I got my FCC Amateur Extra Class license about a year ago - went from nothing to that, but I'm an EE so the technical part wasn't difficult - just had to cram for the regulations and best practices and stuff.

I got the ARRL study books for each class - Technician, General, Amateur Extra then did the online practice exams on the ARRL website.

"there is a growing movement that fears any antenna as a source of, for lack of a better term, bad energies. Even a passive antenna only used to listen to FM radio can catch the ire of those who fear EM waves. This law is a bit of a bulwark against that movement."

A lot of opposition to outdoor antennas is from people who just think they're ugly.

Agree with this.
This isn't about seating exactly, but on the topic of grouping, I remember hearing about one particularly stark example from Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast. During the French Revolution, at one point the National Assembly moved, along with the King, from Versailles to Paris, and immediately became much more partisan and radical. Previously, when the delegates had arrived in Versailles, they had found living space with other delegates from their region of France; after the move to Paris, the party lines had been drawn and delegates moved in with their political allies instead.

As an aside, the Legislative Assembly, which followed the Nat'l Assembly appears to have had a horseshoe shape [1]. It didn't even survive for a whole year, although we probably can't blame that on the shape.

Most of your comments in this thread are just whiny trolling, but I don't like to leave harmful misinformation like this comment unaddressed. Running can have a positive effect in reducing or avoiding depression, but it is absolutely not going to solve everything for everyone. If you are depressed and do not want to run, or are running and do not find it cures your depression, you should get help, and you should not let some asshole convince you that you just need to run harder or better or be a different person in order to make things better.
I don't think it's unusual for people to have more apps than music albums installed on a particular device, and people that audit them in any great detail are very much in the minority. I'd be surprised if the average person could even detail the differences in security implications between downloading an mp4 music video or downloading an executable application purporting to be a music video from the website of a band they like.

It's not exactly as if good old-fashioned music CDs never installed rootkits on users' computers either.

"Gifted children" is just a special buzzword to make parents feel good about their high-functioning-autism offspring. That's how it worked here in Canada.

My first encounter with such "gifted" students was in elementary school, they had a class right next to ours. At the time, I never knew about the concept of "gifted students" but what I remember clearly is this: They were constantly bullied for their appearance and mannerisms (ie. very bad dress sense, lack of hygiene, awkward personalities, poor motor skills) fast forward to today, none of these past gifted-students are doing anything special or noteworthy in academia and or the workforce (from my research)

This is just my experience, but perhaps I'm being too harsh.

Reflections on Six Years of Content Marketing in a Bootstrapped Startup
They don't really have that much influence, which is why so much government-owned bandwidth has been sold off to commercial interests, instead of being given to hams.

However, the government does recognize, to a certain extent, the importance of amateur radio -- particularly, these days, for emergency communication (which is the main reason for this bill that's mentioned in the article).

Some hams are disappointed that other aspects of the hobby are underappreciated and emergency communications are becoming the main reason for the existence of ham radio, but that's the way it is. And if it wasn't for the emergency services provided by hams, this law would probably not have passed.
Better make these things for stale platforms. Goto80 just released dubcrt, a self executing, "fully interactive" album for the C64--a platform unlikely to make an app-breaking change anytime soon. IMO this is a great example of what this thing claimed to do first, too.

I spend quite a bit of time in Utah and just want to reinforce that chronic homelessness is very different from 'the amount of homeless people you see on the streets' because the area around Pioneer Park is actually worse now than I've seen in years in terms of sheer number-of-homeless.

Apple does care about its service business revenues, and I think they felt they needed to compete with Spotify, etc. instead of letting others slowly erode iTunes' share. This isn't about lock-in to iDevices -- Apple Music is also available on Windows, Android.
> So if a simulator shows a deviation from this constant sum, there's something wrong with the simulator and/or the underlying mathematics.

Not necessarily so -- many (most) discrete integrators do not exactly conserve the Hamiltonian. In fact, large classes of geometric integrators yield noticeable (but bounded) amounts of 'noise' on top of the true Hamiltonian.

Where are you getting that nicotine is not addictive? Everything I've ever read and can find searching says it is quite addictive, even by itself. It also definitely counts as "physically" addictive by the medical definition, i.e. it causes harmful side effects if you stop using it.

The system proposed here is almost the exact opposite of a basic income:

What Powered Utah's Success...And finally, most of the advocates and agencies in Utah know each other and work well with each other. They also know most of the homeless people by name...One person recommends a name from the list...Ed Snoddy, who does medical outreach for Volunteers of America, a faith-based nonprofit, speaks up...."He is notoriously dealing (drugs) right now,"...The group agrees that this individual does not play nice with others, and isn't right for this particular apartment. For now, his name stays on the list.

They assess need/sociability and provide specific rooms to specific people they think will be well suited to them. Each person has a caseworker who helps them manage their life, since evidently these people can't do it themselves.

And these are mostly "supportive housing". I.e. paternalistic organized homes, rather than just handing out money and expecting the homeless to successfully manage their own lives. This housing isn't just regular flats, it's patrolled by off-duty cops, has lots of rules, and you get kicked out if you don't obey them.

This program is run by the guy who organizes paternalistic social programs for LDS - the state literally asked the church if they could borrow him. This is story about how awesome Mormon social technology is, and is completely the opposite of BI.

Yep, here's a brief overview of that from 2007 https://youtu.be/NJ9Jml0GBPk?t=1937 . SPARC64 is a favorite of this developer because it's some Alice in Wonderland stuff where up is down and left is right compared to other architectures. So it exposes a number of bugs that others don't.

Bugs exposed by moving to different architectures are fascinating. They always originate from assumptions that just happen to work on the architecture they were designed on. But when you go to a different arch they go from being sort of harmlessly incorrect to crash and burn type of incorrect. Or, infinitely worse, a sort of works but not in the way you expect it situation.
Even as a vehemently anti-Trump person, I find the Washington Post has become insufferably partisan to the point of making the left look bad. This is the final nail in the coffin of their legitimacy, to me.

I think you missed half my point, as well. Doctors do take risks with patient's persons all the time. The risks are often taken with the patient's person over the doctor's credentials. My father is on 3 blood pressure meds and hus doctor refuses to try a new regimine that would only require 1. Wtf. The number of complications that are introduced with 3 medications is absurdly risky, but the doctor won't risk a switch. And this is all covered during a 5 min conversation. People soend more time arguing with mechanics about automobile work.

As a society we praise workaholics for being productive, look up to PhDs for casting off years of relationships and life experiences in order to become an expert, and put athletes on pedestals for pushing their bodies to the limit. And even though for the vast majority of people for whom which increased working memory and attention span would mean better education, better professional results, and thus better pay, healthcare, and better general quality of life, and we just shut down the conversation. No, we are told. You can't. Discussion over. Period.

I say, f-ck that. If that's the nor, I challenge it. If that is because doctors don't want to have the responsibility rest on them, I say lay the responsibility with me.

It's not without purpose though. It does it because printing all four colors ("registration") instead of just black makes for a deeper black (if that makes sense).

However, you don't want to use 100% registration for text as it can easily eat up your ink/toner. A good compromise if you need deeper blacks is 100% K with a bit of CMY (don't know the percentage).

I'm not discarding the idea that printer companies do it so the customer has to buy more ink; that may be somewhat true. However, even high end printers that are designed to last still do this to an extent, so it's not entirely a money grab.
> I wasn't aware that the end result was essentially a privatized shelter system.

For the record, a privatized shelter system isn't inherently a bad thing. Private shelters are an integral part of addressing homelessness in many cities.

The problem is that this particular program is an unbelievably inefficient route to that end result, and it also does so in a way that eats away at existing inventory for long-term tenants.

Amateur radio has a role as kind of a communications militia that can be called up in times of emergency, and the ARRL happens to be the most influential voice in that community. Aside from the chit-chat and banter, hams regularly take part in emergency drills, trying to locate and contact faint signals, setting up infrastructure to extend the reach of communications, etc.
In the US to obtain a license you take a written test. There are no more morse code requirements like there used to be.

In most built up areas there are tests multiple times a month, administered by volunteer examiners. In a few places the tests are free, most places you pay a fairly nominal amount (like $15). You show up, show ID, take the test, and learn if you pass on site. Your paperwork is sent to the FCC and tada (your address shows up in a public license database).

There three levels of licensing: technician then general then extra. Tech gives you all permissions for VHF and above, if you are only interested in VHF+ then a tech license is all you need. To transmit on HF (shortwave, which is not limited to line of sight) you will need at least general. Extra adds access to a few small reserved segments and the ability to request a vanity callsign. Assuming you want to do the study, it's possible to take and pass all three levels at one event (usually this will only cost the single fee, if any fee is charged).

The tests are multiple choice and drawn from public question pools, so study is fairly easy. Several people have put up data files for flashcard programs. If you know a bit about radio and apply some common sense, you can probably pass the technician test cold or get very close to it. You can try the tests online: http://www.eham.net/exams/

Standard procedure is to take the online tests until you reliably pass whatever test segments you'd like to try.. then go take it. I would strongly recommend trying for general+tech, even if you only plan on using tech-- it's not much harder to do general as well and you get access to a lot more spectrum that way.
... If that's the norm...
It will. My theory is that it comes from solar energy. As soon as electricity generation comes to a near-zero cost, and a huge part of manufacturing cost is energy, (and the other largest cost, humans, is also displaced) we start to rapidly move to a place where traditional economies as we know them start to crumble, and we are forced (perhaps kicking and screaming) to accept that we simply can't have Full Employment (maybe not even half). After that providing people with basic rights that include housing, healthcare, etc., becomes low-cost enough that not doing so is much more detrimental.

I bought a Lexmark laser printer about 12 years ago. A few days ago I bought my very first replacement toner cartridge for it - until this point I have been using the included cartridge, which is probably a half-capacity one. As you can guess, I do a lot of printing.

The box for the cartridge actually says that it will:

1) Only dispense a certain amount of toner before the printer will stop printing and that there will still be some toner left in the cartridge when this happens.

2) Update the firmware on the printer so that it won't accept 3rd-party cartridges.

3) Stuff about me agreeing to return the used cartridge to Lexmark for recycling since I bought a "return program" cartridge. Lexmark sold the cartridge for a reduced price, returning it for recycling is my end of the bargain.

They didn't use these exact words, but it was very clearly written and seemed like it would be pretty understandable to a regular person.

On one hand, I have to give Lexmark props for full disclosure that doesn't hide behind a click-through license or any weasel-words/legalese. On the other hand, changing the printer after purchase to lock the owner into Lexmark cartridges seems kind of low.

I'm really not sure how I feel about this though. I don't mind buying the manufacturer's cartridges or packing up the old one to be returned. But at the same time I'm worried that, in another 12 years, Lexmark might no longer be making cartridges for this printer and I'll have to throw the printer away.

The Post's Article is saying that Snowden is responsible for leaking legal and secret information.

As you say, the Post is responsible for publishing it, but the Post's actions do not absolve Snowden of his responsibilities.

I didn't know that PRISM was legal, and in that light I guess I'd agree with the Post Editorial.

Howerver, I do respect and admire Snowden for releasing what he did.
