At 64 Robots we are aware that every piece of information and communication technology that is procured, maintained, developed or used by Federal agencies must be Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 compliant.

Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers to information and communication technologies, make opportunities available for persons with disabilities, and encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals.

Let us show you some of the things we do to take care of this in CitySite.

Back in 2018 my wife and I decided to move to an old house, located in the countryside and 5 minutes walk from the town, that previously belonged to my grandma. When she passed away it was inherited by my mom who hadn’t have an interest in moving there. We asked for a mortgage so we could do a renovation from the ground up.

The only missing part was the internet. As you might notice looking at the roof, we had to put a WiMAX antenna for getting internet. Spoiler: it sucks.

Working in a remote-first company like 64 Robots, having a decent internet connection is essential for me so I started to think about solutions and preparing the field for eventually get the fiber.

We may be the smartest beings on our planet (although dolphins may give us a run for our money) but every Earth-like planet housing life will effectively have a smartest species. Lets conservatively assume there are 100,000 planets in our galaxy with life of roughly equal intelligence to our own, ignoring the high probability that there could be beings 10–100x as smart as us. The other important factor is how advanced their civilization is. If you can imagine bringing an iPhone back just 100 years then what does a human civilization 1,000 years ahead of us look like? Their technology would be so advanced that we’d think it was magic. But let’s, with hubris, imagine we are among the most advanced civilizations and place us in the 90th percentile. That still means there’s 10,000 civilizations ahead of us, maybe 1,000 of which have discovered how faster than light (FTL) travel.
