Damn... I was hoping to read more about ships that could spot satellites :)


Most modern military vessels could spot them, but typically the air warning radar has its filters configured such that satellites are excluded (as they are not interesting targets for most naval vessels). This also heavily depends on the exact orbit of course. Low orbit satellites like starlink are quite below the maximum altitude from ballistic missiles, geostationary orbit is usually too far away to still detect within the unambiguous range of the radar system.


How about RTL-SDR detecting SAR signal?

I just wonder how many SAR sats we don't know about.


Won't work with a regular RTL-SDR.

Most SAR systems operate in X-Band (~10 Ghz). I guess it's fair to assume that every organization who has ever sent anything to space has also launched SAR satellites. The radar part is comparatively easy to getting things into orbit.


I wonder if they are planning to get ads, there is little reason to collect behaviour data for anything else.


I think one of the largest problems they will face is their consumer not having the same culture as them, and what worked wonderfully for them failing in other orgs.


It depends how you define successful. I work in a large org, and it work well for governance, and as a console, but it has its limitation. Pushing too many plugins on it makes management of the console hard


Do you plan to have on prem usage (if not cost ) in the future?

Also what about utilisation rates ?


Usage is what we track directly, and then we apply the cloud provider's billing rules for the given service (e.g. S3) to calculate the resulting costs. So utilization rates for something like a Kubernetes cluster are easy to derive with the data already collected - just take the usage we've tracked and divide by the total resources available to the cluster. We haven't finished the k8s offering yet, but this would be a great feature / view for us to include (the same goes for most other compute offerings, e.g. EC2, ECS).

The same goes for on prem. We don't have any on prem customers currently, but it would be easy to add a feature where you input the total capacity and/or monthly cost of your on prem infrastructure, and use the collected usage data to calculate utilization rate and "effective cost" incurred by each feature, customer, etc. Thanks for the questions!


on a lighter note.. you meant "Expect AI pushed into everything and the kitchen sink" right? :)


Everything and the kitchen sink doesn't make sense, because everything already includes the kitchen sink.


You see that a lot, but the actual idiom is with but, look it up.


The idiom is with “but,” but I think the joke is it’s going to be so pervasive that it’ll definitely be included in sinks too. There are already smart sinks so it’s pretty much inevitable.


I agree with most things here... other than the choice of dark mode for slides :)


Note: Post is from 2020


The only thing that has changed is more stuff has been deprecated. I got an email from Google only last week that something in Analytics is changing (don't care - I stopped using it ages ago when it broke because of some earlier deprecation).


What is a good safe way to take a backup of your vault?


Safety is in your hands but the bitwarden client allows you to export your vault https://bitwarden.com/help/export-your-data/


(which also allows for encrypted exports https://bitwarden.com/help/encrypted-export/ )


20 cents per install is crazy.

Mobile games are already a risky business with success hard to come by. Marketing costs for games has already gone up due to due to ATT.

They are doing the classic chase current revenue while destroying future revenue thing
