Fire protection mess ... was a symptom. The root cause was that the local governments (city of Berlin and state of Brandenburg) wanted to split the pie for many small to medium businesses in the region. Noble idea but hard to execute as we found out later... So instead of giving it all to a contractor that actually knows how to build (large) airports they tried to managed it themself. Those people were unexperienced in this size of operation and it went all downhill from there. It's a common theme with big projects: Local administration is unexperienced but tries to do it anyway and they fail or get ripped off every time. What we should have is a federal unit that just does large scale construction/engineering projects.


>Other tools try to recover structure from text; Unison stores code in a database

Just like VisualAge in the last century. Sign me up, that was great stuff.


Smalltalk had a lot of good ideas!


I loved it, except that it seemed to periodically corrupt the source code database which was an absolute nightmare.


Amazing how cynical one can be. Proof-of-work cryptocurrencies are super polluters and need to go.


Microsofts own CVSS score says 'attack complexity' is low.

Both can be true; BSOD is trivial, RCE can be very hard.


DevLids.com is a gallery of stickered laptops from tech/design/science-related fields.


I disagree: Most ACCs have exactly the same limitation.


This is an artefact of the sensors (radar) used. Since resolution and processing is insufficent right now, everything that is stationary is ignored.

I have a recent BMW with ACC that shows the same behaviour.

It's not an ultra rare event (I experience it roughly once every other day) and it's also not a problem as a driver.

Also with ACC: Just swerve right and ACC will happily crash you into any other stationary object like a lamp post or a wall.


5G is pretty much undefined right now so an aggressive OpCo is abusing the label (again).

With that timeline this is LTE Advanced which is 1Gbit at best.

And this is a horrible article void of facts just reproducing some hype a verizon bigwig uttered. BGR|CNET, no thanks.

What's the issue with comcast (with respect to these videos?)


Yes - please elaborate as to how access is different coming from comcast ?


On Comcast. Can't see anything either.


On Youtube you can watch the videos in HTML5 and 1.25/1.5/2.0x speed.
