I don’t know much about GPS jamming, but I know a fair bit about how airliners navigate. GPS is usually not used for final approach, which is typically either visual or ILS (a radio signal transmitted from the ground). This in contrast to the earlier stages of approach which may use GPS depending on the airport and the specific approach in use. If you can keep the jamming signal contained to the immediate airport vicinity and a few thousand feet above, there should be little or no impact on (non-drone) aircraft navigation.
There are many more airports that have an RNAV GPS/GNSS approach procedure, than ILS. ILS requires expensive ground equipment, and fairly low obstruction clearance for miles surrounding the airport. I expect RNAV GNSS is used with some frequency at even big airports like Gatwick, on days when conditions don't require ILS in particular when the ILS is out of service for planned maintenance.
I received this mail from Namecheap today with the subject line "Important: Potential Internet Access Issues".
Apart from the weirdly misleading subject line, the advice in the mail is really misguided IMO. If your ISP fails to update their trust anchor, disabling DNSSEC entirely for your domain will indeed let you access it again, but it won't do anything for other sites that you can't access, and it rather defeats the purpose of enabling DNSSEC in the first place if your first troubleshooting step is to turn it off again.
This is the best guarantee any company ever gives.
For smaller companies if something becomes too expensive or hard, they just go out of business. For larger companies, they have to draw the line somewhere. You won't get stronger guarantees from anyone, that would be insane.
Google definitely has a history of turning down free services when they're proving unprofitable, but that's only free services. There's no history of Google turning down paid services without good notice that I know of.
Many of the products Google has already shut down would easily have passed a reasonable good faith judgement that they were too expensive to keep running. I don't see how this would be any different. I know that "reasonable good faith" is a legal term of art, and I'm saying that I don't think Google would struggle to meet that standard if they needed to shut one of these services down.
"Many of the products Google has already shut down would easily have passed a reasonable good faith judgement that they were too expensive to keep running."
That isn't the standard listed.
It's "substantial economic burden".
None of those services were a substantial economic burden for a many-billion dollar company, so sorry, but i completely disagree.
Chances are, a smartphone isn't going to give you the DoF you want (except by "faking it" using post-processing). There's a direct relationship between aperture for a given focal length and the front diameter of the lens. With a tiny lens and a low f-number, you're going to have a small focal length and therefore a wide DoF.
On a single project, I agree. But each time I start a new pet/side project I like to use a different stack. It's a good motivation to learn new technologies, and you learn more about them by using them "in anger" than you do in a purely theoretical environment.
I know several people that are dual citizens of China and US. China doesn't recognise the second citizenship, but that doesn't prevent you having it. If China finds out, though, they'll apparently strip you of your Chinese citizenship.
Travel between US/CN will be a hassle for those people because the border control officials of China won't let you board the flight if you show your CN passport doesn't have US visa. One loophole is that you can use Hong Kong as the middle hop since you don't need passport to visit HK.
The dual citizen status is actually very common. If a child's parents are Chinese citizen working/studying in US with a temporary visa (H1b, F1) and the child was born in US, the child is eligible to be a Chinese citizen, thus a dual citizenship.
