This seems to be run by TRADOC, the US Army's TRaining And DOCterine Command.
I assume that it is intended to facilitate the Army's Land Navigation (LANDNAV) training for Soldiers. MGRS is the standard format for all US Army maps.
I *can not* count the number of times I've been reading something I want to be reading in a perfect environment, only to have to re-read pages because while I was mechanically reading, my brain was somewhere else entirely. It's usually when I go to turn/click to the next page that I realize I have no idea what I just read.
I think the benefit of the ICMP testing is to develop a baseline of the network performance characteristics, making it easier to determine what impact various TCP features are having in higher level application/protocol tests.
Theoretically it is possible to do route between arbitrary endpoints, and I think I read a while ago that there was work on this. How well this works for any two terminals that are not on the same satellite depends on the efficiency of routing packets between satellites. I would assume that creating efficient routing paths between dynamic customer terminals and fixed aggregation points makes it easier to provide fairly consistent network performance than building dynamic, rapidly changing paths between arbitrary end points.
There's a further "mini" coming further this year. Not much information other than rough size (approx 10x12"), should "fit in a backpack".
I don't have Twitter direct links off hand but @olegkutkov has found some internals in the firmware (among other stuff) that shows some of the antenna configs and such and it's interesting to see that they're going to be doing a lot with very little, hardware wise, in such a small size.
Starlink blows me away as a concept that you can now walk into a brick and mortar store in some cases, plonk down $600, go to the absolute middle of nowhere with power, plug this weird little rectangle in, sign up (because you can get to starlink.com on a deactivated unit in a walled garden), and get online and pull hundreds of Mbps out of thin air.
I think this has more to do with workers who are only interested in doing the least amount of work they can get away with.
Even highly motivated workers are going to have off days that are less productive, but the average level of output will be higher.
Low performing / marginal workers, in my experience, tend to do their best work when they feel like they are being observed. Providing that sort of motivation is more difficult when they are remote.
I got the you can't use an adblocker message, but was able to close and/or reload the page to watch videos without ads. After a week or so it stopped popping up.
That's the way I generally understand ownership to work in this context.
I should have the authority to make decisions about how to execute a project I'm given (or take) responsibility of.
In the context of "Servant Leadership," how well I execute the task should inform my manager's response. If it is not done correctly/well, I should get the feedback needed to ensure I don't repeat those mistakes. Future work assignments should be adjusted based on how "wrong" my work was. Maybe the project was too complex, and I should be given a more limited scope for the next one, or maybe being shown the corrections is sufficient to trust me with the same level of work next time.
There are several things that make this difficult. Much of the difficulty relates to the device changing it's network address. Seamless transition requires that the application can:
- Find the new address; i.e. Cell provider vs. Residential/Business ISP
- Associate the new address with the same flow
- Duplicate packets and reassemble them, or change to "better" path interface.
On both android and iOS, a regular app can't choose to send packets over both 5G and wifi at the same time. Thats needed to setup a new connection while still using the old one.
