The economic model for that is a winner-takes-all market, which media is a textbook case of. Social media, on the other hand, is a little heavier tailed, but still nothing like engineering.
This one is definitely a parody / not a serious project.
A simple comparison might help: while from the outside this likely looks like the famous "leftist yells at leftist" scenario, the alternative - where a single expert has their theories elevated into law, without room for disagreement, looks a lot like Lysenkoism, and usually results in large-scale suffering with no scientific value (due to mistakes, large or small, in individual theories).

I'm not in this field and can't hazard a guess at the exact utility of this dispute, but when I see specialists and the impassioned debating vigorously on their principles, I trust it's because of relevant disagreements in the field, because that's what I observe in my preferred domain. Some amount of slapfighting is inevitable - we're all human - but this is a particularly humane way to hash out differences.
You are absolutely correct. My experience, which is by no means exhaustive, is that "symbol rate" vs "baud rate" vs "bit rate" and "protocol encoding" vs "data bits" are topics that go deep but can quickly overwhelm someone thinking about this stuff for the first time (or at least nearly so). So to reassure you I was trying to be more "accessible" than "precise" in my writing here. And yes, I often miss the mark and go too far one way or the other.

That said building large constellation QAM modulator/demodulators is a lot of fun I've discovered, but building real world modems that can deal with fading, reflections, and multipath takes away the fun pretty quickly :-).
Are we not seeing a rise in far-right leaders across the globe? Italy, Israel, Poland, Hungary... not to mention growing conservative movements in however many countries not currently governed by far-right populists. (America is certainly one of them. I believe France is another.)
Ugh, this again. They are not exclusive concepts. And the US constitution denotes both.

It's not an accident that contemporary US Republicans have started repeating this talking point. The last Republican challenger to win the presidency (not re-election) by popular vote was George HW Bush 35 years ago. Expect to see less 'will of the people' talk from them in the years ahead.

The choice to define SI such that the constants have known specific values, with the result that the exact meaning of the units is the thing our metrication discovers not the values of those constants - is a really clever trick.

This completes the work of making SI truly universal. Once upon a time all of SI was defined in terms of prototypes, available only locally. In the case of objects like the kilogram and the metre, these were literally prototype physical objects, in some other cases what we measured was the planet we lived on, which is at least available in theory to all its occupants, although not much use if you're in Andromeda. While measuring the second according to its current definition is a bit trickier than estimating its first definition (in terms of a solar day) it's actually possible anywhere in principle.
No, what we see is popular parties with watered down centric programmes drawing in the same core voters for decades. Parties that actively advertise resisting change almost never win any elections, unless the political system you use as reference sucks so bad that it's a defacto duopoly.

Does Vegas have its own value of pi? (whimsical treasure hunt, not math) [video]
I'm also guessing that, whether or not there's something at least very close to self-driving under many conditions in ten years, unless you really like being in full control, I'm guessing in ten years, you'll be looking enviously at those cars that can drive themselves around on the freeway most of the time.
I really enjoyed watching this investigation into why the Las Vegas Sphere (an LED display covered giant spherical building, which I'd never heard of) has the wrong value of pi listed on their website. Along the way the video is a bit of a font of tidbits of random nerd knowledge.

I may write up a TL;DR and paste it in here, but I wouldn't want to spoil it for anybody who wants to follow this wild goose chase. in the video the answer becomes apparent after 12 mins
the Trabant? must be a slow day. As a diesel engine mechanic I once worked alongside a Slovenian who did our body panel work and he always had a good Trabant joke.

did you know Trabant had a luxury package where it came with dual exhaust? the feature was hailed as a revolutionary wheelbarrow with heated handles.
When you make coffee, the water cools, eg the rat-tails from an espresso being made (with water at 85-95 C) have a large surface area which leads to cooling as the coffee enters a cup. A ceramic cup/mug will leech out heat, despite being kept warm (about 40 C?). Drip coffee often sits on a heater, but the temperature is relatively low.

McDonalds reportedly used higher temperatures to extract more coffee, and kept their coffee very hot, enough to cause third degree burns in the Hot Coffee case IIRC. They had many complaints and refused to lower the temperature.

So, McDonalds don't need to cool it so much as not heat it so much. Drinking temperature is below 70 C, McDo were reportedly giving it to people at 90+ C, reports say 20 C above industry norms; hotter than being temperatures.

Blaming customers who are very familiar with buying coffee for not knowing you purposeful heat it to a much higher temperature would be crass in the extreme. Like selling Chicken Korma (a very mild curry) and putting ghost peppers (very hot spicy peppers) in it, and refusing to add a warning or anything when lots of people complained.
Agreed-- at least relaxing the restriction for UHF/SHF signals on a "secondary usage" basis (traffic must yield to plaintext). Potentially with with reduced power (say 100w) or minimum directionality, but I think a 'secondary usage' would be sufficient. Without doing so virtually all non-HF experimentation will continue to be deflected onto the ISM bands and we will lose our allocations through disuse.

So long as identification is still decodable, spectrum usage can be managed.

It's sufficient to prohibit commercial usage you don't need plaintext to do so. The old threat of tow trucks and cab services moving onto ham-bands had long since been mooted by ubiquitous cellular, but even if it weren't any significant commercial usage will eventually have a whistleblower. Usage that is obscure enough to not be vulnerable to whistleblowers could also be hidden just as well in "plaintext" traffic that was really uncrackable steganography.

As it stands you can't even lawfully log into your own personal systems over amateur radio even if you take the unreasonable steps of using specially modified software to authenticate-but-not-encrypt because inevitably some third party will send a message to you via the internet that contains some naughty words that aren't permitted over the radio.

Without relaxing the encryption rules, innovative radio usage like meshtastic (https://meshtastic.org/) will continue to be pushed onto ISM bands where (1) they're still technically unlawful because the homebrew hardware is not type-accepted (amateur bands are the ONLY place where homebrew intentional radiators are allowed!) and (2) where the band choices, power limit, and EIRP limits are detrimental to full exploration of the possibilities.

Besides, the FCC has long allowed proprietary, license fee bearing, patent encumbered digital modes. These are very close to encryption in terms of their ability to lock others out of ham comms, and have frequently been used by amateur radio groups to establish "lid free" communications channels. (Because most of the more irritating people aren't technically sophisticated enough to adopt some new mode without help, and people won't help them...).

The rules as they stand punish honest people who follow the intent and spirit of the rule in favor of people willing to just ignore the rules (including operating unlawful devices in ISM bands), willing to use stego, or willing to use obscure protocols to achieve the same ends that they'd otherwise achieve with encryption. It blocks modern networking by disallowing standard internet-grade software use with radio since all of it has integral encryption which generally can't be disabled to prevent downgrading and cross domain attacks in contexts where the encryption is needed -- or because in some cases the protocols are designed in such a way that authentication without encypherment isn't possible.

I dunno how big the sound files are, but mp3 is going to use a lot less storage than uncompressed PCM. Using a smaller flash chip saves money on the BOM.

Bluetooth headphones already need to manage several formats to decode, and the chipset that does that may also decode mp3, and mp3 is easy to work with to prepare the files.
In the hosted version, we sign the document on behalf of the user using our own private key. Our roadmap also has the feature to bring your own cert(not relevant here). As soon as a user signs a document, a copy of the signed document is instantly sent to all the parties involved. This ensures that the signer cannot revoke the documents already signed. If the receiving party tries to modify the document, the signature becomes invalid. This is how we make sure that the docs are "tamper-proof" after signing.

> Monbiot and his fellow Cartesian rationalists handicap their ability to understand complex ecological systems as soon as they make measurement of inert nature, out of context, a condition for understanding.

No, the article is a fair critique of Monibot et. al.'s behavior in the context of this topic, who often have fine theoretical frameworks that completely ignore the ideological, cultural, and otherwise vitally important social aspects inherent to food production and consumption.

To wit, you're not going to get the population of, say, Mexico or France to eat fermented protein paste with out a) becoming a tyrant or b) erasing some of the most important traditions of the cultures in those countries.
> If the Linux ecosystem could get its act together, standardize, and consolidate all the totally needless and pointless distribution fragmentation we could challenge this.

Maybe, but that will never happen because the ecosystem got here by being open enough that people could be dissatisfied with existing stuff and make their own thing, and to a remarkable degree things are intercompatible. It's always been like this; just because there are 20 people working on distro A and 20 people working on distro B doesn't mean combining them would get 40 people working on distro AB. (In practice, attempting it would probably result in the creation of distros C-F as dissidents forked off.)

> Docker took off because there is no Linux. There are 50 different slightly incompatible OSes. So the best way to distribute software is to basically tar up the entire filesystem and distribute that. Dependency management has failed because there’s just too much sprawl.

I think I agree with you; part of the problem is that people treat "Linux" as an OS, when it's a piece that's used by many OSs that appear similar in some ways.

> Apple macOS is the only OS you can ship software for without statically linking or bundling everything and be reasonably sure it will work… as long as you are not going back more than two or three versions.

...but then by the same exact logic as the previous point, I think this falls apart; macOS isn't the only OS you can target as a stable system. In fact, I would argue that there are a lot of OSs where you can target version N and have your software work on N+1, N+2, and likely even more extreme removes. Last I looked, for example, Google's GCP SDK shipped a .deb that was built against Ubuntu 16.04 specifically because that let them build a single package that worked on everything from that version forward. I have personally transplanted programs from RHEL 5 to (CentOS) 7 and they just worked. Within a single OS, this is perfectly doable.
> In an effort to make diets and agriculture “sustainable,” urban bureaucrats make policy based on industrial agricultural data, completely ignoring experience and practices coming out of holistically managed operations.

A general irritation I have with conservatives, and this article is a perfect example, is when they don't know-- or pretend not to know-- who actually pulls the levers of power. American agricultural policy is set first by mega-agribusinesses, and second by politicians in Midwestern states cynically pandering to the dwindling number of family farms that still remain. The sorts of vegan activists this author is panicking about are concentrated in coastal states who have little to no ability to influence the Farm Bill. They simply don't matter.

> Chief among these “farm-free” advocates is George Monbiot, a vegan activist and, naturally, a Guardian columnist.

Come the fuck on. A Guardian columnist has about as much influence on American ag policy as my cat.

But it appears to do nothing of the sort. The example given immediately below this is a Twitter comment by a EU official being blocked by the script, as well as several other posts engaging with it. I don't have any reason to think these people are AIs or are using AIs.

Wolfram is a very smart fellow and deserves much credit for Mathematica. But these little side projects are very much outsider physics. No one is actually interested in pursuing his ideas because they're not particularly compelling.

You are incorrect. I'm not familiar with any law that requires Docusign in any jurisdiction in which I practice.

The Federal Esign Act provides: 15 USC 7006(5):

The term “electronic signature” means an electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record.

This notification process will ensure that amateur stations seeking to operate in the above noted bands are located beyond a minimum separation distance from PLC transmission lines, which will help ensure the compatibility and coexistence of amateur and PLC operations, and promote shared use of the bands.”
