I tried to follow along with the author by going to the same pages and seeing the difference between what he should have done and what he actually did, and it convinced me that there's no way he was doing this in good faith (unless som

I've never been clear on how Amazon's delivery contracting works exactly. I think Amazon doesn't employ any of these drivers directly, and instead just publishes rates that they're willing to work with "delivery par

Apparently I'm one of the rare few people who fell on the WiFi side of the WiFi/Zigbee smart home war. All of my lightbulbs, occupancy sensors, etc just connect directly to WiFi, and run custom firmware that I wrote so I know exac

Every government is stupid, and eventually becomes this (and worse) if there aren't protections in place to prevent the government from unilaterally acting on its stupidity. Those protections tend to be eroded over time and need to be

Is there some kind of black market for massive radio towers? How would the thieves discretely store and sell this? If they were just planning to scrap it and sell the materials, surely there are easier targets?
