2022, is narrowband-meaning limited voice calls, texting, and Internet of Things (IoT) traffic. It is unlikely that a satellite-smartphone connection would work well when the handset is inside a building, for example. The typical distance from a phone to an LEO satellite might be 500 kilometers, at least two orders of magnitude more than typical signal-transmission distances in urban settings, so the dispersion of the phone’s power would be at least eight times greater, and would be further complicated by the phone’s orientation. On the other hand are going to satellite-based systems with very wide coverage.” -Derek Long, Cambridge Consultants ![]() On the one hand, small cells are replacing Wi-Fi. However, receiving info would be even more challenging since the smartphone antennas usually disperse their energy in all directions.” “Sending signals to smartphones outdoors could be feasible by using low Earth orbit satellites with sizable antennas in the sky. “The main challenge is the link budget,” says electrical engineer Symeon Chatzinotas of the University of Luxembourg, referring to the amount of power required to transmit and receive data between satellites and connected devices. Space-based cell service would not require special equipment, making it a potential candidate for rural broadband funds if companies can develop solutions to the many challenges that face satellite-based smartphone service. Federal Communications Commission just rejected SpaceX’s application for some of the US $9 billion federal rural broadband fund-in part because the Starlink system requires a $600 ground station. ![]() LEO satellite systems such as SpaceX’s Starlink and Amazon’s Kuiper envision huge constellations of satellites. Inmarsat and other companies are working on their own low Earth orbit (LEO) cellular solutions as launch prices drop, satellite fabrication methods improve, and telecoms engineers push new network capabilities. In April, Lynk Global launched the first direct-to-mobile commercial satellite, and on 15 August a competitor, AST SpaceMobile, confirmed plans to launch an experimental direct-to-mobile satellite of its own in mid-September. The next generation of cellphone networks won’t just be 5G or 6G-they will be zero g.

![]() I want that the nodes run and run and run with high CPU load. On the XU4Q a sudo apt install openjdk-11-jre-headless does the job. For older Raspberry Pis on their Zulu Community Downloads page choose "Java 11 (LTS)", "Linux", "ARM 32-bit HF" and "JDK" as filters. For the Windows tablet and the Raspberry Pi 2 I downloaded it from Azul. But it uses heterogenous hardware, isn't centrally managed, every node can operate independently, and I will write the software so that it doesn't trust the nodes - let's call it a grid. It will use my (W)LAN and not the internet - that's an argument for a cluster. What to do with 16 CPU cores? Use them for experiments with grid computing! But an old Windows tablet and a Raspberry Pi 2 were laying unused in my shelf. I bought it when I saw that it had a special price in Hardkernels shop. I think there's a lot of headache due to "armchair lawyers" not understanding the nuances of the law or the LICENSE as it pertains to the software image and misapplying their incorrect assumptions.That nice XU4Q on the picture above was not waiting in a shelf. People are free to modify their GPL software. Nothing in my license takes away existing GPL licenses. Just because I have a custom license and not a boilerplate GPL or MIT license keeps it from being open source. And my source code is open for inspection. It negates the six months of time I took to build the image and discourages me from sharing in the future. But to take the choice away from me as the author of the creation is to strip away my rights that I worked hard for. So if they approached me with a good reason to disable it, I would grant that request. If people have issues running BOINC, I'm not such an unreasonable person that if they approached me directly that i wouldn't force them to run it. What I wonder about is how petty a person can get that would complain about such a small thing? And if they choose not to send the postcard? Well, the nag dialog isn't going to prevent them from using the image. I don't think asking for a postcard to remove a nag dialog is out of the question. I think there's a lot of headache due to "armchair lawyers" not understanding the nuances of the law or the LICENSE as it pertains to the software image and misapplying their incorrect assumptions. ![]() On Thu, at 02:57 PM, thegadget techie wrote: some implied remuneration herein ![]() Pros: Sturdy, stain-resistant, magnetic seal, adjustable closure, easy to cleanĬons: Still need some sort of cooling agent to keep things truly cold, perhaps price (but again, how many $20 lunch bags might you buy in a lifetime?)

It’s time for Niantic to realize they’re changing the wrong features and heading in the wrong direction. Users in Pokmon GO explore the real world around them in an attempt to catch em all. However, the game had 147 million active users in May 2018 11. But they’re providing a platform for one of the most successful franchises in the world. The Pokmon Go game was a massive hit in the summer of 2016 and has lost many players since. If Niantic were handling its own IP, this conversation would look different. These goals are great on paper, but Pokemon Go has outgrown them.

This was followed by Kanto Tour at the start of 2021, arguably one of the greatest events in its history. GO Fest 2020 was also the first year the city-exclusive event went global, and players were more than willing to pay $15 for a ticket with all of the active bonuses. These changes also meant that rural players could enjoy Pokemon Go easier than they could before the global health crisis. You couldn’t go out and explore, but players were more than willing to spend money to play where they were at. Incense was changed so a new Pokemon appeared every minute keeping players engaged. Remote Raid Passes ($1 a pop) allowed players to join group battles from across the world. But more importantly, these changes incentivized players to purchase items from the in-game shop.

How do you define Active Risk Management?Īctive Investment Risk Management uses tactics and systems to actively make decisions to decrease or increase exposure to the potential for loss. It’s the exposure that is the risk, the chance or possibility is always there. So, risk is the exposure to a chance or possibility of loss. Uncertainty is something we live with every day and in all things, so we may as well embrace it and enjoy not knowing the outcome of things in advance. Some people believe that uncertainty is a risk, but we always have uncertainty. If we incur a loss, that isn’t a risk, that’s an actual loss. I believe when we are speaking of money, risk is the exposure to the possibility of loss. I often call it “active risk management” because many people in the investment industry claim they “manage risk”, but they don’t actively direct and control their exposure to loss (the risk). There is nothing passive about managing risk. ![]() We must first identify the risk: “what is a risk”. To measure risk is to determine “how much” risk it is. To measure is to quantify a dimension or capacity or amount as ascertained by comparison with a standard. The problem with that definition is it doesn’t draw a clear distinction between risk “measurement” and risk “management”. Essentially, risk management occurs anytime an investor or fund manager analyzes and attempts to quantify the potential for losses in an investment and then takes the appropriate action (or inaction) given their investment objectives and risk tolerance.” ” the process of identification, analysis and either acceptance or mitigation of uncertainty in investment decision-making. ![]() Risk management is defined by Investopedia as: There are many ways to actively manage risk, including setting predetermined exits (stop loss), using derivates with a limited downside, or hedging. “You cannot manage outcomes, you can only manage risks.” – Peter Bernstein Active Risk Management is the process of actively attempting to direct and control the possibility of loss in an investment portfolio. ![]() Bullets have damage multipliers that aren't shown in game, making the in-game gun damage info inaccurate.Oblivion Ampoule (only one exists per playthrough) will allow you to fully reset and redistribute your Characteristics, Skills and Abilities.They are also affected by consumables and equipment.

The Cadet however doesn't know the exact location of the bunker, only it's approximate location near the post - war village of Otradnoye. The agents know that General Morozov's expedition was sent to explore and study Bunker 317, a mysterious pre-war facility. The Cadet was one of the chosen few to carry out this task. And recently one of these expeditions led by General Morozov lost contact with ATOM HQ.ĭue to the isolated nature of the organization, every member is considered to be a valuable asset, and as such the standard procedure in these scenarios is to send up to 3 ATOM agents to conduct an investigation. It's why ATOM regularly sends search expeditions to the Wasteland. The main task of ATOM's organization, the protagonist is part of, is the collection, restoration and re-introduction of old and new technologies, with the main goal of returning to a pre- war standard of living. ![]() Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “estimate,” “expect,” “will,” and similar references to future periods.
