   This is the exact model that I use on RadioReference.com. We have an API that exposes our entire radio database to end users, but they must be premium subscribers to access the data through the API. This spurred the development of tons of

   This is basically a blueprint for political speechwriters to utilize. It may unfortunately not be the antidote that was envisioned.

   These folks that design and run these experiments must have nerves of steel. You know that feeling when you have a file server that is half way around the world and all the sudden it's gone unresponsive? Then you have to start a recov

   I would argue that the mobile communications device called the "iPhone" is one of the most significant technology innovations developed in the past 100 years. Love it, hate it, whatever, but it completely revolutionized what is pr

   The "problem" is we really are in an technology revolution similar to the industrial revolution 200-300 years ago. For every 100 tech startup businesses that don't generate a penny of profit and are propped up by hyper valua

   One thing that is so critical in RF exploring is antenna design, and you can see where the author learns that very quickly. It's kind of like the old adage in audio where you can have the best sources, AMPs, scalers, etc... but your sp

   Note that this isn't a GPS failure, it's a failure with Inmarsat's Satellite-based Augmentation Systems (SBAS), which supplements GPS data with signal measurement errors corrections. This allows for centimeter level position

    Some other persepctives: "Skier's left/right" for snow skiing. Ambiguity arises when looking uphill or downhill. When riding on a float in Mardi Gras in New Orleans. You might be on the "driver's side" o

    yup, the needles contain the poison and the poison doesn't break down or deteriorate. Given that only a super small amount of poison is required to induce pain, the needles and poison can conceivably outlive the "host"

    I got one worse for you. The home that I lived in when I was 16 years old had a chain link fence in the backyard that was covered in poison ivy. I got the bright idea do douse some of it in gasoline and light it on fire to get rid of it. Ba

    I love the skunkworks reference. Every time I see something like this in a 3 person startup, I just want to grab someone by the neck and tell them: "Bro, your mobile app redesign to Flutter is not a 'skunkworks' project. Un

    Of course. But when you do it on an 11,000 foot runway with full fuel and a passenger it's almost comical to fly almost two miles down the runway centerline. :)

    There are probably more unlicensed pilots in Alaska than there are licensed. "Restrictions" on the frontier out in Alaska are a LONG way away...

    A lot of this is not a big surprise for those that are pilots. Aircraft design is has come a long way since the 40's. It's very easy to get a plane off the around quickly that weighs less than 1300 pounds and has a 100 horsepower

    The naming of your group is a symptom of the overall problem. No one names their gang the "community outreach response unit" which is what these units should be. People name their gangs the "Outlaws" or "Vipers&quo

    The group of Memphis police officers who were responsible for the murder of Tyre Nichols operated as a gang. I'm just speculating at this point, but naming your specialized unit the "Scorpion Unit" probably also resulted in t
