The fact that my "empathy" can turn off extremely easy and I can completely stop caring about someone in an instant. Or take advantage of them.

I don't usually do that, but I have some very cold moments (the autism doesn't help).

Plus I'm really good at scaring people by being honest about how much I could be faking my emotions at any given moment.

Oh it's useful and if you want to use it that doesn't change. However a number of us are interested in the digital and experimental side of ham radio, for that morse code doesn't really offer anything and it's a non-trivial hurdle to cross.

The hobby already struggles with gatekeeping/driving off people who don't "ham right" and so making the hobby more accessible is a big positive in my book.
I often think that a lot of math would work out more easily if we _only_ used polar coordinates and regarded the negative numbers as a "separate number line" rather than a continuation of the positive numbers.

(In particular, if you know about delta functions... a lot of weirdness around x=0 goes away if you write everything in terms of r \sgn (r) and take the derivatives of both terms. e.g. This gives "for free" the fact that the divergence of 1/r^2 is 4 pi delta(r).)

I have heard of systems in which one sticks more lines out from 0 than just the positive and negative numbers. At some level that's what R^2 is, with four copies of the positive number line, but I don't see a strong reason why in principle you couldn't have an odd number of lines, which would correspond to... uh... R^1.5. But you have to define how these lines rotate into each other, and it is gonna be weird.

I currently work as a dev but have a more scientific background, and that background is leaking into my writing, so much so that I have been told that my documents are too abstract and "science-y". My more technical audience - principals + - are fine with it, but others struggle a lot.

I miss exactly two things from android on iOS. Both involve Bluetooth not sucking.

The first one is that the minimum volume on my Bluetooth earbuds is too damn loud on iOS. This is true for every third party set of headphones I have tried. People have been complaining about this online for a decade. The EU even passed a law to make them fix it (spoiler alert: it did not work).

FFS, min volume in the UI should map to hardware volume level integer one!

The second issue is that third party apps can’t expose music or podcasts via the car bluetooth media browsing menu. They can on android.

That means I can listen to podcasts and stream tidal using the jogwheel on my car with android, but not ios.

Other Bluetooth complaints:

Why does my Apple Watch blacklist car stereos?

Bluetooth is really buggy in iOS version N and N-1.
It’s either a (relatively) small solid or molten/fluid core. We don’t know for sure.

Expats can be helpful to a country like Portugal but it has to be done correctly. And of course it hasn't. What Portugal needs to do is:

1. Ban Airbnb and other short-term housing other than renting out a room in your house;

2. Provide a huge stock of social housing, meaning housing at an affordable price only available to natives; and

3. Restrict foreign ownership of huge swathes of the country. This could be as simple as "new construction only".

Capitalism simply does not work where there's inelastic demand. it creates a regime where money is extracted from the poorest and most vulnerable by withholding basic human needs in the interests of profit for a few.

EDIT: qualified the AirBnB restriction to only what it should be for, meaning renting out a room in your house, not running an illegal hotel.
Don't let your fear of boogeymen impact your opinions on how we use spectrum

DocuSign itself just refers you to your own counsel for legal advice, but does publish and update a handy multi-country legal reference.

For the US one, at least, they give examples of where electronic signatures are pretty common and straightforward, and where you need to be careful.

Software-wise, they have features to help you show evidence of who signed, where, and when in multiple ways. Nothing magical, though.

If there were secret sauce, you would think they’d mention it prominently, but they don’t.

Thanks for asking the right question. We are taking legal help to be compliant with various jurisdictions. Our solution is currently able to safely sign a document with a digital signature that will make it tamper-proof and show a geen tick in Adobe PDF while keeping track of incremental annotations added by multiple signers. We envision to add support for eIDAS and AADHAAR e-sign(widely accepted in India) very soon.
I was expecting restrictions like encryption to be removed so you could use modern network protocols.

Amateur radio will continue losing to the internet where actual growth and innovation is happening instead of old guys larping how they are going to save the world by knowing morse code or something.
Are there really any laws requiring special types of signatures? Because I've never had a legal doc sent to me that they weren't fine with just stamping my signature on the line or even printing it out, signing it, and scanning it back in.

This is a really good thing, but for non-radio people it can be confusing.

In the 80's, the FCC put limits on digital signals below 30MHz based on "baud rate". A baud is a raw bit in a digital data stream, it can either be data or part of the channel protocol. For example, a typical serial port like you have on a PC or an Arduino or something might operate at 9600 baud, each "chunk" consisting of a start bit, 8 data bits, and a stop bit. That is a total of 10 bauds, two of them, the start bit and the stop bit, are part of telling the circuit where the data starts and stops. So 9600 baud sends 960, 8 bit bytes per second over the line or only 7,680 bits per second. With me so far?

Okay, so the reason baud rates were used is because digital modes were modulated using a technique calls "frequency shift keying" or FSK. Frequency shift keying would send one tone for a zero bit, and one tone for a one bit. Those tones were detected with a circuit called a tone detector circuit and typically they needed a few tens of cycles of the tone to reliably detect the tone. A higher frequency tone meant you could detect it sooner (shorter time for the detector to latch on to the frequency) and that would give you a higher baud rate. But if you're modulating a higher frequency tone on to an RF carrier, it creates a wider impact on the spectrum and everything else was predicated on 2.5kHz max width voice channels. So allowing a faster baudrate, using FSK modulation, would result in digital modes taking up way more spectrum and thus limit the number of users.

But between then and now, there has been a freakin' Cambrian explosion of modulation techniques because digital signal processing is just math. We have a whole stable of techniques in the barn because of this, And as a result, you can put a lot more bits on a channel without pushing the spectrum bandwidth out.

A lot of people have pointed out to the FCC that making the limit baud rate based was silly if they really wanted it to be a spectrum bandwidth limit. Just make it that, and the experimental folks will compete to see how many bauds they can fit into that space.

I will admit I am biased, I'm one of those folks who got back into Amateur Radio because I was playing around with SDRs and wanted to start trying new modulation techniques. I am not motivated by "QSOs in every state" or every country, I'm motivated by "I just pulled an image off a weather balloon over the Atlantic ocean on 20 meters!" and "I can see my beacon 500 miles away on the KiwiSDR network!" things like that. So this change is really going to open up a lot of space for experimentation for me and I can't wait.

You also need to collect multiple pieces of non-contradictory location proof to justify why you are charging the rate you are.

Bermuda. And a few other island states/nations. But they're the edge cases and most are seeing continued growth of solar, so hopefully not for long...

(The case of Bermuda is fascinating and annoying to me. You would think that they were really well positioned to take advantage of solar, but the banks there are very conservative about financing things like residential, solar and so it's been very slow to take off, despite energy prices that are some of the highest in the world)
I have never in my life had any patience for those meandering sorts of articles. And yet I eat up novels full of detail, and I have an endless attention span for reading comment sections like this one.

At the end of the day, it comes down to what I'm looking for: information or entertainment.

When I read a new article (or a recipe, etc.), I do not want to be entertained: I am after specific information.

When I read a novel, though, I absolutely do expect to be entertained, so I enjoy all the fluff.

When I used to read print magazines and papers, they fell into the "entertainment" category. But when I read on a screen, that's not what I'm after; reading on a screen is an inherently uncomfortable process and better suited to bite-sized chunks.
That's the headline number record labels and A&R men use to dupe young musicians with no familiarity with corporate America.

Indeed, there is no D1-ESP32 from Wemos. It's a name used by several non-Wemos clones that have an ESP32 chip in a module form factor that is compatible with the original Wemos D1 mini.

The challenge is that these modules are not all the same. The differences are for example in the voltage regulator and how much current you can draw from it. Which can make something work fine with one "D1-ESP32" while not working with another.

If you want the equation

x + 1 = 0

to have a solution, you need to invent negative numbers, now if you want the equation

x^2 + 1 = 0

The guy has every reason to believe in conspiracies against himself, given the history. However at the present time there are many people being charged with making similar statements and it has been well publicized by the Government that anybody who makes statements in support of listed terrorist groups will get a knock at the door and the book thrown at them. Every British person knows that such statements are very illegal.

Politically, I personally prefer something more like the US first amendment, however that is not a popular political opinion in the UK where hate speech restrictions enjoy broad political support.
It’s not a common sense folksy thing; it’s how arbitration agreements work. It’s not a blanket covering of all dealings with a company by default. So you wouldn’t fight an uphill battle to get to use the court system; you would just be there and McDonald’s could not remove you with totally unrelated software paperwork. No language to escape. Does that make sense?

(I’m not saying it’s easy to sue a large company once in court. I think everyone understands that would be a complex process and either require legal funds assistance or such a lucrative case (e coli, boiling coffee) that good lawyers would accept contingency.)

Did A.I. Write Product Reviews? Gannett Says No
Robots only look bad because we keep trying to make them work in spaces and processes optimized for bipedal meatbags, essentially forcing us to build a machine analog of that meatbag. Take a few steps back and you will realize most things are only done a certain way because it uniquely suits us. Many jobs also don't have to exist for a certain process to work and could be trivially automated, but people want them to exist (because we value human interaction and the presence of a human can be reassuring). Another reason that many things aren't automated is that human labor is comparatively cheap and upending your process, developing new machines is expensive.

> Robots are still mostly shit so there are a load of manual jobs that would be needed after programmers are replaced by AI.

Design your space with automation in mind, and you have the reverse situation. To illustrate: If you tried replacing machines in an automated factory line with humans, you may come to the conclusion that meatbags are mostly shit.

.local is a standard. Its a part of mDNS (multicast DNS). Dont use it for your own DNS records.

I'm not sure what exact issue you are having, but if you are trying to resolve mDNS .local across internal networks then you need to look up mDNS reflection. If you are trying to use .local for your own DNS records then pick something else (ideally using an actual registered TLD, so e.g. if you own foo.com then you could use lan.foo.com for your internal records).
Rather than encrypt why not steganography?

I'm not an experienced ham; I only have my technician license.

Throughout part 97, there is a repeated prohibition of transmitting "messages encoded for the purpose of obscuring their meaning." If I understand it correctly, there are many accepted ways to encode a message, but those encoding methods are (and must be) published and publicly accessible. I think that encrypting a message so that only certain people could decipher it would fall under the category of "messages encoded for the purpose of obscuring their meaning." Yes, you could encrypt a message with a published standard, but to be legal I think there would have to be some specific exceptions made to allow it because it ultimately runs afoul of the spirit of that rule.

> Glasgow Coma Scale absolutely can be administered to someone who isn’t awake

Of course, it is a coma scale after all. Actually applying it to sleeping patients though? Will get you false positives at best: even healthy patients will fail to respond verbally (-4), blink their eyes (-1) and obey commands (-1) if they're asleep. That's a maximum GCS of 9 even if you stop there. If you don't stop there, you might just get punched in the face when they are rudely awakened to the sight of you testing their pain response.

There is a reason why most of governments don't negotiate with terrorists. Nothing good even came from other tactics in the long term.

On the one hand, population decline, to the extent it’s a problem, was already a problem before AI and the internet came along. Any policy response that doesn’t address the economic causes will be a failure on its own terms.

On the other hand, governments do stupid things all the time, so yeah, sure, why not? Enforcement could be a challenge though.

Not so, according to Gannett.

Sounds like Gannett outsourced to a marketing agency, which hired freelancers to create the content (perhaps with the assistance of AI). Or perhaps the marketing agency didn't hire freelancers at all, and just created the content itself (again, with the help of AI)!
