(I met this guy in Cambridge Mass in the 80's).

- sbf501 4y agoIt's insane, right? GPS antenna tech evolved crazy fast after high-res GPS was made available to the public in the mid-90's. Not to mention all the 3G/LTS/4G/5G investment. Things could still be made smaller if there were more antennae nearby: hence lower transmit power. But I think the smartphone format is pretty dang near perfect.

I want to do lowriders - when the lowest point of butt is lower than a line between two axles. This is an incredible fast form-factor for totally good roads. Thanks HN for a discussion.
